    Default My New F3S is finally home!

    After waiting 3 weeks to get it built, it's finally in my garage. My 1st ride was 15 miles of rain and twisty roads. This thing is a blast. Just like everyone said, it doesn't act like a motorcycle at all. Totally different, but it handles the turns with ease. I'm going to like this thing.

    I'm loving this bike. Installed the BRP Backrest today ,and it feels great. Good support for my back. But dang! It ain't easy climbing on or off
    one of these things. With or without a backrest. Not sure that I've actually found the perfect way to do that.

    DMH - climbing on & off is easier using the passenger pegs ....

    Yeah, I got that much figured out. Thinking on some F3 ultimate floorboards.

    Dasmoetorhead,


    I have a 2023 F3 LTD Special I use the passenger floor boards to climb on/off it.It is much easier for me.

    I have the Lamonster third peg and Value Accessories Spyder Logo floorboards. The third peg makes mount/dismount very easy, and the floorboards really complement the sporty look of the F3S.

    Thanks for the reminder about the 3rd peg. It's an option.

    Installed the 36l shad bags today. My xl fly racing trekker full face helmet still will not fit in these bags, nor will it fit in the frunk. I'm bummed. Now I need a handlebar helmet lock I guess.

    Sorry to hear. My Schuberth large C3 helmet with comms fit in my SH36 saddlebag, as did my LS 2 helmet. I did add the lidlok, as when on overnight tours, I use my saddlebags for personal gear.

    My Helmet is naturally long . The chin area is longer for the mouthpiece. Typical dual sport helmet. I'm finding parts for it is getting difficult. I might start looking for a modular full face. One also that will fit in my bags.
