• 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.

    Anybody using an aluminum frame enclosed trailer to tow their Spyder?

    We haul my husband's Triumph Tiger 900GT and my F3-T in a Neo Trailer, Model NAV714. His bike goes in the front with a chock and 4 ties down rings. Mine goes behind it with E-Track chocks and over the wheel tie downs. You do need "add on" ramps to decrease the ramp/trailer angle so the Spyder...

    What is the 'ideal' Ride Height? Should the front shocks be biased toward more clearance or less?

    THANK YOU! I adjusted my ride height to approximately 3-7/8". It improved the handling over the 3-5/8" height and allowed me to "plush" the ride a bit more. These shocks are so dramatically better than the stock shocks I can't begin to find enough superlatives to describe them. We're heading...

    What is the 'ideal' Ride Height? Should the front shocks be biased toward more clearance or less?

    I know that CanAm (and aftermarket shock resellers) say that you should have 3-1/2" to 4" from the ground to i-beam in the front, with rider and gear. My question is what is "ideal"? Should they be biased toward more clearance or less? At least in my world, a half an inch seems like a huge margin.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Made little mount hooks that use the rear passenger grab handle boss. I always ride solo, so the grab handles have been off the F3-T since I bought it. We're leaving on a trip soon and I want to carry a small Kimoto top box on my passenger seat, so I made the hook. Took a ride quick 60 mile...

    It's official! I'm a SpyderLover.

    Great looking bike, Ken! It seems you wait for winter to ride, I wait for summer :) Enjoy your new wheels and be safe.

    How many miles do you have on your Spyder?

    My Ryker, which I owned three years had just over 28,000 when I traded it in November 2025. The F3-T I replaced it with now has 8972 (7/11/2026)

    Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

    I've got new boots! To many, it may seem like overkill, but I ended up with the Forma Adventure Dry Low. I like the easy on/off buckles and Velcro and they are very comfortable. Probably leftover from my 2 wheel days, but I'm just not comfortable wearing boots without ankle guards. Fit...

    Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

    Well, The Forma Glider Lady Dry arrived, but didn't workout as it was too tight at the ankle and offered no adjustability. They are kindly exchanging them for a pair of Adventure Low Dry that should arrive Monday. Hopefully they'll work for me.

    Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

    Thank you all. I settled on a pair of Forma boots that are on the way. I'll post more info once they arrive and I try them on.

    New Update to BRP GO! app - April 2024

    I quit using the BRP products ages ago. I choose to navigate with my Android phone and an app called DMD2. There is a free version that is plenty for my needs and there is a web based planner so I can plan my routes on a laptop. My work flow is: Plan route on laptop --> Export GPX --> Move to...

    Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

    Thank you for all the replies. I'm going to stick with Motorcycle specific boots for now. I currently have a pair by Milwaukee Leather. They've worn very well, but definitely not waterproof. I'll look into the brands/models mentioned. Keep the replies coming!

    Any Suggestions for new Riding Footwear?

    I'm an "All the Gear, All the Time" gal and I'm thinking it is time for a new pair of boots. My current pair I owned before making the switch to a Spyder, so I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions/recommendations of boots they love or hate.

    Thinking of switching to a Spyder, any others jumped from their Harley's to Spyders? Any advice welcome...

    I thought I had to give up riding and sold my Kawasaki Vulcan S after very serious health issues. On a whim, I took a 3-wheel Total Control class because they supplied the bikes. The next week, I owned a 2019 Ryker 900 ACE and my riding days, though different, were back! After 28,000 miles...

    Any useful comments or suggestions to help reduce back pain while riding 2023 F3-T - Short Reach Handlebars maybe?

    I tried a riser, and it helped, but the Short Reach Handle Bars were the game changer. For perspective, I'm 5'7 with a 34" inseam and 26" arm reach. After several re-arrangements, I've settled on Short Reach Handle Bars, without the riser and floorboards in position 4. I also have a Driver...

    Any suggestions on F3-T Mirror Delete options??

    I had a mirror cover fall off my 2017 F3-T today when I hit a pothole. I already run mirrors on my handlebars, so I'd happily delete the OEM mirrors. I know LaMonster used to make a kit for doing just that, but he doesn't offer one anymore. (Anyone know why?) Does anyone have a suggestion...

    JRI Shock Review

    I installed the JRI/BajaRon front shocks about 1000 miles ago on my F3T (2017). What a great upgrade! I had M2 shocks on my Ryker and these are as good or better and took way less fiddling to get adjusted perfectly. The performance is vastly better both in terms of ride comfort and handling...

    Any advice on 'better than stock' F3 heated grips?

    I use the wrap style like Purpleon3, but do not have the OEM heated grips under, just the stock grips

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I'm in the ATGATT camp. Everyone should do what they're comfortable with, whether on 3 wheels or 2.

    Trading in my Ryker, it's time for an F3-T - what issues should I be looking for/concerned about?

    I have the bike and am hoping for many trouble free miles. Thanks for all the hejo

    Intro... My new ride - an F3-T

    I've been on the Ryker forum for the last few years, but alas, the Ryker is gone and this F3 T is my new ride. I'm looking forward to learning from you folks as I get familiar with the bike. I have a BajaRon Sway bar on the way and will probably wait until I get to ride it some before making...
