• 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.

    New F3 Owner waiting for ISCI handbrake

    Update on Hand Brake Well just got off the phone with ISCI and it appears that they are no closer to producing the hand brake kit for the F3 than they were three months ago. My F3 is scheduled to be put together on the 18th with the short reach handle bars, rider floor boards, wind shield, up...

    Ethenol vs Octane

    Filled up our Jeep this morning at the new non ehtenol station here in Boise. They have premium but is only rated at 90 octane. While cost is not an issue it is also much more expensive than the premium at Chevron rated at 92 octane but has ethenol. Just thought I would throw that out and see...

    Fuel Additives

    I start with Sta-Bil in October so if the weather turns bad before I can add it later I am covered. An old farmer got me started using it in the winter.

    F3/F3S - Progressive adjustable rear alternative

    The Elka rear shock on my RS had a remote resevior with a pre load adjustment. The new Fox 2.0 that I will be putting on my F3 also has the remote res with the pre load adjustment.

    Some F3-S info.

    The short reach handlebars and brake linkage was figured into the overall cost of thr F3 when I bought it. The different reach handle bars I think are $149.00 and the linkage is something like $27.00. I really didn't care especially when I consider how much I spent on getting my RS the way I...

    Some F3-S info.

    That is correct. If you want to change the foot peg length you would need to purchase the correct length rod. Also if you want the different handle bars you purchase them as well.

    F3S handling vs RT LTD SE5

    There are a couple of things you might consider before trading. If the front shocks are adjustable see where they are set (they were on the 2011). Kind of sounds like you need to stiffen them up. I think thatthey come stock set at the #3 position and I found it way to soft on my RS. Try...

    ***Elka shock owners please advise***

    On my 2010 RS I started with the sway bar in 2010 then put on the elka's in 2011, in 2013 i did the relocater blocks and finally in 2014 had the laser allingment done. I will say tht each step of the way I saw an improvement in handling. There were a lot of other things I did along the way...

    New F3 Owner waiting for ISCI handbrake

    Thanks for all the photo's. I do have good hand strength so that should not be a problem. Also we have an adaptive company here in Boise that does van conversions etc... so could get them to help me out. I was thinking that I could lessen the effort by moving the cable attachment point up...
