    Default Wife's new F3:

    F3 arrived yesterday. Too bad TN is having one of it's worst winters ever, so the break-in miles aren't going to happen fast. She ordered a non-S for a few reasons: She seldom used cruise on her RT, we prefer the more aggressive grill w/o the large chrome trim and we both prefer the tank area in pearl white vs the black of the S version.
    The wheels and muffler are off to the powdercoaters for a nice charcoal treatment to better match the exposed engine covers.
    We already had that TN plate ready for the F3.
    It's a manual as she won't have it any other way.
    Floorboards, saddlebags and windshield are on order. She's 5'0" tall, so the OEM windshield may work for her.
    Here are a few quick pix so that you know this did happen.

    Default Nice!

    Your wife's F3 looks great.

    It is strange, I never cared for the Peal White on Spyders, until the F3.

    Wheels and muffler are already off the bike and will be shipped out Monday. If all goes as planned, the bike will be together in another week. There is some pressure on me because the last new car she had I took the wheels off, sold them and then the car was on jackstands waiting 6 weeks for the new backordered wheels!!

    i REALLY like the WHITE....
    mine is
    SILVER/BLACK, which i also love...
    1 thing she'll wish she had is the
    CRUISE CONTROL....
    but from what i've heard, it can be installed @ a later date....
    enjoy the ride....

    Looks awesome. Make sure the warranty campaign is done on the break hose.

    That's exactly what I wanted to order but the lack of cruise made me go F3S. LOVE the white!

    Love the new white F3, but I think I love your awesome looking and spotless garage floor even better! Man you could eat off that floor.

    Sometimes it seems the garage floor is cleaner than the house floor.
