    Dealer sent me a "teaser" pic

    Picking up my bike tomorrow morning from the dealer.....I have been begging for pics of the new paint because I just have no patience and all he would send me is a quick pic from the back........



    Plenty more to follow once I get it home.........I can't wait to see the front end of it! I have so many new things to put on it first so it may be a few days but let the work begin!!!

    It's looking great! Obviously, it will be a beautiful F6B.

    Too bad while you're building the bike some of us will be enjoying Daytona Bikeweek!

    I love it. Solves the swirl-job Honda offers.

    Well here's another angle from when I went to get it today. Unfortunately they will be keeping it a few more days to fix several issues that were wrong......I was not a happy camper.

    Just curious as to what the "issues" were that required the dealer to keep your bike for a few more days??...I had mine custom painted also before pick-up and it took 3 weeks before it was ready...No big deal now and bike looks great but seemed like a long time as the dealer I used has a custom trike shop and many years experience with painting , assembly, and take down....Looks nice from the photo's....Mine is Brandywine Red Clearcoat and looks terrific in the sunlight....

    They didn't put the intercom cable back in the holder, it's behind a panel somewhere.
    Electric windshield didn't work.
    Paint drips under both mirrors.
    Some gloss paint under rubber trim on front cowl.
    A light scuff on both saddle bags.
    A scratch on left rear deck.
    Left engine case scratched down to bare metal.
    Brakes were squeaking and they were supposed to fix them.

    I had a detailed list before I got there. They know how I am and I was going to go over the bike inch by inch. They will get it right, I'm not worried about it at all. They have had it for 3 weeks already.
