Picked up my new 2021-F3 last week and every time I ride it I like it more. I've been a Harley rider for 40 years and now I'm not sure I will ever want to ride my Harley again. This thing is so much fun. I already have a list of modifications I'll be making. I'm sure some of my friends will be getting one now.

Things that move between machines: Ikea sheep skins, Zumo XT GPS, and extra tools. Hooker is going to be my summer trike up North; and Hookie my winter trike down South.
(Asphalt/Hookie) Elka shocks on front - BajaRon sway bar, OEM driver's backrest, LED headlights, dual USB with voltmeter, dash cam, foam grips - Magic Mirrors - front tires Vredestein Quatrac SL on PPA ORB Chrome wheels.
When I bought my F3S back in late 2019, I also had a H-D. Owned since new 2009 EGS. I found myself riding the Spyder more and the H-D less. I sold my H-D to a buddy. With quick detach luggage, the Spyder became my tourer. Haven't looked back..
2022 RT Sea To Sky

The F3 model is a "luxury" cruiser for sure. I have had a lot of the "real" things...all the way up to 2000cc. We have the F3L's and to us, like driving a Cadillac cruiser.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

Now ya get to spend some money on accessories to make it your own....
Start your mods from the bottom up. Suspension is EVERYTHING. Visibility, performance, and farkles come after that. Sway bar, alignment, tires, shocks will radically improve the handling and tracking.
IMHO give it a year -- bone stock -- at least you will have a basis for changing anything ..... I bet there are tens of 1000's of bone stock Happy Spyder owners .... and this info is from someone who has made 80+ changes to my RT ... I'm handy and resourceful and almost all of my changes were DIY .... which probably saved me 90+% of what I spent. ... good luck .... Mike

"I bet there are tens of 1000's of bone stock Happy Spyder owners" Yep and there are 100's of thousand that think Ford makes the best pickup! Why wait to make it your own?
