Coming soon for the F3 (air ride)

[Lamonster]

Hope to have a very affordable air ride suspension ready to sell in the next few weeks for the F3. I want to make sure I get some miles on it first riding two up and then we will put the kits together. After seeing that they changed the swingarm on the F3-T to give it an air ride option I went forward with a project I already had in the works for the standard F3 and F3-S.

This system will make the F3 a two up Spyder and will solve any bottoming out issues. It's an air and hydraulic system to give you a smooth ride with max preload adjustment. I'm very excited about this project.

I will be excited to see this one. can't wait.

[Chupaca]

always on top of things..good luck with the project hope your testing will prove it to be great and you can add it to your product line...

[jneg2]

Hope it will be a bit cheaper than the Elkas!

[ARtraveler]

Great. That will solve one area of discussion.

What is it going to cost? If you don't have the exact number, how about a ball park?

Thanks in advance.

if you need a four hundred pound team of testers, we're available!

[Wippi01]

That sounds awesome!!! I just hope it will be affordable for a poor German college prof😉

I'll have options but hope to have the base kit without a compressor for around $300.00

I just looked and the parts list has not been posted yet. I'll post them as soon as I get them.

lamont, is this going to have a spring change with it as well as the shock?

There is no spring, this is a replacement shock with full displaced valving for a smooth ride in compression and extention. It's also a lubricated air sleeve for smoother operation.

BRP is going to list the parts needed to give it the same pull as an RT but it is not a recall or warranty issue. The F3 pulls the way it was designed to pull.

sign me up for the first one off the line!!

[Lamonster]

I got my bushings in and tested my setup and it did not go as planned.
The good news is I already have the parts on order for a better way of doing this and hope to have the prototype done before the end of next week. I'm 99.9% confident that this will be the ticket for the F3. I have one bracket to fab up and the install will be a snap and give us all that extra help we need riding two up or if you're just a big guy.

[Ron2andia]

Can't wait!

[Questions]

I can't wait to see this available.

My first attempt failed. The shock I used was not strong enough and I was still going to have to build a safety bumper in case you lost all your air.

I ordered new parts and I was 99.9% sure this would work and I ran into more issues.

Today I ordered some more parts and I'm not going to say for sure now but my bike is all tore apart till I get something to work. I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Hang in there.

I eagerly await updates on this. Are you still looking at a $300 price range or have the problems driven up the costs? Either way look forward to hearing about the progress. Also what kin of compressor are you running?
