    The deed is done!

    I have bought a new "in the crate" 2014 F6B. I have the dealer adding the following:
    the accessory socket in the front left pocket,
    the center stand, and
    the passenger back rest.

    I picked up some Uclear headsets and plan on getting a GPS (Zumo 390)

    While I am in the "spending like it's water" mode what do you good folks suggest. It was so much less expensive than a full boat Goldwing that I feel obliged to spend some of the difference

    Congratulations
    But not where he is living, I would suggest a taller version for your area.

    First - Congratulations!
    You of course got the fastest color - shiny black!

    On to your question:
    Get the dealer to supply and apply some "Honda-Magic-Make-My-Paint-Stay-Looking-New" special sauce.
    Maybe get them to throw in a tool kit since the "B" doesn't come with one - oh wait, the Canadian version does...nevermind.

    Other items:
    You're not going to like windshield - in all probability.
    Many have not liked the seat.
    Decide on your seating (stock or aftermarket) BEFORE you invest in a windshield.

    Look in these pages (Search bar) for "motor-break-in" techniques.
    There's lots of really good information.

    But mostly - HAVE FUN!
    Cheers,
    Steve

    +1...What he said!

    on a previous bike, I got the seat re-done, & it bumped me up an inch taller. Threw my shield height out, had to get a taller shield after the seat was completed.

    Steve's got good advice!

    It's OK. Nothing earth shattering. I've heard better.

    Great value, sound is incredibly clear. Want to see how they are on the highway at speed. My buddy has had them for a couple of years and can't say enough good things about them. One thing to note, the speaker connection has to be pressed waaaay in or it does not make a connection, it seems like it would be very water resistant.
