From Connecticut, Happy Thanksgiving!
In the event of a dismount you may be sliding for a bit, friction is going to come into play.
In addition to what the others have said the hard shell components help there as well.
Monk, Home Depot (and many others) sells an in-line 4" valve to prevent outside air coming in.
How about placing it in-line just beyond your dryer but before the Y.
When the other units dryer...

Nice pics! Must have been exciting seeing the country like that.
Something about the last photo caught my eye. It took me a while then it hit me that it looks like an old-time postcard photo. ...
Check our HeliBars
I have them installed and like them a lot.
A bit pricey but darn near infinite adjustment. If you're not sure of how they're set just try out a new position.
Took just a few...
Mulching is a time honored tradition
It is physics that heat moves to cold. This is accelerated with cold air flowing around your warm body and pulling the heat away.
Cut the wind factor down and you'll stay warmer longer.

This is how I describe it
I upgraded the stock headlights with led replacements, GTR Ultra 2.0 to be exact.
While the rubber cup/boot/dust shield will fit on the new units I couldn't get the wire retainer clip to go around...
MZ,
Welcome, I'm new as well.
I'm 64 and made the transition in September. I love it and I'm on the path to far exceeding my average two wheeled milage.

Look closely, definitely an F3
MTV,
My F3S is relatively new, just 500 miles on it.
After adding a tender connection, adjustable HeliBars and a windshield, I'm adding lights.

My darling wife named it "Boris".

With real estate being tight I'm considering WAGO terminal blocks.
They have a newer style. Anyone have experience with these?

RICZ, thanks for showing your solution. I thought about that a well
As I gather up various accessories for my F3S I'm looking to install both at 12v bus bar and a negative terminal block.
What have you folks done to manage your 12v power connections?
Space is...
Enjoy!
How about which direction to safetywire/lockwire fasteners so they don't loosen. That will fry brain matter in some.
In an earlier life I was a Pipefitter for 20 years building submarines. Sometimes I was basically hanging upside down or using mirrors to get to mechanical connections if I could see them at all....
JayBros, thanks for your comment.
The bike rides smooth, no issues other than the handlebars being a little crooked. Just a little.
I just read the alignment procedure in the service manual...
I have a new 2021 F3-S.
The alignment between the riser/handlebars and the tracking of the front wheels are not quite aligned.
The handlebars are off about 8-10 degrees
It's not a show stopper...
I take it that Rustoleum Pell is their version of Plasti Dip.
I was just considering covering the BRP emblems myself.
Tire Comparison Calculator
There are a number of calculators out there.
This one allows for comparison say from your OEM size to whatever size you'd consider changing to.

F3-S Special and Limited. Nothing on the F3 or F3-S.
My take away is a new color and a few accessories but no design change.
I do have a new 2021 F3-S and really liking it but wondered if it was...
Very nice!
I agree it would slightly extend the arc but the degrees of rotation before engaging the brakes would remain the same if the rod hasn't changed length.
I appreciate the thoughts and suggestions, i do.
The brake lever pivots around the main bearing with the rod on the bottom and the pad at the top. The rod connection point and the pad travel in arcs...
