Is this the first F3s with a gauge spoiler in the wild?

I also opted for the gauge spoiler on the same color bike as well as the Akrapovic slip-on, and the aux lights, picking it up tomorrow! Congratulations on a great looking ride!

My Can-Am Red F3-S came in and I'm doing the paperwork Saturday and picking it up Wednesday. I also ordered the Akrapovic silencer, aux lights, passenger/driver backrests, driver floorboard and Blue Ridge windshield. The dealer said everything is on back order until March/April except for the windshield which they will install. Are you getting your accessories when you pick up your bike?

Congrats!

i would appreciate it if both of you could report back on the windscreens. How tall are you, where does the win hit you (if at all) at speed, say 45mph, 60mph? I'm attempting to decide which to order and would like some live feedback. Did I say congrats!

It looks to me like the Guage Spoiler is barely a chest level windscreen. To each his own as tastes vary. I'd have to sit on one with the Blue Ridge which is more wind protection up in the upper body, neck & face. Being as I'm six feet tall that one might even be a little on the short side.

most of mine are also on backorder, though the aux lights did come in.

I'll let you know about the Gauge Spoiler soon. I ordered it because it will provide SOME wind deflection and makes the spyder look more complete in that area, but I've never been a windshield fan. I am many years older than the days when I hated windshields and removed them, so only time will tell how I feel these days. It's possible that I'll end up ordering one for highway driving and put it on and take it off as needed.

Congrats! I was not a fan of the F3, but they are really starting to grow on me. It looks to me like that gauge cluster spoiler should have been a part of the original oem equipment.

I too was not a fan when I first saw the photos. It looks way better in person.

I agree that the spoiler should have been included but then again Can-Am is almost as an expensive hobby as HD.

If HD = hundred dollars maybe CA = checking account.

I'm 5' 8". Can't wait to sit on it tomorrow. It will be raining hard this weekend here so I'm going to pick it up on Wednesday. May I add that the F3 looks VERY different in person vs in photos. Can't explain why and how but it's odd/?ugly looking in photos but it is absolutely amazing in person! Can't wait to break her in!

The spoiler will be installed, but the lights and pipe will be delivered in late March to my dealer for install.

Frunk can fit a long sleeve riding jacket, shades, Sena unit, gloves and Bell Rogue muzzle. But the exciting thing is that you can strap your helmet under the passenger seat:

Hmmm I must be doing something wrong. I got my bell/Sena helmet in once and can't get it to fit again. All I can get in the Frunk is my coat. It's the only thing I don't like about her.

I have always loved my Lidlox helmet lock -- not as good as the trunk on a rainy day, but I guess I'll just carry it on those days. I can't get my Shoei helmet in my frunk either.

Have 2 sets of Lidlox, just haven't used them yet. Raining today, and the frunk is too small.

Unfortunately us guys with big heads need big helmets and that's why ours won't fit. At least my full face anyhow, but my half helmet should go in there no problem.
