Quite a week!

[choptop]

Stories like yours make me want the F6b all that much more. Sold my Warrior a little over a month ago, it road away a couple of hours before I went on my ride w/the Harley and it broke down, been w/out a bike since then. Have been following this forum, daily, since I joined. A friend, in the riding club I belong to, bought a black one, the faster color, a little over a month ago, and loves it. My plan, at this point is to get the Harley fixed, in the spring, keep it for the look and sound, and pick up a used F6B in the spring. Gives me the winter to pay off some things or maybe get rid of a toy in exchange for the F6B.

Just made it back a couple hours ago,,,

Here are a couple shots,, The 'Illusion Blue' is only blue from in certain light conditions,,, 'Blurple' is a more fitting name as its purple most of the time,,

Yeah, that's her shield on my bike, and vice versa,,,

I bought a bagger-shield from HOR for her bike,,, Went to install it and ran into the 'big slots/little washers' issue. Pulled my front off, Same problem.

Bought flat washers for 'my' old(?) baggershield and put it on her bike. (HOR will be shipping me a F6B specific baggershield later this week.)
Long story short, HOR has been 'unaware of' a separate F6B bagger shield and has been equipping all their Signature Series F6B bikes with GL1800 shields, not F6B shields.
(Can't fault em too much, the Parts Unlimited catalog doesn't have the F6B shield listed, only the GL1800)

GL1800 shield doesn't come all the way down to the fairing on each side when mounted on an F6B

This is because the F6B doesn't have the adjustable height shield feature the GL1800 does. That same shield does come down all the way on the sides on a GL, but not a F6B,,,

Stories like yours make me want the F6b all that much more. .

We were at the Bikes Blues, and BBQ rally earlier this week. Wife test rode a Road King, and I test rode a CVO Road King. (Street glide was out when we were ready to go, so, what the heck, give me the CVO!!! )

There's a world of difference between RK's and F6B's. If you are used to HD's, it would be 'a bit less foreign' to you that they were to us. They were nice bikes, no doubt about it, and the CVO I rode had some good 'grunt', but all the shakin' below 2k is, well, kinda unnecessary IMHO.

I do like what HD did with the Rushmore project, and change is coming, but the Honda 1800 flat six is smooth as buttah, and the wind protection is SWEET for eating up the miles.

If you order parts 33 and 34 (link shows diagram) along with the screws 57 and 40 the windshield will fit much better. I ended up using the F6B bolts on the sides (slots are more narrow). The parts keep the shield centered and in the up or down position, your choice.

That's what it needs! The 3/8 fender washers on all 3 bolts are what I have now, but the OEM parts at least in the center would be better!

Thanks!

No prob, that's why we're here right? I bought the side slots and screws too but ended up not using them because they didn't want to fit nice.
