F3 Top Case with Arm Rests

[Tango]

Finally got the top case and arm rests mounted by dealer. Did a great job. Tom

did you order it with the black lid. i thought they were all red. it looks great

[Highwayman2013]

I think the ones you add are black lids and on the 2017 Limited they are color matched.

You are correct, I also added mine

[Tango]

That's correct. All the add ons are black on top. And it's a really sparkling black at that. Tom

well if you wanted them to match, during the winter you can pull the lid off, and have someone paint it for you. i am sure it won't cost much.

Just took delivery of our new 2017 F3 Ltd. I kind of expected that it would come with top case in red, but no - it's black on top, but has red sides. I was going to ask the dealer about this, as I was sure the pics I had seen showed red bikes with top cases that were also red on top. Before I did so, I stood back from the F3 for a few moments and asked my self which I would really prefer - black top or red top, and whether I should make an issue if it. In the end, I simply decided the black top looked better, and had a nicer flow (look) to it, fitting in with the black seats and all. So, seems like some new red F3 Ltd.'s come with top cases with black tops and not red. Here's the pic of mine. However, it does seem that white 2017 F3L's at least are white all over; other colors, not sure.20170607_141737_002.jpg

Looks great, Tom

!!!!!! I know you take great pride in your DIY skills. Just think you were smart to let your trusty dealer to get the job done. Probably saved your self a lot of frustration. How do those rear speakers sound???

There was an issue with the pearl red paint in 2017 and so they used the black on top instead. It's why the 2016's are all red and the 2017's are not. Its also why the white ones are still all white. This would explain why all the red add on cases for the 2016's are black on top, they're probably taken from 2017 inventory.
urs matches perfectly. Id def prefer it that way. Looks great.

Being surrounded by sound again is great! And the speakers are a nice quality. The dealer tech called at 11am and was apprehensive at first when he saw all he had to do. They had never done one before. He called again at 4pm they were all done. Including servicing the Spyder. He said once they started it all made sense and everything fit perfectly. He was impressed by it all. Tom
