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. :doorag:

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

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...

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. :ohyea:

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. :doorag:

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 ��

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.

Honestly, at this point, I don't see why you didn't just ask BRP to ship you the loose parts so you could build UP your F3 from scratch-- sounds like it would have been easier than working in reverse! ;)

Is the disassembly of the front suspension related to a performance upgrade or is it for cosmetic reasons? I was thinking along lines of lowering or maybe some sort of tricked out suspension but it could be to just change the color scheme of the arms. I'm sure we'll find out when it's finished.

It seems that every bike these days gets a louder exhaust system. I've done the same thing when the stock mufflers are off to put a slip-on aftermarket muffler on. Just started it and rev it to hear the engine completely unbaffled. I never take them out on the road that way as it's sure to get me a ticket although a good many Harleys are out there running straight unbaffled pipes each and every day. I like to be able to hear my motor run but I don't go for the ringing in my ears or the headache that comes from riding a bike that's too loud. Been there-done that with HK Big Straights on a 2007 Yamaha Roadliner 1900.

It seems that every bike these days gets a louder exhaust system. I've done the same thing when the stock mufflers are off to put a slip-on aftermarket muffler on. Just started it and rev it to hear the engine completely unbaffled. I never take them out on the road that way as it's sure to get me a ticket although a good many Harleys are out there running straight unbaffled pipes each and every day. I like to be able to hear my motor run but I don't go for the ringing in my ears or the headache that comes from riding a bike that's too loud. Been there-done that with HK Big Straights on a 2007 Yamaha Roadliner 1900.

This is with a straight pipe and no muffler so it's way too loud right now. I'll be putting a Tailgunner on this bike.

I was going to make it adjustable but it put it too high for the look I wanted but it works out great and the angle it is now. I'm one of those guys that needs a gps to find my way home so this was a must have for me and I'm sure it will be for others too.

Hello,
New to Spyders this F3-S is my first. The manual didn't come with the unit so the dealer ordered one for me.
I have the one you started out with. My questions are very basic: How do you re-charge the battery on the F3-S? And can a CB/blue tooth/intercom
system be added to it? Are you planning to sell the gps mount that you made? I would be interested in getting one.
Thanks for your assistance.
Again your bike look great.:yes:

Curious with the nanny on the F3 if a hitch is fabricated. I have read that special programming has been done for the Spyders that have hitches as standard equipment. All this would not be the case of the F3.

This is what I've been told too but they also said the GS/RS had the same programing "no trailer" and I put over 50,000 miles on mine with a trailer pushing it as hard as you could push it with no ill affect.

Black base coat on..and laying out the ripped graphics for the first ever Custom painted F3 spyder in the country. Vintage plane theme under black paint. This Spyder is called "TRIPLE THREAT"
What you see that's black will be mostly silver with the artwork painted on top. The yellow will be black. The finish will not be typical and will go well with the theme.

Well the yellow is tape, it will be black with the black paint peeling off and a vintage plane under it.

I test rode an F3 today and my money would be on the F3 they are just plain FAST they just keep pulling like crazy in all gears the new larger sprocket and 1330 engine combo is very impressive!! and they hug the road like they are on tracks with the new lower center of gravity.

Job well done on the design of the F3 Lamont :clap:

IMHO I believe the F3 will outperform the RS overall. It'll be quicker through the twisties and the extended
power band and better torque delivery will allow the power out of a curve to be delivered with more authority.

It will also 'feel' faster! Sitting that much lower and closer to the road will give a huge impression of speed!!
Those who have driven a go-kart will understand that!

The biggest improvement in the SE version will be not having to keep the motor at at least 3800 rpm to prevent
the centrifugal clutch from slipping, a serious downside on the 998 motor which in UK driving conditions was
annoying at best.

UPDATE- I took down the Tailergunner video till I can work a little more on the pipe. It's not bad and the video didn't do it justice. This is a prototype pipe so there is some tweaking we can do to it for better sound.

Just got word from Mike Corbin that my seat will be shipping out next week and it looks like he'll have some F3 seats for sale in Daytona for bike week. :yes::2excited:

Lamonster you're obviously very busy right now but was wondering if there was any update on the trailer hitch for the F3. I am currently holding off buying a trailer to see if we'll have a hitch available for my spring trip. Thx

You hit it out of the park with that paint job!! Can't wait to see the finished project as I'm sure it will be awesome. Once this F3 is shown at Daytona I'm also sure it will inspire others to customize their own. I expect this model to sell like hotcakes and the aftermarket will follow with all the usual bling & farkle stuff. I even think a wide tire kit for the back wheel might look hot although I'm not sure about support bearings etc needed to offset the final drive sprocket on the transmission. Regardless I'm sure there will be billet wheels for low profile tires and a ton of custom stuff in a year or two. You're an inspiration.

The hitch is in the works but needs some real world testing, when I'm happy with it I'll have it available on www.ShopSpyderLovers.com along with any other part we produce for the F3. This stuff takes time.

I like the World War II or Vietnam Era warplane look with the rusty rivets etc. The crotch rocket "kills" add to that effect, the Tailgunner rotary cannon exhaust even moreso. Some fake .50 caliber machine gun barrels sticking out the front grill opening on each side would even add more to that. I'm even wondering about a couple of fake gravity bombs hanging where the saddlebags would normally go. They might even function as small storage compartments, who knows?? This custom F3 you've created has my mind busy conjuring ideas like these.

. . . . I think it was in 2010, some guy mounted a mock-up of a Gatling gun or rocket launcher on his Spyder, with all the stylistic trimmings. That was before carrying concealed became trendy.

Have you replaced the rear bulbs with LED bulbs? Have you come up with a whole new LED brake light module? Anyone know the bulb type? I'm figuring an 1157 bulb.
