• 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.

    Finally, doing Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway in May!

    Although many say the Tail of the Dragon is overated, I think it is worth it. If there long enough, the Cherohola Skyway and Foothills Parkway is definitly worth the ride. The Tail of the Dragon is being repaved, and will probably be still doing repaving when you are there. Also, keep in mind...

    Has anyone with a '21+ Spyder got a Baja Ron anti sway bar? Worth it?

    I currently have about 7k miles on my 2021 RTL. I do not have the upgraded sway bar. I ride this one more at a leisurely pace, and also 2 up whenever I can get the wife to ride with me. I also have a 2016 F3L and it does have an upgraded sway bar. For me, I don't need it and decided to go...

    Who's planning to go to Maggie Valley Spyder Adventures 2023?

    This is a pretty good event, with a chance to meet many other spyder riders and ride some of the best roads in the country. But each year it seems to be getting earlier and earlier, which makes us miss some of the peak color changes unless you ride to the highest peaks. So this year we decided...

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    I am on my 6th spyder. On my 2014 RT SM6 I got around 40-42 mpg. On the 2016 F3T and 2016 F3L I get anywhere from 35-40 mpg. On my 2021 RTL I am getting only about 35-40 mpg. I consider all of them to be Ok, but the 2021 has the most inacurate gas gauge of them all.

    New F3 - Will the F3T or L Bungee Net fit my rack/Saddlebag Mounts?

    Nice looking ride. If you will be riding with a back pack, you will possibly be removing the drivers backrest. If you ride that way, be careful that the backpack doesn't scratch the nice looking cowl that you have in place of the rear seat. Enjoy your ride.

    Fitting F3 Handlebars on RT - any idea where to get stock F3 bars online?

    My guess is that they will come out with different bars with the upgraded model of the F3 series. I am thinking that should happen within the next 2 years at the most. This F3 style has been the same for 9 years. That is how long they stuck with the RT styling until they finally made the...

    BajaRon's Spyders & Rykers in the Smokies Rally & Poker Run

    I was not able to make it last year. Hopefully I can get there this time. A few friends went and had a good time. Do you have a flyer tthat i could copy and post on our local facebook page?

    Too much for a left over 22 F3 Limited Special!

    Unless you are seriously stuck on getting new, check out the Ad for a 2018 F3L for sale by a member here. He is located in Florida and is selling his at a more than fair price. But if you do prefer new, I agree with the others that say check out Imotorsports. I bought a new 2016 F3T from them...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    Looks like that could be fun once it is done. Did the previous owner turn it into the insurance company? I guess what I am asking is, does it have a salvage title?

    Need some help valuing my 2018 F3 Limited in Blue

    I agree with what AR said, and feel like you are in a good place with the asking prices that you are considering. I am on my 6th spyder and feel pretty good about the deal that I got on them all. Yours is definitely in a price range that someone looking would consider a good deal, but also a...

    Nitpicking the 2024 RT

    That red is beautiful! My buddy was assembling a red 2024 on Saturday when we went to the dealership. It looked much nicer than the Sea to Sky in my opinion. They also had a couple of 2023's over in the corner, and even a new 2022 in the showroom.

    Nitpicking the 2024 RT

    I think the touch screen stops working at 10 mph, so it has to be controled by the buttons after that. I got a chance to ride down to the dealership in Winston Salem, NC on Saturday. I was more looking to check out the actual color on the "Sea to Sky". It is more of a flat white color than...

    I just picked up Another 2018 RT!

    Nice looking bike. How do you like the digital dash in comparison to the standard that you had on your older one?

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    :agree: My Mustang already has 3 or 4 driving modes. And to be honest, I did not need it with the way I drive now. But after getting over $50 off on the Black Friday sale, I couldn't help getting it. And just like the Spyder, it did not increase upon the 435 hp that it has stock, it just made it...

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    I did not watch the entire video, but I did skip around. When I saw the 5.0 mustang in the backgroud, I was interested. A lot of what he said was crap. I purchased the pedal commader for my 2017 5.0 mustang after being so happy with the pedal commander on my 2016 F3T and 2016 F3L. I am as...

    Looks like the 2024 F3L gets 5 position heated grips?

    Wow, the RT only has 3 levels (high, low, and off). My BMW had 5 levels and then off, and I loved them. My F3L only has the on and off setting. It is better than nothing, but really lacking when temps get below 40.

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    Another vote for the ramps and rear of truck. I also would not use the ramps off the tailgate. In fact, I backed my trailer onto a set of car ramps (to get it higher), then I put some 6' ramps on the rear of the trailer. Just remember to tie everything off, ramps, spyder, etc.

    F3 Ltd - what kind of luggage bags do you use? Or a rack & extra bag?

    The hard side luggage from Can am is good, but I prefer the soft side hopnel bags. You can fit more stuff in them than with the hard luggage. But, if you need to be carefull that you don't put too much stuff in them and then not be able to close the saddle bags, trunk, or frunk properly. In...

    Looking for advice on which 2020 Spyder RT Base Rear Trunk to buy?

    It is not quite the same, but I added a luggage rack and a 54L givi box to my 2016 F3L Special series and it works great. I am sure there is some sort of rack or link that can be used on the 2020+ RT to accept a givi box or other brand. I actually love how I am able to just take the entire...
