Worked on it another ~2 hours tonight. Got the complete swingarm assembly put together - 140 parts to just that segment. Then started the process of mating it to the front suspension assembly. Again,...

^^^ … sadly, true about many things in our lives …

No scale mentioned.

Spent about an hour and a half on the new ‘toy’ tonight. Nine pages, 27 steps, and I have a nearly complete front end. Has working steering and suspension, complete with control arms, shocks, ball...

Dealer probably sold it to someone else …

Bought my ‘17 model ‘new’ in 2022 (I am 1st registered owner - it had less than 80miles on it). Bike had been at 3 different dealers - and I still got...

True that!!

Decided to put off opening the 7 bags marked “1” until I can put a couple hours into it. And - don’t want parts scattered all over Hades.

Cool! Rio Hondo here. What color’s your F3-S? Will be on the lookout for ya.

Hmmm … I consider myself a pretty educated fellow, but these “instructions” seem to be the worst I have ever seen. Not a single word - in ANY language - in the instruction book. Apparently, there are...

Welcome to the forum, PR !!!! How far south in “South Texas”?

Congrats!!! Love that color. Wishing you many years of miles and smiles!

Cobwebs - table was built by a friend of the wife’s. I ‘believe’ it is mesquite wood.

Well - the spousal unit just gave me a birthday present. Black box with “Zylegen” meant nothing to me. Opened it, and started pulling bag after bag of what appeared to be Lego-looking pieces out …....

Was worried that, with the price increases on EVERYTHING in our world, the B.E.S.T. would be higher. Called Thomas last month, and secured the 3-year warranty extension for $671 for my NOS ‘17 F3-S...

Love it! My signature line on other forums is, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice …”

Snapped the pic on Jan 07, but couldn’t find the thread …

I wear ear plugs w/ a full face helmet. But, I use short windscreens that keep my head in clear air

I am using the foam grip covers that Lamonster sells. End result feels pretty much akin to the Kuryakyn ISO grips I had on my Honda CTX1300. I like it, and my wife is happy with hers, too. I wear...

I believe ALL 2015 F3 models had the big rear sprocket. It is a base model, evidenced by solid painted silver wheels, small round light at front of front fenders, and bright heat shields on secondary...

To each his own. Don’t think computer will let you do anything to really hurt the engine on the SE trannies.

I do a lot of engine braking. My Daytona is a SM6 !! What’s the problem ?!?!? :clap:

Well … 70’s Roadrunners … ;)

Pitot tube for airspeed?

Well, that sux!!!! Hope the harm to the man was less than the harm to the machine.

“We” are not darksiders. I “was” a darksider.

If it’s only rotating ~180* or so before binding, I would think you have a bolt head that has backed out somewhere and is contacting something (the block, a case cover, etc). Vaguely recall that...

^^^ Sheesh … how big is your yard ?!?!?

Did this just last week or so. Lots of safeties: ramps, straps, floor jack, wheel chock. Stable as can be.

ARtraveler - wish I had known your exact where-about a few months ago. When my wife and I rode our two F3-S’s up for the meetup at Lamonster’s, one of my solo afternoon “spirited” rides thru the...

Sub-tropical South Texas was anything but that today. Just got in from a 26-mile ryde - temp of 27*F, NNW wind @ 21mph, “feels like” temp of 16*F, overcast skies.

Very good riding near Harrison, AR, especially to the south and southwest.
