My question is how will the amp be connected to the radio on a 2016?

The wires supplying signal are already under the back seat from what I can see. Will have to wait and see if that is the case...

I believe that's only on the 2017 model???

No, they are under my 2016 seat.

This may be very well in my future to add to the triple black. Also hope the auto level air will also be retrofit able to the 16's as well, getting tired of always having to bring along a battery powered compressor to adjust being single rider to two up riding on the fly.

"Battery powered compressor"? I kept the tiny hand pump from the Vision. It's about 8" x 1" and includes a gauge. It only takes about 20 pumps to move from 45 to 60 psi. I actually used it to pump the shock from 0 to 45 at dealer pickup, and it was pretty effortless.

So you are saying that the audio connection from amplifier to the radio already installed on the 2016 F3 L?

I have a F3T but yes, it appears all the wiring for the top case is there. Aux power, lighting, and audio. I'm just guessing as they aren't labeled but all the plugs are there capped and ready to get plugged into. If you do a build and price on a 16 F3T or F3L you will see the top case as an option so I'm thinking they are be prepped for them. Unfortunately, the only thing under the back seat that is labeled is the accessory power so I can't tell what's what for sure. I'm sure a dealer can confirm. Then again, they might confirm that all those plugs and connections are for something entirely different. I'm just guessing and hoping. I could be completely wrong. It's happened a time or two before...

It's on page 71 in the 2017 Catalogue:

I'll post a pic, Bob, but it wasn't an ad for the Victory pump per se, but simply to note that a miniature hand pump works.....

The Vision pump looks very similar to this, Bob......Victory charge like Can Am so it would probably be $200 from them. This one is $70 and you can get cheaper ones depending on how often you think you would use it.

I can't see the plugs shown in Lamont's Spyder trunk removal video under the rear seat of my F3-L, but I also can't remove the rear cowl easily as I have the fixed BRP backrest. My guess would be that they are under that rear cowl, if anywhere, as people would rarely take the rear cowl off, so BRP could keep their "little secret" pretty much under wraps until the 2017 was released.

The fact that BRP say it "fits the 2016" does tend to indicate that the wiring is already in place, but.........

We'll have to see Pete and you certainly could be correct...

I have recently bought my first , a 2017 F3 Limited and would like to know how I can get the part number for the plastic cover so I can take the top box off? I only need the top box on for when I go on long road trips and overnighters. I spend a lot of time just riding the local back roads and really like the bagger look for when I just want to cruise the beaches.
