I only have 130,000 miles on my bike but a price like that is tempting.

Got a updated pic ?   I have yet to see one rollin' down the road other than the one at InZane that went on one of our day rides with us. I've only seen a couple F6B's on the road.... Not a good sign IMO .

No new pics... it still just looks like a new Valkyrie with a Corbin seat and big handlebars.

I scooted the windshield up one inch higher... I can still see over it, and there's a lot
less roaring sound where the wind hits the very top of my helmet... it is surprising
how still it is right behind that little windshield. The next picture worth posting will
be if I manage to mount the OEM windshield back on there at fork angle.

What's not a good sign is that there's probably not many people stubborn enough
to do what I did to make the thing comfortable... it is closing in on being as
comfortable as my Red and White now...  cooldude That makes its other good
attributes shine through...

Mike...I have to ask.  Why didn't you just spring for a new F6B instead? 

There's not that much of a difference in price, and the F6B already comes with the all of comfy stuff installed.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I went down and rode one right away. I don't like the wrap around dashboard, the fairing,
the unitized rear end, and it has goofy handlebars too.



I liked the new Valkyrie right off.



I didn't know getting different handlebars would be more complicated
than The Manhattan Project.

2 grand off msrp is not that much,  I'll still keep waiting until it reaches 9999.99  2funny

Last year I sat on both f6B and new Valk.  To each their own, but the F6B just fit me in both stock handlebar and seating position much better at not much more cost.

I would really be interested to see what (if any) additional options/models that mother Honda may present in the next few models....
Right now, it's not very appealing to me.
I still love my 2000 I/S.  cooldude

Joe I look at it the same way I did my Valkyrie. They didn't sell all that well either and I really didn't/don't care. I have a bike I like and I could care less if anyone else likes it. The good thing about the F6B platform from my perspective is that because it is on a wing platform accessories are going to be available for a while.
