Thanks for the well wishes and I will post pics soon. I've put 300 miles on the F6B and so far it's a hoot. Prior to the C14 I owned a 2008 Street Glide and I use that as my comparison for the Honda.
Pros:
Great handling for a large bike
Very comfortable stock seat for both rider and passenger
Tons of torque
Fantastic frame and predictability in corners
Good riding position (I am 5'11'' 32 inch inseam)
Supports both cruising and a bit of hooligan style riding
Great side mirrors
Analog gauges
Bullet proof power plant and drive train
Out performs many other baggers
Decent OTD price
No Kipass!
Cons:
Stock backrest is too low
Neutral can be a tad elusive at times
No cruise control
Grips are too small in diameter for my likes
Need a key to open saddle bags
LCD display is outdated
Dosn't like cold engine operation (hesitation when motor is cold)
They left too much chrome accent on black bike - went 95% of the way
Mileage is a tad low
6th gear would be nice
The wife's initial impression was very positive. She did have concerns with the speed the C14 was capable of and I reached most every ride ( thou shall not go 120 today).
I have ordered a few farkles including hiway pegs, grip puppies, go cruise cruise control, and a back rest riser. I will ponder an aftermarket windscreen and slip ons.
Suggested break in and service interval is impressive. 4 K till first oil change and every 8 K after that. Sorry, couldn't help starting and oil change debate
.
Lastly, I enjoy the perplexed looks I get from many onlookers.......
