My Corbin seat prevents me from removing the side covers without first removing the seat. Ughh. Problem solvedOriginally Posted by GaTeach
Yes! This! If you take it all the way up, you'll gain some clearance. Just remember to take it back down when you leave the mountains!

"Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up"
I ride fairly aggressively and generally didn't scrape with the stock suspension. I had my preload set at the mid way point. With the Traxxion suspension the only time I've scraped was with my new Ergo-3 highway pegs...I hit a corner a little fast with my feet on the pegsyou should be good.
I just joined the forum and have had my F6B for one week. Two friends and I
are planning a grand trip next summer (4000 miles), starting in Denver. I may contact you to get suggestions about riding in the mountains out there (riding the passes; clothing suggestions given the altitude and temp changes, etc). Love the "B".
I assume your bike is garaged for the winter; here in Florida we are just getting started. LOL

Wait, those are foot pegs and not lean angle indicators?I did this to keep the wear down on my pegsRead this thread:

If you swap between a Harley and the F6B you will find that the Honda
seems more adept at the turns.
It will make most anyone a wannabee cafe racer~!
The HD -is a constant heavy counter steer.
Under hard turns, one has to pick the line .
The Honda just leans over and goes.
No complaints.
However the F6 has rear steer wiggle and my Road King has none (cause I have worked it over)
But I am truly surprised that the F6 will respond to tar snakes, grooves in road and the like.
Something I am not used to.
This past summer a good friend of mine and I were on the third day of a little road trip trough back roads and twistier sections of roads I could find. He rides a 16 Ultra. We had just spent the night in Georgia and was taking War Woman Road to 28 and heading north. Anyone who knows, this is a pretty entertaining road. We are linked up through Sena headsets and he was commenting how tiring and cumbersome his bike was in this section of our trip. The F6B with it's low center of gravity just eats this stuff up.

As for me and my VERY old EVO Road King which is 180 deg from the F6.
Now for "Something completely different" said Monty Pythion-
One is in touch and keeps your hair on fire if the envelope gets thin.
I think the danger for me, the F6 and I may be in deeper then i should be and not even know it!
I look at the speedo and say OH CRAP!
But- it just wheels through it much like watching a video.
No complaints.
The bike is much like riding with a huge shot of Novocain in me.
I do not feel anything.
But i do like it.
When I am with a group of like minded individuals , all I can say is nothing , nothing is more exciting than 2-4 bikes carving up some twisty roads in sync. I guarantee I am feeling a lot.

Here in Colorado, you do not have to park your bike for the winter. Its been over 70 degrees a few days last week. There are times where you might not be able to ride for a month, but usually you can get lucky with some sunny days.

These bikes ride great in the twisties. I spend 7 months a year living in the Smoky Mtns. a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. My F6B handles great. I do have a Super Brace on the front forks and also have changed the front neck bearings to tapered ones due to my being gravitationally challenged to the point of about 270 lbs. If someone tells you they do not handle check out this video of a Wing on the Dragon.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxHNnOHuikI
