Kilroy, nice bike to get! I had a 2012 Concours and joined the COG group (concours.org). I sold it back in 17 for a 16 F3 LTD. Bad knees. Anyway, I still belong to the COG group and ride with them...

I posted a lengthy response with pictures of my trailer setup. The trailer was around $3k. Look up my post from 4-20-21 to get another option.

I just got back from 4 days at the Blue Ridge campground for a COG event. Put 1600 miles on the bike (2016 F3 Ltd). The grill was closed but we brought our own food for a nice BBQ. Super nice place...
For what it's worth..... ride whatever way that makes you happy! Use the octane that you can afford and the MPG you're happy with. Life is too short to worry about such minor things. Damn, I just...
Well.... I have a 2016 F3 Ltd still with the stock screen. One of the first things that I added was the adjustable X-screen (don't buy the cheap Chinese single mount version, a POS) I have it...
Snorking, here's a link (?) to what I had posted on an earlier thread. It has pictures of my setup, although upside-down. Not sure how to add a link but you should be able to search for it.

Snoking, you will find that you don't need (can't use) the rear set of chocks for the front wheels. I have the same setup. I removed the rear chocks and just used flat E tracks instead. I found that...
Try going to a motorcycle shop to have the tire mounted if the wheel is already off the bike. That's what I had done when I replaced it with a Kumho tire on the rear. If the wheel is still on the...
I'll add my experience to this conversation. Last year I purchased an aluminum trailer, same one as at Tractor Supply. It's has a 10 foot X 65 inch bed with a ramp on the back which can't be used...
I'll add my experience to this conversation about using your high beams during the daytime. On my prior bike, a 2012 Concours C14 sport touring bike, I had installed a Kissan headlight modulator...
BajaRon, thanks for the input. At the time I tried ordering your tool but I got an email back from your site stating that you were out of stock and would be getting more in, in about a week. I didn`t...
Hi everyone, thanks for all the helpful replies. Sorry for the delay in responding back on this. This rear brake design was a new one for me. Apparently it's common on cars now. Yup, it's been awhile...
I'm changing out the break pads on all three wheels and have encountered a problem with getting the rear caliper back onto the disk. The fronts went fine. After changing each set I pumped the break...
Back when I was researching tires to replace my rear about 2 years ago (only got 7500 miles on the stock tire), I ordered 3 different make tires from Walmart all being the same size, 215/60 R15. When...
Yes, the steel ramps will slide on your cement floor. I solved this by putting inserts for 1/4 lag bolts in the floor to clamp down 2 pieces of 1x2x8 long wood. Removable when not needed (leave this...
I had a similar issue about a year ago with mine as well from them. I noticed a squeaking noise and one was stuck. I cleaned them lightly with a Scotchbrite pad, solvent (mineral spirits) to cleanup,...
Merry Christmas. I installed a set of LED semi trailer side marker lights (orange) in this location. They come with a rubber gasket for mounting and fit perfectly in this location. I carefully cutout...
I have a 2016 F3-Ltd with the larger rear sprocket. Your thinking is on the right track but you have your ratios backwards. The larger rear sprocket will give you more torque, quicker acceleration...
Ha, ha, yup, that's south Babcock street all right south of Malabar road. Try cutting across to US1 on Valkaria road if it's near you. I live just south of FIT so I avoid going south on that part of...
Joe, I installed mine today, been busy, and went for a good ride. At 75 mph, clear as a bell. So simple yet so effective, way to go! I hope you can sell a boat load of them as they really do make a...
Sweet ride. I had a 2012 C14 before going to the F3 Ltd (knees). Even though I ride the Spyder now, I'm still an active member of the COG club (Concours Owners Group). Since you have a C14, you need...
Hi Blueknight, didn't want to hijack this tread too much. Sorry, forgot to mention the tire. I installed a Kumho Solus TA11 215/60R15 94T BW and running 20 PSI. In a few years, LOL, when I wear out...
There is one bolt, I believe the upper of the three that is a PITA to get out. I used a box wrench and could only turn it about 1/8th of a turn at a time due to accessibility. A slow process but it...
I use a bead seat cover that I bought on Amazon for $12.00 and it works better than I thought it would. Just did a 632 mile day coming back from NC to FL and my but felt fine. It's a cheap way to try...
Here is some information that I would like to share with the crowd about my experience when I replaced the rear tire on my 2016 F3 Ltd. Take it for what it’s worth for your own enjoyment. As everyone...
I've had my flash for about 7 months now and I'm very happy with the difference. The exhaust on mine is stock but I have noticed at idle it has more of a rumble to it and a little louder. When you...
Well, another happy camper here with Sierra Cycles in AZ. I emailed them on Tuesday with my 2016 F3-Ltd VIN and mileage info as the factory warranty runs out in August. I had purchased a 2016 model...
Thanks. That was quick.
Couldn't find this info off had with a search. Can someone tell me the width of the rim on the rear wheel. Yes, looking for new tire and wanted to make a comparison to a car rim width. Thanks much....
I have the 2 inch risers on my F3. If you get the 1 3/4 inch ones you won't be able to tighten down all the hardware. The 2 inch one barely gives you enough room. I had to change two of the mounting...
