    Just a little love for the mirrors and horn

    I know the mirrors and the horn, two little nondescript accessories on the F6B. Or are they?

    I have to say easily the BEST mirrors on any bike I've owned. The best stock horn on any motorcycle I've ever owned.

    That combination makes situational awareness much easier, and sounding warnings like you mean business. Both add significant safety to your ride.

    +1 on that horn. Gets attention quite quickly!

    Cool

    I couldn't agree more. Best stock horn I have ever heard in 49 years riding and 6 GWs. And mirrors, without a doubt , forward enough if I cant see you I can hear you.

    Those F6B mirrors are just great! Never had anything like it in over 30 years of riding and owning many many bikes!
    Plus those headlights are very good when riding in the dark, they light up the street as if you were in a car; not many other bikes come close (except the GW).

    Everything is great

    I have not found any of the accessories on this motorcycle to be anything but top notch. Who ever had a motorcycle you could back up just using the mirrors, that alone is a first. Top of the line accessories makes this the bike I was always looking for. Boy am I glad I found it.

    I agree about the F6 !!
    Another motorcycle ( and I had 3 of them) was the Kawasaki Voyager 1300. Great mirrors and air horn !!

    This is my first bike that I did not install aftermarket horns. No need!

    I had a KZ1300, pre-voyager model. Great bike, pretty darn hot at stop lights. The fuel in the tank would "boil". Huge air bubbles would come up from the bottom of the tank. The tank would get too hot to touch comfortably. Still a great bike!

    Before I got the F6B I was looking around for horn mods ahead of time but it just didn't look like something many people did.
    Previous bike was an ST1300 and you HAD to mod the horns if you intended to be heard.

    The ST1300 riders quickly found ways around the stock horn, often with Stiebel. Just don't know if it would be much help on the B.

    Sometimes my jacket will catch the horn when I'm reaching to push my garage door opener in the left cubby, startles me every time. "was that ME?"
    And yes, those mirrors though. Fantastic.

    I had thought about making this very thread at one point!

    (don't know why my image is so small. if you can't see from the pic, it's a collection of horn mod threads.)

    This is the FIRST bike I've owned that I didn't have to replace the horn! For the record, best mirrors I've had on a motorcycle yet.
