    Default cat bypass install

    Hi YVES, great mods, you also mentioned that you are going to install the Cat Bypass , do you know if this install will void the warranty or is this acceptable by BRP. Hello

    Default Ditto Here

    Your outdoor pictures look just like our winter here in Northwest Ohio and I share the same wishes for it to go away ASAP. I gather from your video that an RT anti sway bar will fit an F3. If that is indeed true it would mean the BajaRon bar will fit it. This would make possible even more cornering capability on what is reported to be the best handling Spyder yet made. Thanks for sharing your video and your pictures with us.

    it's a yokohama advan 048 225 50 r15

    sway bar from the rt will fit this bike it's larger than stock one you need 4 rt bushing too

    didnt know about bajaron

    the rt bar and bushing is around 80$ cdn bajaron 300 US

    ive done it on my rss swaping for the rt bar and the diffrence was huge remember a f3 is about the same weight and more important you sit lower on it

    no doubt it's gonna be a blast

    Default Fender Mod

    I just upgraded to a F3S (red) from a RT and saw your post on the mods to your F3S! I really like the idea of what you've done with the rear fender, as I'm not a big fan of the original enclosure. Do you happen to have the part number for the fender you used from your previous Spyder and any pics on how you mounted it to the underside of the seat.

    Your clearly way more handy than I, and any additional info / pictures you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Daryll from Edmonton

    the cat by pass is here build quality is absolutely great odered from pitbull powersports








    this is the photo for the mounting of the rear rs st sport fender to the f3 the bolt with the gold washer is a stock f3 bolt for the others 2 you have to drill your stock under tail plastic and bolt the fender to it notice the small hole for the electrical connection on the left side





    the sound is great but it loud i will have to be carefull
