Took the Plunge!

[acpd22]

Well, I said "Here goes nothing" and proceeded to jump head first into the Farkle pond. Ordered a factory driver backrest which should be in later today and also got the Madstad 26" light grey windshield for my F3 Limited. I went on a ride both Friday and Saturday and noticed the buffeting I was still getting from my modified Goldwing windshield that put on to replace the factory one. My last 3 bikes have had a driver's backrest, why let this one go without.

You have entered dangerous waters.... but rewarding nonetheless...

Farkling is more fun than buying the Spyder in MHO.

Hi Acpd22,
This is Jerry with MadStad. I have noticed that you have ordered a 26" screen for your Spyder. I am just wondering as to why you went with such a large screen. If you wouldn't mind could you tell me your height and pants inseam. I just want to make sure that you have purchased the correct size screen for yourself. Please keep in mind that just one of the perks of having the MadStad is that we have designed it for the rider to look over the screen and not through it. Unless you are really tall I feel that the 26" screen may not work for you as we have designed it. Screens this tall are designed for riders 6'8" and taller.

.....unless your name is Bob Denman! In that case it is a dangerous pastime which can seriously affect
your health and probably your remaining time on the planet!!

CruzR Joe has to reward (bribe) his spouse with granite counter tops!LOL

If you didn't get the newer backrest that is adjustable, you can order the add on part but it is TREMENDOUSLY better with that ability to adjust it... I know... I just got one a month ago and had dealer order the one with adjustability. Same price if ordered with it.

I bought my backrest in May 2016 and it was the adjustable one - I don't think the F3 one was ever non-adjustable. I seem to remember the RT one was originally fixed and then replaced with the adjustable one and there was an upgrade kit.

I've found the BRP backrest to be excellent and I would go as far to say it was worth the money for the OEM look. Riding without a windscreen the backrest helps stop it feeling like the wind is pushing me off the bike. Especiially at higher speeds............
