Been thinking about doing the same thing. What's your opinion (pros & cons) between the two. Thanks WayneQuote:

The stock seat itself is about the same for long rides, I will still need my Airhawk.Quote:

The feeling is much more "out there" without the big front dash of the RT, and there is significantly more wind in the face for me with the stock windshield. I will probably have to buy a taller one in the future.
Overall I am very glad i did it. This bike is much more fun, and I think I will be happy with it for a long time! Can't wait to try her out on some twisties!

Congrats! The F3's are a lot of fun and very comfortable after you get the
ufit system to fit you. Enjoy and ride safe.

Some more thoughts I didn't mention above. The engine seems to run much smoother than the 2 cylinder. And the gas mileage! Probably a combination of the larger gas tank (?) and the engine, but I got twice as far on a tank as I did with the RT. Good thing since there's almost no gas to be found in San Antonio.
Hi if you end up trading your rts in are you going to the stock windshield back on let me know if you consider selling your 28 plus 3 f4 custom windshield thanks RudyBQuote:

Now that I have a year in the saddle on my RT I want to do a nice long test ride on an F3L to compare. I hate the thoughts of starting all over again with the farkling but I'm in no hurry.
Ok thanks let me know if you decide to sell your windshield ThanksQuote:
