    Default F3s Centre of mass

    Does anybody know the centre of mass or pivot point on the F3s?
    I store my Spyder on a lift above my car and would like to get the WEIGHT centred on the lift rather than just getting it in the middle by measuring. The weight is obviously going to be biased towards the front but where?
    Any thoughts appreciated . Thanks

    If nothing else a floor jack at different points underneath the frame with a 4" square block of wood on it's top should allow you to find it pretty close. I would guess from lifting my F3S that it would be just about directly down from somewhere between where the seat starts and the back of the fill hole of the gas tank. That is only about a 12" gap.

    I think I have ...... the pivot point is obviously forward compared to the centre of the Spyder so I have moved it back by 6 or 7 inches on the lift to get the weight more central to the lift and that is about as far as I can go due to the height restrictions. I'm sure it is fine as the lift is capable of taking 2000lbs so I have plenty of power there and the weight is better spread now, thanks again Doc
