That include my new F6B deluxe I rode it home from the dealership like a Wildman with his azz on fire.
    Hit 100 mph on the way home from the dealership. Took it easy the first five miles. It was congested city traffic. Dealer didn't say anything about a breakin period.

    Hmmm.. I don't use a key fob for my bike; however your above remark now gives me pause.

    I like the BACA ignition key setup.....reason why ? After putting the first 16,000 miles on my F6, I will guarantee you if you have a clear windshield on your bike, the chrome ring around the ignition will reflect and glare when the sun is at your back side.....

    The BACA key with the black plastic flange will cover the chrome ignition ring and prevent that annoysome glare.....also another hint.....any chrome key ring attached to your ignition key will cause the same bothersome reflection on the backside of a clear windshield....

    I have used a permanent marker to coat the chrome ring around the ignition switch face and my key chain is made of black velcro for zero reflection and zero scratching when the key is in the igniton

    Just saying from experience...hoping it might help...Shaker

    My eldest got this for me many years ago and have used it as my motorcycle keychain ever since.

    My break in period was a 350 mile ride home on I-95

    Need I elaborate? btw---all of the key chains I have used just flop around so I go "chainless"

    Cool! Bunch of cool ideas. My lucky key chain from my 1st bike is gone. Bummed about that one. I think I found a cook paracord one I am going to order. Just need something to add a little more size so I can see the key in the key drawer!
