    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.

    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!

    Agree completely on the mirrors and horn

    I looked at several if the mirror indicator kits out there ($199 and up) and landed on http://www.rattlebars.com/chetswing/lights.html#MIRRORS .... Completed the project for under $10. You do need to know how to solder for this one.

    I also added these blind spot mirrors under my mirrors. Big improvement.
