    the horn

    have to say that the horn is probably not necessary, love the factory horn, probably the best factory installed horn I have ever come across.

    Pretty sure that you'll want to add a different windshield to that list.

    As young people say, "I know, RIGHT!?"
    Man, I rode an ST1300 and the horn was just something that barely satisfied some DOT minimum decibel requirement. I was startled first time I pressed the horn button on the B.

    MrJava, not so sure about the trunk as both the Honda and BikeMP3 capacities are 6.6 lbs. It was mentioned that it's probably such a low rating to cover their butts, (the companies), but I'm thinking it's because of the bolt locations. If the bolts were spread out further or if there was at least one additional bolt at the rear the rating would be much higher. The back part of the luggage rack is the lever and the rear set of standard screws are the fulcrum.
    No matter what you do please post pics and results. Have a blast!

    Seems to me the Goldwing would have been better for your needs...Why a trunk, floorboards, etc. etc...no need for a horn the one on the F6b is great....JMHO and to "each his own" as they say...Ride safe

    I graduated from a Vaquero, too. F6B is a fantastic improvement. I originally thought I would want floorboards too, but I have now come to like the pegs. You might try them for a while, maybe get highway pegs instead. Many here got either Kuryakyn Ergo IIIs or Rivco. Windshield replacement is an absolute necessity. I also got the Ultimate King seat and I rave about it. Good luck and have fun!

    I would fabricate a plate so the trunk attaches to the plate and the plate attaches to the rack.

    It would seem that way. However I dont care for the looks of the GW trunk, and i do not believe it removable.
    I had a bit of an issue when i test rode the 2013 with the shifter location. Maybe its different on a 2016. I will investigate this further.
    As far as the horn goes, I want something that will snap their heads upright when the light changes, they start drooping when at a red light. Must be some weird Colorado disease....or they are texting...but they wouldnt do that?
