    Default F3T Topcase Extender

    I put a BRP Topcase on when I bought my 2016 F3T and my dealer never told me it would move the passenger forward. I see SpyderPops is selling an extender to move the Topcase back 4-5 inches. My question is how are is it to install? I’m not real gifted with the wrenches!🤨

    Read the instructions a few times and follow the pictures and it isn't bad. I'm wrench challenged also. An extra set of eyes helped too.

    If you follow the directions carefully, it is fairly easy to install, no major tools or knowledge is needed. My wife loves it, she now has an additional 4+ inches of room

    That wasn't my point. Since I don't have an F3T I wasn't familiar with what you were posting about, so I posted the link to save others the trouble of searching around to see what you were referencing.

    My wife really loves it, she said it not only gave her the room she wanted but a much more comfortable ride.

    I would think you will need to rework the seat. You will be sitting on the back hump of the seat.

    I had same question and requested a copy of the installation instructions from SpiderPops. They promptly emailed me full color instructions. I have not yet purchased it looks very straightforward.

    Joe, it certainly looks from the photos as though the passenger, when moving back on the seat to take advantage of the extra space, would have to sit on the raised lip of the seat and the insert. Are you saying that the passenger sits in the same position as originally, but the trunk extension simply allows them to lean back further?

    also, with the top extender are you still able to put passenger armrest on the F3 Limited?

    That's it exactly. I sat on Joe's passenger seat and you'd never know there was an extension on the seat.

    Ahhhh. Thanks Copperman. I was hoping that the passenger would be sitting further back on the seat (i.e. where the lip currently is), because my Daylong seat has taken away 1.5” from her seat length. Maybe I can get Daylong to mod her seat to be fully flat, as the extended back pad will hold her in place.

    I have the trunk extender on my 18 F3L and my wife sits all the way back on the lip and the pad. You cannot even feel the lip it is so soft. She loves the extra room.
