    Default Can-Am F3 Drivers backrest?

    Looking at getting a drivers backrest for my F3. Does the Can-Am drivers backrest tip all the way forward to ease access for the passenger getting on? If not, how does the passenger get on?

    You will love the F3. I have the BRP driver backrest and it does tilt forward, I don't know if I would say all the way. I would recommend looking at the smoothspyder backrest, smoothspyder.com. I think that I would prefer this one if I had to buy again.
    I am sure others will give you their 2 cents worth soon.

    I do love it!
    I've considered the Smoothspyder backrest, but I'm thinking I want a backrest when my wife and I ride together also.

    The BRP driver back rest does tilt forward and its also adjustable. I've been pretty happy with it.

    So, it tips forward so the passenger can get on like the RT drivers backrest does?
    Sorry if I'm questioning, the pictures and info don't show it. I just want to make sure before I buy one.

    Thanks!

    I have the BRP F3 driver's backrest and it tips forward exactly like the RT (which I also owned).

    Thankfully the BRP backrests were back ordered when we took delivery of our F3. I ran into Jim (smoothspyder) at Bike Week in Daytona and had a chance to see his backrest. Love it. Easily adjustable for driver or passenger if riding two up.
