I am looking at these as well.  A guy on another forum put on a set of mufflers off a 2016 Goldwing to make sure that there are no clearance issues and there were none.  The muffler hanger is about 8" further back, though, so a bracket will have to be made.  The Goldwing muffler looks like it sticks past the back tire about 12".  I have asked a couple of dealers to measure the TBR pipes, but no one has gotten back to me.

Update
A dealer just got back to me and said that the overall length of the pipes are 33".  That means that they will stick out @ 5" past the rear fender.  I am not sure how that would look.  

Second update:
I went and measured the length of the Goldwing OEM pipes and they stick past the rear fender by 3".  They are 29" long from the back of the heat shield to the end of the pipe.  I imagine that the TBR pipes are pretty close to that length.  For myself, that length is not an issue since I have saddlebags.  I will think on it and I may just get a set this winter.  I guess I could always sell them if they don't look right.

  That sucks. I was ready to get them. Lets all email TB and see if they will make them for ours. Are the f6b's the very same as a full Goldwing? I'll measure as well next time at the dealer

Generally speaking, 5" past the rear fender means they will drag leaving aprons and driveways, especially in a lean.  Unless you remember to depart all aprons like you are carrying nitro.

Emailing the manufacturer, encouraging them to "build some" for the F6C will likely not get results.

Money talks!  So, for example, if 10 members of the forum were serious about purchasing a pair, and if the 10 went together on a "group buy," the manufacturer might be willing to build 10 sets that fit the F6C without modifications.  But, each person buying a set would have to be willing to send in a deposit (perhaps up to 25% of the total cost for a set).  And each buyer would have to agree to the payment terms offered to the group by the manufacturer.  If a buyer didn't make final payment exactly on time the manufacturer might keep the person's deposit and sell the set to the next person who asks.

Money talks to manufacturers.  Group buys sometimes make it worth a manufacturer's time to do a custom run.

Or the manufacturer may say, "Meh....don't think so."  But you never know until you ask.

My two cents.

Oops!  Just read the other thread.  Sorry!

That sounds fair to me. I'm in! $575.00 is the cost of the longer Goldwing versions

That sounds fair to me. I'm in! ....[snip]

The group buys I have done were all related to electronics equipment and/or components.  I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here, but one person has to act as the "organizer and spokesperson."  It works best to start a thread entitled "Group Buy Of {insert product name}."  People who are truly interested can express their interest in posts on the thread.  And then one member of the thread can be elected or assume the role as organizer.  Once there is a firm commitment from enough people (more than 5) the organizer can then communicate with the manufacturer ("we've got 11 people who have committed their money for....") and see if they will make the products and at what cost/terms. The organizer can then report back, and collection/transmission of deposits can be done/facilitated via PM/email/paypal, or direct payment to the manufacturer via credit card.  Don't post personal information in the thread.  DO let the manufacturer know the payment is part of the XYZ Group Buy or whatever label they want you to use.

These things can work.  But it really takes more than a quantity of five to get the manufacturer's interest (in my experience).

Personally, I have enough going on with the fairing.  My mufflers will probably stay stock for the foreseeable future.

Good luck!
