    The only real thing that would be cool about a fully dressed Wing is more places to put speakers.

    I love my F6B.

    The one thing that bothers me about the F6B is the lack of lean angle; before you start scraping pegs. It has me makes riding this bike more cautiously because of it. Maybe that's a good thing... or a bad thing

    It's exacerbated even more with the Kuryakyn 3/4" drop down adapters and #4321 Kinetic pegs I've since installed.

    I need to find a better solution to this problem. I may end up reinstalling the stock OEM driver pegs; to get back to some normalcy of taking corners without dragging parts like this.

    I'm sure the drop down pegs affect lean angle. However, I will say I've actually increased cornering speed while having less dragging by practicing throttle control and choosing proper lines. This was verified at the recent F6B rally when riding through the Dragon, I could hear the two in front of me scraping almost every corner all the way through and I never scraped once. Here I was wondering if I had just not been riding as hard, and it turns out yeah I could go faster before I start scraping.

    I actually like the Goldwing but the high price tag up here ($30,000) and the cramped seating broke the deal for me. The F6B is perfect for my wallet and style of riding.

    It is an old person ride, hides the old person smell.

    Here's another old person ride.

    Couldn't scrape up themoney for that one. Bought a new CB750 in 76. Still one of my favorites.
