    Built for comfort, not for speed. I was at 8-9 with the stock seat. When I went to the harder Mustang seat, so my guess is I'm in the 4-6 range. Again, I fully admit this is a comfort setting -- not a performance one. I ride solo only and go near 300lbs.

    Seems a good compromise still corners good without that
    spongy feeling and soaks up our bumps which can be like
    small creators around here.

    (FYI the rum is very tasty)

    Technical question:is there any difference in these OP bottles, besides the label?

    Factory settings

    What does the factory set the new ones at? I have no clue where my 2015 Deluxe is set. It seems a little stiff over bumps, but handles well in the curves.

    Mine was on "max-comfy" when I got it.

    No just the label. Try Bundy Red label a lower alcohol but a smoother smoky flavour abit
    like Jack Daniels , who by the way is much loved here too.

    Thanks! I'll see what the availability of Bundy Red is...

    Oh yeah.....my rear suspension is currently set at 18 clicks above "goose-down-pillow."

    I am told it is set at 0 clicks for maximum comfort by the factory...I, like you have no clue where mine is set as I have not looked at the adjuster as yet..Seems a little stiff as you said over bumps, but otherwise seems to be okay..I don't ride any with any luggage or passengers , just my fat butt..(about 195/200 lbs.) and it works okay for me, I think....

    Well not too fat, I tip the scale at 242 last I checked and it still rides a little on the stiff side but like I said, I like the way it handles curves, its 10 times better than my M109R boulevard was and I thought that bike handled well. Little did I know, when I got the 6 I was just blown away by just how nice it handles even hard cornering it just does it without whimpering. I'm loving it, the best handling bike I've had in 34 years since my 1980 750 Honda, that bike did corners exceptionally well.

    I agree the F6B is a great handling motorcycle and is right up front with all that I have had over the years...The front suspension is a little "harsh" over heavy bumps, but not an issue for me....In all due respect although, I will have to say the best handling bike I had was my 2011 Victory Vision Tour...but, all around handling, power, smoothness, etc..the F6B is hard to beat.....Ride safe
