I initially went this way with the Cortech bags, nothing went under the seat and you can see how i secured them. I did this for a trip from Northern Canada to New Orleans, worked great but not...

Don't shy away from the aftermarket parts as quality is not an issue (at least in my experience). I went with the Madstad windshield which is adjustable (up/down/angle/quick disconnect) which was a...

That is great news as I'm waiting for my RLS to clear customs into Canada and I too am using the stock muffler. How would you describe the difference pre/post?

Keep these posts coming! I'm following most of your threads as these are outside the box ideas. I have zero skills and can't fab anything but I'm really enjoying seeing what you've been able to do!

Hey Bam! Haven't seen any updates from you and am curious as to how things are going with your F3! Any new mods?

What product did you do to black out the grey bits? I used plasti-dip but I find I have to constantly touch them up (as it is easily removed and can be peeled off), but thinking of a permanent...

Been awhile since I posted, but a few things have been changed. Did not like the mesh material saddlebags as I do a lot of touring and them not being waterproof was an issue, plus taking them off...

100% agree with being able to tour with an F3. I live in Northern Alberta Canada and I've taken this bike from Northern Canada to New Orleans, Spyderfest in Missouri and California. What makes the...

No gloss used, just the flat black.

How tough was the install? When I pulled off the throttle side handlebar end cap it didn't look like there was a lot of room to install the handguards with the spring that was in there. Any tips or...

I want to eventually go with the complete delete that you've done, but I travel over 7000 miles per summer, so I needed a little protection from the kickoff from the rear tire. This is...

Excellent, I never even thought about that chain of stores being in Canada, but they do ship to Canada! That definitely gives me more options. Thanks!

It's sad when people jump onto threads to do nothing but bash a fellow Spyder Ryder's idea for their Own bike...

I get You may not like the idea, but if you have nothing productive to add /...

I'll make you a deal, you come up and live in Northern Canada with the temperatures we have here and you will understand :) Not to mention the number of huge bugs that I've taken to the knuckles...

Spend over 20k on a bike a few more $$ on accessories not that big of a deal :)

I was thinking about something like this, but I don't know the diameter of our bars on the F3.

I came upon this thread with the same idea as Rogue Hawk.

It's an old thread but no one has yet answered to what the diameter of the stock F3 handle bars are...

Anyone?

I saw a post some time ago about someone installing Hand Guards on their F3S. I am getting around to doing it now and was wondering if you could point in the right direction on what I will need. ...

I'm 6'1" and I went with the medium size windscreen and it works great! I've taken it from Northern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico using it in all weather conditions and it is amazing. I can't say...

Thanks for all your input, taking it in to get replaced on Monday. Only reason I even considered plugging was I just put 3 new tires on last month, hehe. O well, fronts aren't that bad. Thanks...

Have a small puncture and was considering plugging it. But as I've never done it before (but understand how its done), I just want to make sure the location of puncture should be plugged or tire...

Anybody else going to be at spyderfest early? I might be there on Monday or very early Tuesday. And wondering if anybody is doing a ride or if the vendors are there doing installs yet?

I am incredibly inept when it comes to mechanical issues, but this was probably the easiest install of all. It' been a year but I believe you remove the 1 bolt to release the link and 1 bolt (maybe...

I highly recommend Plasti-Dipping the parts. Its easy and inexpensive, it protects the surface of the parts dipped and you can remove it later if you change your mind. I've got 2 small parts left...

Thanks!

I am wanting to change out the bulbs for the rear brake light and the signals on the front of my F3, but I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out what the bulb types are to look for LED...

I noticed that there were events going on for those staying at the Best Western, does anyone know if there are similar functions going on at the Lamplighter North? (I looked through the threads and...

Appreciate the info! Yes I had 2 rocks pushed through my belt. It happened last year on my trip from Northern Canada to New Orleans. 35 mile section of road repair in Wyoming (tar / gravel pack),...

I had a new belt installed recently and I want to check the tension of it now that I've put on a 1000km on new belt. I have a Kricket that measures the tension by LB / KG, but I am not sure what the...

Now that the rims are cured, I think they turned out great. Just a few more 'grey' items to get blacked out and then see what comes up at Spyderfest
