    I just added the new F3 L to the Spyder Garage. So far, only two farkles, but planning on two more for sure (Lamonster Garage), and maybe an aftermarket windshield after I give the OEM about 1000 miles. That is about 10 days of riding for us. The other two farkles are more lights. Lighted Bumpskid, and more rear lighting.

    I recently tried to purchase online from BRP the signature light and was told they are no longer carrying that product, so you lucked out.

    I did the orange and dark. Call it my Canadian harley. it has been a long time since I have been excited to ride. Hurt too much before I got this. You name it it's wrong with me.
    Motomember was great on the deal for me. Traded two harleys, one roadglide and a triglide.
    Congrats on your new bike.20191025_091242.jpg

    It will take some getting used to, but I really like the looks and the orange color. I'm taking a chance, but also have a plan B.
    I started out with a RS, then a RTS, and ended with a F3T. I have to admit that I loved all three, but most of it depended on how I was riding. When ryding alone the F3T was the best, but two-up the RTS was the way to go. As for the RS I liked it ryding single, but my wife would not go long trips with me. The F3T she did like ryding with me.
    Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

    We have pretty much the same experience as far as machines go. Similar experiences with the GS, RS, and RT's. The F3L is going to be a whole new experience.

    Congrats on your new purchase - ride and enjoy.

    I love my F3L - looking forward to seeing the new RTL up close in the spring. I'll wait to buy one from someone's buyers remorse - which are usually easy to find in August or September *lol*.

    Will see what happens when they finally deliver the F3L. Page 34 of the 2020 catalog shows the signature light. Stock #219400895 for $169.95.

    See Lamonster Garage. They have similar. Click on F3 and scroll down to Lighting. $69 and sounds like plug & play. Lamonster Bright Ryder

    Thanks for the update. The x-screen was what tweeked my attention. The guys from F4 sent me a PM and I told them that I would check into their stuff. I do want vents this time.

    Just a note to let you all know that I got a call from iMotorsports today. The new F3 has been built and will be out for delivery this weekend. It is supposed to arrive sometime on Monday 12/16/19.

    Thank you all for the interest you have shown.

    I am going to close off this thread. Will start a new one when the F3 arrives.
