    If you like it now, wait until you have 20,000 miles on it !!! I'll get even better.

    It takes some wiggling but my XL HJC Sy-Max Helmet fits in the right side saddlebag.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    My Shoei Neotec fits in either of my side bags. No room to spare, but it fits.

    I used Glare wax on my black F6C and the paint is looking great no more scratches, very durable.

    This is my 2nd F6b and OMG, that stock "windshield" is useless. It's terrible above 70mph. Probably gonna go with another Clearview medium, light tint, recurve, extra width. My 2XL helmet isn't close to fitting, that's ok by me. Replacing the speakers and upgrading the amp seems to make a huge difference. I can't stand the seat, my broken tailbone doesn't help. I may get a used Mustang seat soon.

    Windshield replacement was first thing, went to Windbender 13 inch, now you can hear radio, also installed Risers, moved handle bars up and back, a lot more comfortable, and Michelin Alpine PA3, 23K first year!

    I'll have to look up that Windbender. I gotta get a new windshield first, I was pretty happy with my Clearview.

    I also have a HJC full face...only mine is 5XL!....I've got a Charlie Brown head

    When I first got my bike I tried to fit it in the side bags, and it was a no go....

    Problem was I was putting it in the same as in the pics in DMAGOLDRDR's post above.

    The fix...
    turn the helmet around....that is, put the opening towards the back wall, so that when closing the cover, you are closing it on top of the helmet.
    By doing this my 5XL fits in either side, but the left side does provide just a bit more room...and the cover closes as it should....easy!....no forcing required at all.
