Spyder Covers
I just bought a new 2017 Spyder f3t. It is 19 degrees here in Colorado so it was a cold 25 miles home. Regardless it was a blast my first real ride on a Spyder and it was so much fun. I learned a lot reading through the threads here which kept me from really gripping the handle bars hard and trusting the bike. I still need to trust the cornering I just don't have the feel for it yet and don't know what the bike can and can not do. But all that will com in time. Unfortunately I got it home just before the snow starts flying and had to go right back to work I'm bummed!!
My question is, I want to get a cover for my new baby. I have seen the ultraguard covers for around $80 and the Can-Am covers are over $200. Is there a real big difference between the 2 or are you paying for the name on the Can-am cover?
Love the community here at Spyder Lovers and i have already learned a lot before i even purchased the bike. Thank you all for that.

Not sure....
I have the Nelson Riggs cover and the only difference I see is the name on the cover. Well colors vary as well. But you can check the specs on them for the materials used...

Cover your needs
I suggest you get what best addresses your needs such as outdoors, garage, sun, rain, dust, snow (God forbid), etc. I also suggest you consider if you need a full or partial cover. The BRP product is fine, but so are many others.
In my case I have the expensive BRP full RT cover which I NEVER use because I use my quick on and off top-half cover. My top cover is also so easy to pack when I travel.

I have
the Ultra guard full cover for when I put it away for the winter. I use the Ultra guard half cover when I am on the road. Both work well for my needs .

As will be parked in the garage. I was thinking that would need a full and a partial. Full for winter storage and partial for parking and going into eat ect. Thank you all for your reply. I’m just beside myself at the moment, I can’t believe I actually went out and bought a SpYder I have wanted one for so long. Then it has to snow👎 Just my luck. So now it sits in my garage and I’m reading all I can about it like I did before I bought it. Come on spring already haha!!

I had the cam-am full cover for my first bike. It worked ok. For my second bike I decided on an ultraguard half cover. It was less expensive, and I felt I could use if on hot days in the summer when I park outside to keep the sun off. Also, I felt it was better for winter storage when I need to make sure mice don’t sneak under it and make a nest. (Mice did get under the full cover without me noticing)

Oh dang, hope they didn’t destroy anything filthy mice. Have any of you figured out a trick to turn off the blinker after changeing lanes. I struggled with that, I kept switching it from left to right. Maybe I will just get the feel of it or am I missing something? Thank you for your reply. I’m leaning toward the ultra guard cover. Save the extra for accessories or something.

I bought an after-market full cover for $80. Turn off the turning signals by pressing in on the button. PS: that is the turning switch.

F3T Cover
I have a 2016 F3T with the BRP Top Case and I have the F4 23” windshield on it! Anybody know of a half cover that would fit?
-
I prefer the BRP covers for my RT. They fit like a glove!
Pricier: yes! But the fit makes it worthwhile!

Congrats!
Nice looking Spyder! Welcome to "Miles of Smiles". I have the Ultraguard for my RT, no problems.

and on your new ryde.
A cover is a cover is a cover. If you can find one that fits well for $80, there is no reason to spend $200.
My two 's also sit in a garage for winter storage. Have never put a cover on them. I have an unused cover from my two wheel only days, and it still sits on the shelf.
Give it a couple months and see what you are thinking then.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
