• 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.

    Handlebar Riser/Clamp Bolt Size???

    Thanks for asking this question. I am getting ready to swap my stock handlebars with the long reach, and will need this 7mm tool to do so.

    ANOTHER 18 -NO MAUAL DOWNSHIFT

    Is the concern/cause of this issue when someone manually downshifts, or when letting the Spyder do it for you? I just bought an 18 F3-S as well. If I'm doing something I shouldn't be, I'd like to correct the behavior sooner rather than later.

    Windshield. F4 or Madstad? Vent or not?

    32-inch tinted model for my 2018 FS-3. Just put it on, haven't ridden with it yet due to the rain the past few days in Texas, but sitting on it shows me that I can easily see over the top of the windshield by several inches. I am 6'2" tall with the riding pegs and brake pedal in position 5 (the...

    What is my best option for a passenger backrest?

    It is very solid and doesn't move. The bracket you mount under the seat is thick, heavy and strong. I just added the driver's model earlier this week too. Haven't seen/used the Smooth-Spyder one, so I can't comment whether it is better or not. As I said, I'm pleased with the one I bought and...

    Sounds useful, but the app shows as $15.99 in the Apple App Store. Is this correct?

    Windshield. F4 or Madstad? Vent or not?

    I did a bunch of research before buying an F4 recently. Made my decision based on feedback and recommendations from others on this forum, in addition to looks, functionality, mounting hardware, etc. Like others have said, people will think good or bad about the same exact product. It's all...

    What is my best option for a passenger backrest?

    Just went through this process as well. I plan to take my 10-year old son out on the Spyder soon. I opted for the Lamonster garage passenger backrest. Also bought the matching driver backrest. The size is one of the bigger ones that are available. Very solid, mounting brackets are very heavy...

    My new 2018 F3L

    This is EXACTLY how I feel about mine as well. Just bought it about six weeks ago after riding two wheels for ~5 years. I can't get enough of this ride. I hope it never wears off.

    F4 windshield owners - need some feedback

    Thanks Pete! I talked to both Alicia and Rachel at F4 today. They agreed the 28" model is probably to short for me and would cause buffeting on my neck/head. I'm going to try the 32" model and cut it down if it is too tall for me to see over comfortably. Appreciate the feedback!

    F4 windshield owners - need some feedback

    Thanks! I am leaning towards the 32" model as well. As you said, I can always cut it down if it is too tall but it's hard to put height back on it once it is cut. Appreciate the feedback!

    F4 windshield owners - need some feedback

    After a lot of research, reading reviews on this forum, and a few phone calls to windshield manufacturers, I've decided on a F4 windshield for my 2018 Spyder F3-S. I am 6'2" and most of my height is in my legs. I ride with my pegs in the forward most position. They have 28" and 32" models...

    Question about "u fit" system

    I recently took the same class in the Austin, TX area. The F3 models were set to position 3 (the middle position) for the pegs and brake pedal. Being a taller guy, and someone who had already moved my pegs and brake pedal all the way forward, I found it to be a bit cramped with the pegs in the...

    short reach bars for f3--what if i try them and dont like them ....

    Bucketman, I am the same height as you and am considering replacing my bars as well. Are you saying that you brought the handlebars closer to you? Or pushed them further away?

    Question about "u fit" system

    As others mentioned, your mileage may vary with your dealer and whether or not they will add the brake rod and installation into your deal. Mine didn't, but they gave me a discount on the part and labor to move mine all the way forward (I am 6'2" tall).

    F3 passenger seat removal

    Sorry for the dumb question, but you are pushing the key in and holding it in while turning to the seat release position, correct?

    Handlebar options to push the bars away from you (taller rider)

    I saw the post about the shorter handlebars and great improvements to riding. I am in the opposite position - 6' 2" tall and have my pegs in position 1. Has anyone acquired and installed the handlebars with less of a curve which align the handlebars further away from the rider? Is this...

    Baja Ron Sway Bar Review - 2015 F3-S

    This is one of my near-term accessory purchases as well. I mostly ride by myself but had a rider on the back last weekend and immediately noticed how different the Spyder handled with the additional weight. Thank you for sharing your feedback! Glad to hear that it was relatively easy to install.
