    Default ufit

    hey Spyder folks page 55 of 2015 RIDING GEAR ACCESSORIES GENUINE PARTS
    catalog has the facts and prices on the Handlebars & linkages and anything other than the stock pegs and bars comes with a added cost as they say the devil is in
    the details. Hats off to the Dealers that are incluiding the ufit in with the deal
    these parts are pretty inexpensive 29.99 for the F3s brake rod and 49.99 for the shifter rod are any of the dealers throwing in different Handelbars that is part of the ufit system ?
    just the facts man just the facts

    As I said, during the CanAm demo rides, they tell you the initial fit is included in the price of the bike. The rods in the catalog are for second owners or refits for different riders.

    Any dealer charging extra for the initial fit is just tying one more new way of getting in the pocket of the uninformed buyer.

    I'm 6-1, used to be 6-2. Went to position 5 and honestly could still be an inch further forward, but much more comfortable than original position. I asked by dealer about the "u-fit" system that supposedly every dealer has. I was told, "Yeh, we have one around here somewhere". WTH?

    I'm 6'2" and position 5 is perfect for me....I have the driver floorboards with the Manual transmission as well. Sadly, I had to purchase the extensions but heck, they aren't expensive.

    I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. Position 5 is great. I have the "attitude" bars. They really make a huge difference. Your wrists are turned out more. Very comfortable. Very easy to install. I paid for my fitting parts. (If anyone needs stock bars and linkages for cheap let me know!)

    MY DEALER DIDN'T ONLY 'FIT ME' WITH THE PROPER LENGTH BRAKE ROD, BUT THEY ALSO LET ME KEEP THE ROD THAT FITS AT THE MIDDLE POSITION...
    I TOO AM 6 FEET TALL, AND THE MOST FORWARD POSITION FITS ME VERY WELL....

    Yes. Started with position 5 and I am just on the south side of 6'.

    My dealer ordered the "5" brake rod for me so I could ride their demo. I'm hoping when I buy mine they will move it over to the new one and not charge me. We'll see.

    Hi.

    I'm 6' 2" tall and have the pegs set at position 5 but find the standard handlebars a little uncomfortable when 2 up. I've looked at the Can Am website and for this position it suggests either bars C or D.

    Does anyone have these bars and what is the difference?

    Thanks

    You probably want the "long reach" or "attitude" bars. I have the "attitude" bars and they make a huge difference. The "attitude" bars position your wrists at a more comfortable angle, too.

    I'm 5' 6.5" and I have the attitude bars. I find the angle better on my wrists/arms than the stock bars.

    After a week I finally gave up on my dealer ever getting the longer rod so I called around and found a dealer with all sizes in stock and every color of F3-S on the floor. They installed the rod so I could test ride it but did charge me for it when I bought the the trike. After waiting a week I didn't care, I just wanted to ride.
