Took delivery of my F6B

[D-Train]

Hi guys,
Well yesterday the dealer actually brought my F6B to my house, which is a good thing because we've got a LOT of snow recently!

Here's a link to some pics.

As you can see, the paint around the gas tank sucks, lots of orange peel, and the edges are bare in places. Is this similar to what you guys are experiencing with the paint issues you guys talk about? The paint on the rest of the bike looks great.

Some other accessories that were included:
Brake Away Throttle Lock

Kuryakyn Highway Pegs

And I need help identifying this shield. Is this a Baggershield?

I'm also not sure what to make of this drivers backrest Can it be easily removed? I won't be able to test drive it for a while.

As you can see from this photo, which shows my 2 month old Mazda CX-9 in the background and a look at my snowy neighborhood, I won't be riding anytime soon.

Those bare paint scuffs are nothing that I have seen before, its a red F6B therefor its possible that the paint may have flown off when it hit Mach 2 speeds. The backrest looks like a Utopia attached at bottom of seat pan and if removed you will end up with a hole, The shield is a WindBender, The Breakaway is a sweet add on. The snow ... sucks, last I checked U-Haul had trucks in your area, pack everything up and drive south

Thanks Jim. Yours, while the same year and color as mine, has about 1/10th the miles mine has. And I bet your paint is in better shape than mine too. I wonder if I can replace the painted parts around my tank? Or maybe just have them repainted? Frankly I think you should keep it red, I'm not a fan of white. But you seem to like looking like a cop, eh?

... you seem to like looking like a cop, eh?

Actually, I have a history of White/Black with about a dozen vehicles in the past. It's kind of a trademark for me. And now that you mention it... I've learned there is a bit of an advantage to the "cop bubble."

I am a bit nervous about the 2013 paint problems.

That's why I live in central Florida and not here:
