    Hi everyone,
    I have continually owned a motorcycle for 30 years as of January 2016. (It really makes it easy to get good insurance rates!) My most notable Hondas owned have been the 1982 Honda CBX 1000 and the 1989 Honda Pacific Coast. Both bikes were before their time in my opinion. I traded my 2005 Triumph Rocket III in for the 2015 F6B Deluxe. When I did a test drive at Americade a few years ago, I was impressed at how much power it had. It was the only bike that I felt could replace the Rocket.

    Now the bike is siting in the motorcycle shed until we thaw out a little. I have already installed a few items and plan on a few more. I may need some help with how to get at some areas of the bike.

    Welcome. You'll love the F6B.

    I remember that CBX, one of the more difficult engines to sync the carbs on. Especially since most sync gauges at the time were built for 4 cylinders or less.

    Congrats on the bike purchase. Got mine at Motorsports Nation in Plainfield ( so-so satisfaction, they pushed it out the door ). Love CT roads...maybe see you guys out there this year.
