• 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.

    Is there a Jack that will raise the Spyder up 24 Inches

    Correct. There were jack stands involved just not in the photo posted. As someone pointed out, the only time the Spyder needs to be lifted this high is while dropping the old bar and inserting the new one. All actual wrenching can be done while on the ground. Actually, if you look closely at the...

    Is there a Jack that will raise the Spyder up 24 Inches

    A Harbor Freight lift with a 2x4 extension works great.

    Is this the first Spyder

    Actually, this was Harley's first attempt. It didn't make it into production though.

    Anyone know the Color-number for CAN AM Red?

    Here's a couple of options - Touchup Direct has exact match Can Am Red in water based rattle cans. I painted the seat cowl with this and it is a perfect match and looks great. If you are only doing a few small parts, Rustoleum Lobster red rattle can spray is a match and inexpensive. I painted...

    F3S Saddlebags

    I sent you a message. The short answer is that the Givi bags don't need extra support.

    F3S Saddlebags

    EZbrackets make mounts that are specific to the F3. They mount on the passenger hand rails and are secured with locks. The bags are easily removable. However, you are on your own as to mounting the bags. I found it a simple job to mount the GIVI bags. It took about 2 hours in the shop.

    F3S Saddlebags

    That depends on your definition of "fit". I mounted a set of Givi soft saddlebags using a set of EZ brackets. I had to make a set of simple backing plates out of 1/4 plywood but the process was pretty easy and they are quick to remove.

    Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

    Sorry, the sisters are taken. You're right, she's a rare find. If you want to annoy her, let her hear you say "my wife won't let me". She didn't "let" me have those bikes. I just bought them. We treat each other like adults,

    First freeway drive

    looks like I am the odd man out here. After riding bikes for 60+ years and that includes dirt bikes, sport bikes, Harleys, vintage, BMWs, trials bikes, everything except big touring bikes, I bought a F3s due to a failing knee. My test ride before buying consisted of a half of mile loop at the...

    Fog Lights

    Original BRP light bezzels are available for about $8 apiece. They fit up just like the blanks. I got mine from Cheap Cycle Parts.

    Wrong Spyder model associated with VIN number

    A VIN search with the NHTSA shows 4 errors in in the VIN number for my 2015 F3s. Only shows as a 2015 Can Am motorcycle. Other than that it does list the engine as 1330cc but I seem to have lost a horsepower somewhere between here and Valcourt, Quebec as it is listed as 114. I had difficulty...

    How many here rode a motorcycle to high school?

    Started riding in the 8th grade on a hand me down 1949 Cushman Roadking which was quickly replaced by a 8hp '59 Cushman Super Eagle. I graduated high school in 1963 and for the last 60 years I have never been without a bike.

    Help!!

    Why is it always the last bolt that strips? When I had that problem, I drilled out the head with a bit the size of the threads. That will remove just the head of the bolt. I was then able to remove the bracket and take the remaining bolt out the backside with a pair of Vice grips.

    Where can I buy Saddlebags for an F3-S?

    If something other than hard bags would work for you, I really have been happy with my Givi bags and EZ Brackets mounting. lots of storage room and in just a few seconds you can bet back to the naked look. /

    F3 mono seat cowl

    Yeah, the lock is total cheese. About the third time I used mine, the little keyhole guard whose main function seems to be to keep you from inserting the key, stuck crosswise across the keyhole. The lock is a standard piece. I think I can replace it with one that works. I'll report back if I do.

    F3 mono seat cowl

    It is compatible with the backrest. Although I don't use one, you can see here where a slot is provided to install it.
