• 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.

    REVER route planner

    Been using this German planner: https://kurviger.de/en Exports to a variety of formats and has two cool features that allows you to plan adjusting the curviness of the route and plan a random roundtrip just by setting a direction and distance. There's also an Android App with turn-by-turn...

    DPS Optional Update

    Got mine today and... Steering does feel noticeably lighter. Not sure if it's better though. Guess I'll have to get use to it :/

    Any tips/tricks on Two up shock/Shad luggage mount install?

    I've removed mine to swap the shock, was an easy job. Remove the seats, then you have some screws to remove under and others over.

    Passenger and performance

    Truthfully, hardly noticeable for me (on my F3-S) except for handling. The nanny will hit the brakes on every tight curve or when doing the twisties more aggressively.

    Upgrading Turn Signals for 2019 F3’s?

    Seems BUDS has been promoted to BUDSII for MY2019, which might not be such an "upgrade" on some areas. Look for post #16 bellow: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?125380-F3-changes-2019

    What a Spyder might look like with a Shaft drive

    That's GG Taurus trike made in Switzerland. Based on BMW's K1200 4 cylinder engine with 175hp... It's fast. They make it also in 4 wheel configuration.

    New owner: F3-s

    This week it's been hot as hell here in Lisbon! If you included Cascais or Sintra in your itinerary, let me know, I might be available at the time and I'll be more than happy to meet with you and show you the region.

    New owner: F3-s

    Congrats!... or as they say there Parabéns. Oh yes, ECO mode has a noticeable flatter acceleration curve. Good for the break in period and to somehow acknowledge the ideal shifting revs. That said I've switched OFF mine after that, never turned it on again. I rather have the control of power or...

    It's home :)

    Congrats! Use an optimate battery tender and routed the cable to the back side of the frunk. Zip tied it on the opposite side of the coolant reservoir under the top plastic cover (just bellow the headlights). Connector is accessible trough a small opening on the right side of the top plastic...

    2017, 2018, 2019 F3s

    I've got a 2018 model. and absolutely sure there was no upgrade there. Don't think there were any upgrades for 2019 either. Mine kept hitting the wheel on the seat undercover while riding two up (about 340 pounds of combined weight). The two up option probably will do the job, but it's really...

    F3T do have the nice integrated side bags, only they won't hold full face helmets there. That was a no, no for me (would need to go for the $2000 topcase or the F3Ltd) No problem with the SHAD side bags for the F3-S. That and the fact that they are removable (with barely noticeable mounting...

    2017, 2018, 2019 F3s

    Question is about the F3-S and the new monochrome LCD dash is for 2019 model only. Also no bluetooth or cell phone integration for the F3-S (any year), that's exclusively for the F3-T/Ltd and the RT/Ltd. Other than this for 2019 the turn signals have moved from the mirrors to the front fenders...

    Accessory input please..

    Funny thing, I've also traded a 2016 Tiger XCx for a F3-S last year (MY2018), and couldn't be more happier about it. The Triumph was a great bike (best one I had) but I wanted to tour comfortably with the Missus so adding a third wheel just seem right. The heated grips are OK, but not sure if...
