    Default What is the difference between an F3L and an F3T ?????

    I have a 2016 F3 Limited and I don't know or can find out the difference between the F3L and a F3T ??
    My bags say F3Limited but my title says F3T..
    I have looked but I guess not in the right places...

    The F3L is the most "upline" version of the F3. It has a few more "bells and whistles." Real chrome for the "chrome" package. I believe the main difference between the F3T and the F3L was the addition of a "travel trunk" on the back. The T model just came with saddle bags. Since we are talking 2016 here, I am guessing the tittle has the correct description of the model. Previous owners may have added F3L bags instead of the standard bags on the T model. I believe the only difference was the "F3L logo."

    If I am not correct, others will correct what is wrong.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    In 2016 I bought an F3 Limited, had it 3 1/2 years and put 52,000 (maybe 54K, I forget) miles on it. That was my favorite Spyder.

    The 2016 F3 Limited did not come with a top box. That wasn't introduced till 2017. What color is it? The biggest and most noticeable difference is the chrome. You'll have a lot of it, wheels, muffler heat shield and end cap, you'll have a chrome piece on both sides by the driver floorboards. You'll also have floorboards (the T has pegs). And the saddlebag will say Limited. And in the grill, there'll be a small label that says Limited.

    On the T, there will be foot pegs and no chrome. Also, depending on the color, the tail piece and where your gas tank is, will be black.

    Post a few pictures.

    You indeed do have a Limited. In addition to the chrome pieces and floorboards, you should have heated grips, which is an option on the F3T. By having a 2016 F3L, you also get the larger rear sprocket. The later year F3L have the smaller one.

    Yes, that's a Limited.

    I had a 2018 F3T that I bought used the end of 2019. The previous owner (who worked at my Can-Am dealership) turned it into a Limited by adding the floorboards and trunk. He also added the heated grips. Trying to remember if he added anything else. So that is why my title indicated F3T, not F3L. For all intents and purposes mine was a Limited but it didn't start out that way. Hope that helps.
