• 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.

    The life that some will not understand

    My wife bought a sign at a thrift store a few years ago and gave it to me. It says: You Never See A Motorcycle (Spyder to Us) Parked Outside A Psychiatrist’s Office. Non motorcycle people just don’t understand.

    $10k Question - which bike would you choose?

    Thanks for the positive feedback Wooodaddict. People that are not familiar with the 1330 engine don’t understand that these engines can easily go 200,000 with proper maintenance. Most of my miles are highway miles which are easier on the engine than city miles.

    How many miles on your current Spyder?

    2015 F3S bought new in Jan. of ‘16. Turned over 77,000 miles today. I never trailer it anywhere. The 1330 engines should get 200,000 miles with proper maintenance.

    Any Tips for reducing road trip costs?

    Many mom and pop motels are much less expensive that the national and regional chains and some are quite nice. I use Google search to find all motels in a certain city and then check prices. Most places that I stay in are under $100 per night.

    Rear ended on the way to OC bike fest

    I don’t know your situation if your brake lights flash when you press on the brake and it may not have prevented the accident anyway. But I have a brake light flasher on my taillights and also a Brake Free light on the back of my helmet that flashes when I slow down or press on the brake. I...

    Went To Church in our New Car!

    Ron when I was growing up my mom and dad owned a 1952 4 door Plymouth Belvedere, the year I was born. It had a three speed shifter on the steering column. This is the car my brother and I learned to drive at my dad’s farm when we were about 11 or 12 years old. The photo of your Plymouth...

    2023 RT won’t shift to 1st fm Neutral when warm, intermittently - anyone else?

    I own a 2015 F3-S and have had my reverse actuator switch replaced twice. Once was under the OEM warranty and the second time was the extended warranty. Your problem sounds familiar.

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I have a ‘15 F3-S with 76,000 miles. Has been trouble free except for the front sprocket which has since been replaced with the “new” sprocket. Never a DESS issue. I plan on riding it until at least 100,000 miles before I decide to sell or trade. I would be cautious about the ‘17 F3L with...

    Shout out to Rice Motor Sports, Spearfish SD

    I have not needed them while at the 3 wheel rally but a buddy of mine did need them one year. They got him right in and got him back on the road in a few hours. I think there is also a dealer in Rapid City. One drawback to BRP is that their dealers are few and far between.

    I love my Madstad.

    Pedal Commander—Holy bat guano Batman!

    Pedal Box will do the same thing. Both are great for upgrading the Spyder.

    To Windshield or.....

    I have the 18" Madstad on my F3-S and love it. I am 5' 10" and look over the windshield. The biggest selling point of the Madstad is that it is adjustable up and down and backwards and forwards. I bought the untainted version.

    Can Am has a secret weapon to increase and add riders to their family!

    Regarding the F3 feet forward position, you can add a third peg between the rider pegs and the passenger pegs to be able to stand and give some relief to your rear. Should you wish to consider the F3 Lamonster sells the third peg and I believe he also sells floorboards for the F3.

    Picking up my new F3-T, Recommend any first mods/farkles?

    When I bought my F3-S new in 2015 I first added a Madstad windshield. After riding a thousand miles or so I added LED headlights and fog lights from Lamonster and the brake/run/turn strobe light kit from SpyderPops. I want to be clearly seen by cagers!

    For those of you with them, what Sheepskin cover care do you use?

    Last year I purchased a Sheepskin cover for my F3-S at Spyders in the Ozarks. So far it has never been rained on. I am leaving later this week on a 10 day trip and the forecast for the day I leave is rain. And I will probably run into rain during the trip. For those of you that have a...

    I think there are some YouTube videos out there that show installation on an RT.

    Want to replace Reverse lights with brighter LED's - any sources/part numbers?

    I ordered the LED bulbs listed in the link above but they do not fit my F3 socket. The 1156 bulbs are too big in diameter. Has anyone found an LED reverse light to fit the F3?

    Want to replace Reverse lights with brighter LED's - any sources/part numbers?

    I have bright LED’s as my brake lights. Probably 1156 bulbs. Much brighter than the stock brake and tail lights.

    Is there a lower foot peg for the passenger foot peg assembly for F3L

    I also have the 3rd peg from Lamonster Garage. One of the best options I bought for my F3S. I installed it myself.
