Smooth Spyder F3 backrest

[blacklightning]

I would just like to see if someone has the smooth spyder F3 Backrest on their F3T. The website says that it will work on both the F3 and F3T, but I just would like to see a picture and get some first hand knowledge of how you like it, and how it looks.

Thanks,

My wife has the Smooth Spyder backrest on her F3-T. She really likes it. I like the functionality of it.

Keith,

I obviously don't have an F-3; however I have owned and loved my smooth spyder back rest. Hated to have to sell it but wouldn't work with my RDL seat because of the wings on the seat. I do miss having it. Buy it, you'll like it and wonder how you ever did without one.

Thanks for the info. I got one on the way from Godlover. Funny thing is, the backrest will possibly be here before the bike arrives. Hopefully they will be here at the same time.

I have a smooth spyder backrest and my passenger and I loves it.

On the new bike and you can't go wrong that backrest. Love mine!

Well, I installed my smooth spyder backrest that I got from Godlover (thanks again), and had a chance to test it out on a charity ride for Pediatric brain tumors. Over 317 bikes, raising over $100,000, and I was the only F3 based bike in the bunch.
One question about the backrest, Will it work with the rear luggage rack? I ask, because it seems that with having to use the longer screws, it would place the head even further out. This might contact the closed lid on the F3T style bikes. Without the saddle bags, this would not be a problem, but with them, I think they would stick out too far.

Ah if only this was detacheable. It would be the perfect backrest and i would own one lol. I love how it can be two different things. Genius.

I agree, it would be nice if it was quick release. But 95% of the time, I keep it in the forward position for a drivers backrest. It is nice having it readily available for those rare times that I can get the wife to ride.
