    Default New owner help!

    My new 2016 F3 LTD Special Series is being delivered in 10 days. Since safety is vitally important to me, the first farkles I feel I HAVE to add are: Flashing brake light, in-mirror blinker LED (facing to the rear), and front fender blinkers that also face to the rear. Having NO IDEA of the complexity of installation or the bike itself, though I have read the blinkers within the mirrors are a nightmare, do I need a decent understanding of electricity (which I don’t), and does the F3 LTD need an added fuse or wiring box or something? I’ll have them installed if it’s beyond my capabilities but I have no idea where to start once I visit the vendors on Spyderlovers.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    and Most vendors have pretty good installation instructions that come with their products. Many times, you can see these on line to help you determine if the installation is within your capabilities.

    As long as you know your limits, you should be good to go. I have had all my electronics installed by my dealer. I have back and hip issues so cannot crawl around under or around the . Have installed floorboards and extended brake pedal though.

    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.

    If after reading the instructions (17 times! ), if you don't feel comfortable with it; call either your dealer, or the friend that you trust the most with wrenches!
