• 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.

    F3 Limited trunk issue?

    The lid on my 17 was flimsy too. Adding a luggage rack stiffened it up nicely.

    Airhawk

    I’ve had Mustang and Corbins seats on previous bikes andwhile they helped comfort none did as much as my $75 AirHawk. I never leave home without it.

    What to buy???? F3T or F3Limited ????????

    My ‘17 F3L is my 3rd touring bike with rear trunk. All have been removable but have never taken any off even for a day ride. The side bags don’t hold much so the trunk becomes main storage on a trip. In fact my rain gear pretty much takes up one side. On daily rides nice to hold helmet...

    Helmet Life. What should we expect?

    I put on 5-8k miles/year and have found that at 4-5 years the lining is getting worn out (even with washing) and the linger points and strap are also showin* their age. Usually also ready for a change at 4-5 years.

    GW Trike vs Canam (Trike)

    I’ve heard of problems getting service on any heavily modified bike including trikes and choppers. There are also negative comments regarding all Service Agencies as well as sales. Personally I have found that if you maintain equipment properly and treat the dealers fairly, you will get...

    GPS what is the best for the can am Spyder?

    Garmin Zumo on LaMonster center mount. Great screen, lifetime maps and free Garmin BaseCamp software for making custom turn-by-turn maps.

    I was thinking to get a F3-T, not anymore!

    It’s not like you do it every day or even annually. I think they recommend at 28,000 miles. For me that’s 4-5 years. Probably hire it done anyway.

    BRP Garmin Zumo GPS Holder for F3 models

    There is an unused switched power lead under the left access panel as I recall. It is labeled. Ask dealer when you pick up bike. I’m sure they’ll tell you. Or have them do it for few $. I got a power plug pigtail for my battery maintainer plug that into 2ndport on LaMonster mount which is...

    Windshield. F4 or Madstad? Vent or not?

    I am 6’4” and use a 24” Madstad on my ‘17 F3L. Have had a number of Madstads on many bikes, always very high quality. And they don’t look like a screen door on front of bike. Website doesn’t have 24” but you can contact company for spl order. Same price as 22”. IMHO gent is unnecessary with...

    My Spyder bloopers - I will tell you mine if you tell us yours

    I can relate. I forgot to close gas cap on snowmobile and was going to show off for friends and went off this big jump, I was completely dissed in gas.

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    I’ve had a number of bikes, some with chain, some belt and some shaft. Obviously wouldn’t get anything with chain. Shaft is quiet and clean but some added weight, high first cost and if you have a problem, it can be expensive to fix. I’ve concluded it’s hard to beat a belt. They require...

    I have a Zumo 390 on my ‘17 F3L. I mounted the gps on a Lamonster power plate on the center handlebar mount. Also lave a dual USB port on one side and a power outlet on the other side of plate that I use to plugin battery tender. Works and looks great. Bike is in storage or i’d Send a pic...

    "Scuffing" noise coming from left wheel

    Now that you mention it, the left wheel on my ‘17 F3 Limited makes the same sound. I spun wheel by hand when I had it raised to replace Sway Bar. Same sound but not a grinding feeling. Wrote it off as a slightly warped rotor but now that you have it too, not so sure. I did not mention at...
