You! Your EXPERTISE IS REQUIRED...PLEASE! 2018 F3-S
Non-Cage Enthusiasts! Your expertise is highly valued & sought after.
Quick summary: I am deeply experienced rider: Have been to 46 states on motorcycles and owned 21 cycles and have logged over 600K miles. This is my first CAN-AM and I am sooooooo hooked! Bought this weekend and put on 300 miles. I now know I need TWO ITEMS:
First: Windscreen
Second: Side cases
Model: 2018 F3-S
Challenge to you! I beg for your expertise please!
Buying the Spyder broke the bank a bit for me. What budget mindful, yet not overly sacrificing function/style do you recommend for: Windscreen & Side cases?
Windscreen: I am familiar with: BlueRidge, BakeBuilt and am leaning toward: CalSci https://calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/SpyderF3prod.html for $265.
Side cases: Aside from Mutaza, which appears to be only affordable hard side case option, I think I am forced to look at Soft side cases. Are there any recommendations for budget friendly Hard cases or side cases? Trying to stay under $300. I am extremely handy so modifications to hard or side is welcomed if final result is savings with great product.
Please help and hope to see you on the road!

From my own personal experience I would do a backrest before windshield & it would be the route 129 not blue ridge. Then Baja Ron sway bar, then Shad saddlebags then Lamonster Cat delete. I could go on for days about all the other add-ons but I think that covers the basics. Oh yeah, the foam hand grips are cheap & make a huge difference.

I would go with these bags.

And for the windshield

I love my F4 shield, but you are looking for lower price.

I put a Madstad screen on my 2017 F3L and I love it because the screen is adjustable for different riding situations.

I have had great luck with 7Jurock with a flip. Mine is 16" as I like to see over the w/s.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Before you buy a windshield ................. LOOK at all of them on a Spyder, at least one of them (not going to name it) really looks like it was a third thought rather than a good idea.
These are not cheap, be sure you buy one that is well built, solid material and easy to care for with good customer service.

Please keep up with suggestions as I am new and learning also.
Looking for 2017 F3 S windshield also and most of the recommendations are for L or T.
As I understand S is different.

Check this out. I have a 16" with flip on my F3L. Nothing not to like, especially the price.

F4 makes their windshields from High Optics Polycarbonate and they will not scratch even with steel wool, they shed rain and are optically perfect. You clean them with paper towels and any glass cleaner.
