Took delivery of my F6B

[Phantom]

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.

My red 2013 gas tank area paint looks nothing like that. I bought mine a leftover new bike in the spring of 2015 and put several coats of Liquid Glass on all the paint and it looks as it should to this day. Not to knock your bike but that paint is horrible.

No offense taken, I agree it looks like sh*t, which is strange considering the rest of the bike looks pretty good. This was one of my reservations about buying a bike sight unseen. Oh well, I can probably get those parts repainted for a few hundred bucks I would guess. I really can't figure out what might have caused the damage. And since LOTS of owners of this bike complain about problems with the paint I guess I should "join the club". I just wish I knew if this is Honda's fault or if the previous owner might be somehow responsible.
