    Default Made the move - RT to F3-T

    Made the move from the 2014 RT to a 2017 F3-T - Absolutely the best move!
    I also have to give a shout out to Lamonster who I talked with at the Dallas Motorcycle show about the bike and then to PitBull PowerSports in Springfield, Mo. who I bought my new ride from.

    Riding to Springfield from Texas to pick up my new ride and now I can't wait to travel this great land!
    First picture is my old to new bike - then I spotted those RED wheels and had to have them - they make a real difference in the overall speed of the bike.

    Does your F3 have a locking gas lid? If so, have you opened it and tried to close it yet? Let me know because lots of complaints about the locking lid. Thanks.

    There is an easy fix for this one. I had the same problem but a good dose of silicone on the mechanism fixes it right up. It's so easy to close now, nothing to it!

    I rode the RT up to Springfield and rode the F3-T back to Texas - the difference in the riding position was amazing. I am so glad that I was able to make the move!

    It is hard to say as I had so many things added to the bike - Around 30K give or take...

    Elka shocks front and rear
    Rear top case with back rest, panel kit, cargo rack and rear speaker kit
    PitBull Performance Package
    Heated grips
    Driver foot rest
    Fog Lamps LED
    HD Sway bar
    Roller Kit
    Cover - Full
    Bluetooth for phone
    Exhaust upgrade
    Laser Align
    LED Headlamps
    Red powder coated wheels

    Then the Lamonster farkles started..... that's another whole list.

    One of the main reasons (Red color) I traded the bike in, besides I really like the way it handles. Reminds me of when I rode my two wheel bike a few years ago.

    I saw your RED wheels a few weeks ago and thought they made the bike. When I ran into ElgynSpyder Girl at PitBull she was having the Purple wheels put on her new bike and told me they had RED also. It didn't take me long to buy them.

    This gets better with time, but I have found that if you apply pressure with both thumbs, you will hear and feel a click, and it will lock in!

    It also helps to have your husband close it for you until such time I am able to get it to lock back in.....
