Hello. I started reading this forum last summer and bought an F6B last August. I also have 2 Valkyries (over 260,000 combined miles) and have seen some familiar names from the VRCC posting here. This is a great forum!

I took a 700 mile trip to western Colorado this week. It's hard to believe, but this bike impresses me more every time I ride it. The mid-range power is so strong you rarely have to shift to pass. Who needs more gears? Not me. The handling and braking are in the sport-touring class. And I've been surprised that it gets more positive attention than my Valkyries. This is the finest bike I've owned.

However, I do have a complaint about the radio reception. Even strong stations fade out faster than on my Valkyrie Interstate or 4 wheeled vehicles. I suspect the stubby antenna is the cause. Has anyone replaced the antenna? If so, what did you use, and what were the results?
