Lamonster F3 Project "Triple Threat"

[Lamonster]

I'll be posting pics here so you can see the progress of the project. Right now it's at the painters for a week just so he can look at it and get some ideas on what we're going to do. I will say it's nothing like it was going to be and maybe that's a good thing.

[Bob Denman]

Any hints for us??
Are you going to go beyond a nice paint job with this project?
We heard folks talking about needing hitches and rear luggage racks...

[SPYD3R]

HOW ABOUT A TURBO....?

will you be modifying the engine in any way...?

You had to put that picture of the red and black RT in there didn't you.

[Bob Denman]

You saw that too?

MUST RESIST...

[Oldmanzues]

I have to ask, how long was your ride ? You did not appear to dressed for a long one with that "stuff" on the ground.

A red/black RT looks even better in person. Looked good in a showroom and I think it will look geat in sunlight.
Good luck with the F-3 project

You've got a while before Daytona Bike Week yet. I am sure you'll get it all together in plenty of time. It'll look awesome too!!

Me Too. I've already been told no on the M1 Scout.

[Wiredux]

I was there when the truck dropped it off. I have to tell you it is going to be a very cool project.

[ARtraveler]

Nice pictures. Thank you for posting them.

[Bob Denman]

Me Too. I've already been told no on the M1 Scout.

We NEVER get to play with the REALLY fun toys...

[Yazz]

Can't wait to see what happens next.

[Netminder]

Can't wait to see what you got planned!

I know it's going to change, but I sure do like that color! That's what I ordered, so it's nice to see it

Lamont,, have you played with the hitch issue at all ?? It looks as if the stock RT hitch could be made to work by modifying the top locating pads.. I doubt the outer measurement on the stock F3 Axle is different than the rt and it looks to be hollow as well / meaning it might accommodate the hitch bolt that goes though the axle...

[PrairieSpyder]

Thanks for the pics. I can't wait to see the progress.

Lamont, thanks for keeping us posted on the progression of the F3 project
I got a chance to see the new F3's last weekend at the Seattle International motorcycle show.
And i am very impressed with the entire evolution of this new model as far as I know there is no other manufacturer that offers the adjustability ( u-fit system ) of the new F-3. I love the new lower seat height as we all know the advantage that the lower center of gravity will have during cornering. I like the direction that they are going with less tupperware and showing off that amazing Rotax triple and the exposed tubular frame.
I was very upset to find out that BRP didn't offer the test rides like they did at other major cities I think they completely missed the boat by not offering the motorcyclist's of Seattle this opportunity there are a lot of people with money to spend on such toys I know the brand is well known in this area there are a lot of people around here that own Sea-Doo's and Ski-Doo's as well as boats with BRP's Evinrude boat motors as well as a lot of Spyder Ryders and growing.
BRP could have easily set up a closed course for the people that don't have a three wheel license that is required in Washington state.
And the people that have a three wheel/sidecar license which many of the older long time riders already have could have went for a little cruise.
I did get on a list with lifestyles to test drive an F3 in late January or February weather permitting.
I would love to have an F3 but already owning two Spyders and not willing to take a bath on a trade in I might have to wait a few years and rack up some miles on the fantastic machines that I presently have.

I don't think using the stock hitch is the way to go. I have a few idea that I'm pretty sure will work.

I'm going to keep my stock rt hitch and do some measuring first before I sell it .. I want to pull a 622 and if the stock hitch can be modified to work and be removed easily that will be my goal.. Looking forward to see what you come up with because I won't even see my Spyder till February.. Have a nice holiday n Thx for the reply 😎

Looks like you got the sm6 manual , do you like the manual vs the se6 semi auto? Also, from brp video I thought they gave you a black one, this one is white, why the change?

I noticed that too!!! I think Lamont returned the black one cause the rear tire had no tread left / Just a guess ��

[Lamonster]

The F3 was at the painters all last week getting a game plan together. I had some parts come in for the build and I got to tear it down a bit tonight. I'll be pulling parts for powder coating next.

Thanks for the x-rays...when does the cast go on..
