2015 F3-S SE6, how easy to change ergos?
I'm going to look at a used 2015 F3-S SE6 tomorrow morning. The seller is shorter than me. I'm 6'2". He's 5'9". He said that the dealer set the bike up for him (handlebar and footpeg positions).
Question: Is it expensive to change the handlebar position and the footpeg position to fit me? My understanding is that different linkage is needed when adjusting the footpeg position. Is it something that I could easily do myself after purchasing the parts? Does moving the handlbars require any additional parts?

Yes you can as I just did both. You will need the brake linkage $20 or $30 bucks can't remember and the Handlebars are $150. You may find you like the closer bars as I am 6' and like the short reach bars. I will make you a great deal on mid reach bars if you want them.
You are looking at 1 to 2 hours even if you are not mechanically inclined. I am in a wheelchair and had just a little over an hour on those changes.
Regards,
Tim

Thank you. I'm going to see the bike tomorrow morning so I will find out how well I fit on it.

Thanks.
It's funny. I've never ridden a three-wheeler of any kind in my 51 years of riding. No trike, no bike+sidecar, and no Spyder. Hopefully, if I buy it, I can drive it home without killing myself.
(Well, I did have a tricycle as a child.)

Hey Captain, Well I hope you are now the proud owner of an F3S. I picked mine up last Saturday and am really enjoying the ride of the F3. I am not sure about the change up, I am trying to get used to it as it is and them will decide if I need to change the fit. Good luck on yours.

Congratulations! Start a "first ride" thread and tell us all about it.
I went to see it today and the pegs and handlebar fit me just fine. I told the seller that I would think about it and call him tomorrow. I'm not sure if I will buy it. I have a storage problem: The Spyder takes up the same room as two motorcycles. Decisions, decisions.
