• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Anyone used Saddlebags without supports on their F3-S??

    I initially went this way with the Cortech bags, nothing went under the seat and you can see how i secured them. I did this for a trip from Northern Canada to New Orleans, worked great but not waterproof so I eventually went over to the Shad hard bags.

    2019 F3s SS Blue Ridge or 129 windshield

    Don't shy away from the aftermarket parts as quality is not an issue (at least in my experience). I went with the Madstad windshield which is adjustable (up/down/angle/quick disconnect) which was a huge selling point and cost way less than oem that had no adjustability. Back rest the same...

    Akrapovic Sinister Silencer/F3 worth it?

    That is great news as I'm waiting for my RLS to clear customs into Canada and I too am using the stock muffler. How would you describe the difference pre/post?

    Passenger backrest/rack, differently

    Keep these posts coming! I'm following most of your threads as these are outside the box ideas. I have zero skills and can't fab anything but I'm really enjoying seeing what you've been able to do!

    MY F3-S build video and hi from a guy up north :D

    Hey Bam! Haven't seen any updates from you and am curious as to how things are going with your F3! Any new mods?

    No More Silver Trim on 2018 F3T

    What product did you do to black out the grey bits? I used plasti-dip but I find I have to constantly touch them up (as it is easily removed and can be peeled off), but thinking of a permanent change and really love the look of your glossy black. If you could take a picture of the can if you...

    Edmonton F3 Build

    Been awhile since I posted, but a few things have been changed. Did not like the mesh material saddlebags as I do a lot of touring and them not being waterproof was an issue, plus taking them off took too long so I switched over to the SHAD saddlebags which are amazing (pricey) but being a hard...

    Chances of a F3 revision in the next year or two?

    100% agree with being able to tour with an F3. I live in Northern Alberta Canada and I've taken this bike from Northern Canada to New Orleans, Spyderfest in Missouri and California. What makes the F3 ideal is that when I'm done touring I take everything off and ride it 'naked' so it gives me...

    F3 Hand Guards

    How tough was the install? When I pulled off the throttle side handlebar end cap it didn't look like there was a lot of room to install the handguards with the spring that was in there. Any tips or tricks? And what part number did you use for the installation kit? Was it the universal one.

    F3 rear fender delete

    Different I want to eventually go with the complete delete that you've done, but I travel over 7000 miles per summer, so I needed a little protection from the kickoff from the rear tire. This is what I've done for now - eventually I will go with the complete delete.

    F3 Hand Guards

    Thanks Excellent, I never even thought about that chain of stores being in Canada, but they do ship to Canada! That definitely gives me more options. Thanks!

    F3 Hand Guards

    Sad.. It's sad when people jump onto threads to do nothing but bash a fellow Spyder Ryder's idea for their Own bike... I get You may not like the idea, but if you have nothing productive to add / support to what a Ryder is asking why comment? If you don't like the idea, just scroll onto the...

    F3 Hand Guards

    Deal I'll make you a deal, you come up and live in Northern Canada with the temperatures we have here and you will understand :) Not to mention the number of huge bugs that I've taken to the knuckles that leave welts (June bugs, wasps, bees - more than what you have down there in Louisiana...

    Spend over 20k on a bike a few more $$ on accessories not that big of a deal :)
