• 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.

    Ryker with F4 windshield - any ideas on which Cover fits?

    I have the F4 windshield and also the Ultimate Seat and Spyder Extras luggage. The cover designed for the F3 Limited is a perfect fit.

    FoBo-TPMS on a F3-S

    F3-S Yes, L and T No I've had Fobo's on my 2015 F3-S for a couple of years with NO problems. They screwed on easily and have remained in place and working great since then. Looking at the MUCH shorter valve stems of the newer F3-T and L, however, the stem extenders would clearly be required...

    Finished my custom bars this weekend

    Negotiating a turn? I'm imagining having to stretch left or right when making a turn because of the angle of the grips. Is that an issue? (BTW...they look great!)

    6-Speed Manual Marginalized in 2018 lineup

    Much prefer the manual...but... When I bought my '15 F3S, I thought long and hard about "settling" and going with the semi-automatic (a real downer for me.) The reason I did this is the extreme (compared to every 2-wheeler I've ever had) difficulty of pulling the shift level. It is just plain...

    F3-T: First Ryde Report

    Get a cramp buster. That will help with the throttle control without squeezing the throttle. Cheapest high-value mod possible.

    Hey F3T owners - I want your bags.

    OEM CrossCountry These were made for the F3-S. I love mine, now that I have swapped out the locks for "Combi-Cam" replacements. These bags are reasonably water resistant (I use plastic liners when touring) and, most important for people like me with smaller garages, they are easily removable...

    YOUR WINDSHIELD CHOICE ON F3? Gustaffson, Madstad, Rifle, California Scientific, F4

    Madstad Madstad does everything it says it will, very well. Keeps the motorcycle air flow feeling without any head buffeting. Works fine in the rain also. Full Disclosure: I'm comparing it to 2-wheeler windscreens I had in the past. P.S. - Whenever I want to ride without any air flow, I...

    Highway Speeds

    OEM is a good (cheap) fix Had the Can-Am belt tensioner installed last year and I've forgotten that this used to be a problem (and is was a BAD problem on my F3-S.) It was about $35 plus install. Should have been a recall item but...life goes on. Definitely get it and you will soon forget...

    F4 still best choice for an F3?

    Madstad Couldn't be happier with my Madstad. (2015 F3S)

    Flatout is moving

    80,000 Talked to the salesperson at the Indy m/c show. He said the store is going to be very modern and most of the 80,000 square feet will be showroom. (He didn't mention whether they're going to lower their $150/hr labor rate for Spyders, though.) Gasp!:banghead::gaah: I wouldn't hold my...

    F3 Foot U-fit Position and my thoughts

    Something Different? I have the 5th (furthest) foot peg position and the short-reach bar, and foot pegs (no floorboards.) With the OEM driver's backrest, I feel like I'm sitting in a recliner. :2thumbs: (5'10"/30" inseam) I'm a real believer in the model they have at the dealership to...
