• 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.

    Trailer hitch requirements

    My dealer quoted $200 to install an after market hitch, but they quoted around $600 for a CanAM hitch and I think that was just for the hitch (I have to check for sure on line). My question is, can any reputable bike mechanic do the install as I am not mechanically literate? Also, thanks to all...

    Trailer hitch requirements

    Are there special requirements for a hitch for my 2016 F3T? What's the best place to buy a hitch and wire harness? I'm getting ready to bite the bullet and buy a camper (used)! This is scary stuff!

    Rain coming under windshield

    I've read a lot a posts about windshields, but no one complains of rain coming under the windshield and hitting them in the face. I have a 2016 F3T with a tall boy windshield. It has at least a 3.5" gap between the bottom of the windshield and the dash just below the glove box. When...

    2016 F3 Limited Saddlebag Emblems / Badges Removal

    Emblems on F3 saddlebags. I bought a used 2016 F3T and the previous owner had removed the emblem from the saddlebags. There are 2 grooves or dimples on each saddlebag left from removing them. I don't notice them anymore. ;)

    Silly question about inspections

    Inspection ? :clap:Thanks everyone :bowdown: I just drove my F3T :spyder2:home from the dealer, about 40 miles, in the rain, at 42 degrees :yikes: ! Had to sit on one hand every once in awhile, even with gloves. This dealer is definitely playing the game, so called another dealer who said...

    Silly question about inspections

    Are dealers the only ones who can inspect the Spyders? I've been told by my dealer if I put a car tire on the Spyder they can't (or won't) inspect it. Can a regular motorcycle mechanic put a sticker on it? Thanks!

    Rain gear by Ride Tribe

    I forgot . . . Forgot to tell you I bought a 2016 F3T last July and put almost 6000 miles on it so far. The best ride ever:firstplace:. I'll try to put a pic of the old ride I had, but had to go with something a little easier to handle. I'm sure glad I did. Anyhow, I looked up the Frogg...

    Burning Rubber Smell

    Burning smell as well. Hello All! I'm a newbie to spyders and to forums, so bear with me. About 6 weeks ago I purchased an F3-T with 3700 miles on it and also noticed the burning smell of rubber. I have put over 3000 miles on (can you tell I love it :D) and still get the odor every now and...
