    Non OEM seat. One Corbin with driver backrest on the 2010 and one BRP Comfort seat on the 2011.

    Both RT's have Sealfloorboards.

    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.

    - put on a touring screen: say this is nice!
    - got Givi saddle bags: wow, look at all this room!
    - then a top case: oohhh even better!
    - then the Spyderpops kit: whew, no more hot foot!
    - followed by the electric vest connection: ahhh.. warmth!
    - and the Helibar: fantastic.. now the wifey is happy
    - and the Powerlet and RAM mount: Kewl.... gadgets!!!

    see what I mean?
