DAMN; that's a fine-looking bike! :2thumbs:
Anyway; the Missus got done at her quilting store, and came looking for me. :shocked:
Quick as a fox; Aaron (The Spyder Technician) and I took the F3 that was set up with the U-fit system, and configured it to fit her... (Short arms and legs: she's built like a second-base bag with boobs! :roflblack:)
She climbed on it, AND IT FIT her like a dang glove! :yes::yes::yes:
She eventually climbed off of it, and sat on the Limited, and got the biggest grin on her face... :D

...And the wheels were definitely spinning!

She thought that the amount of storage would be "adequate" for her needs... and she'd always have me and the RT along for any serious shopping episodes anyway. :D

Antenna and real chrome = LTD. I believe the T does not come with a radio therefore no antenna.

Bob, for what it's worth, Chris is going through a similar issue. You can't build an F3-t online with pegs. Not sue if brochures and website are wrong, or what. Seems like a big deal that Can Am would want to clarify or fix asap. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be upset when there spyders start showing up without floorboards as they wanted.....

She did like your bike, and we got to talkin' about it... ;)

The floorboards are REALLY easy to add to the bike... Due to the U-fit system; it's all adjustable, and removable! :thumbup:
She's got to think about this A LOT! But at least she hasn't dismissed it yet!

BRP says it is a "glitch" in website when you build the bike. They are sending my dealer the footboards and dealer will install them. Not sure how much longer the "glitch" will be there. But I do appreciate them acknowledging that I wasn't going crazy.

I almost feel bad for BRP, they are going to have a lot of people calling them looking for their Footboards...I said almost :popcorn:

She'd have to get her license (No Big Deal...), and I'd have to upgrade our helmet to helmet communications.

Bob, I'm seriously considering a F3Tat Pitbull's this month. If I do, I'm definitely getting floorboards. I asked Len if I could also get pegs mounted forward of the floorboard/brake to use as highway pegs, but he said no can do. Not sure why.

I heard someone speak of a F3TS, which I think is an F3T with stereo, etc.

Maybe Kathy should fly to SF and she can ride her F3 home with you.

One of the things that amazes me about this bike is the windshield. Even though I sit slightly above the top, I have almost no wind in my face due to the design. I answered a call on my Sena with the face shield up on my helmet, and my wife said she could not hear any wind. I was going about 55 mph at the time. I can't think of any factory accessories I want to replace. This bike is almost perfect stock.

Jack may be right after all. "I was only wrong once in my life. I thought I was wrong but actually it turned out I was Right." :sour:

The ones sitting on the floor here look the same with different equipment. One is an F3-T for sure and the other I believe to be the limited.

The website still shows the driver floor boards are included. That is what it showed a couple weeks ago. Also every dealer I went to had them installed at no extra charge. :dontknow:

I am riding to a fourth dealer on Saturday. I will see if they have them included also. By the way lots of Spyder dealers here, 8 of them within a 2 hour ride, the closest one is 15 minutes away.
