• 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.

    Snow? What snow..

    The things you do for love. In my defense.. it's supposed to be in the 50s this afternoon here in Minnesota.

    Installed the Fender Wiring Harness on my 2019+ F3

    Hey All, As part of some updates to the F3-T, I installed a TricLED Fender Wiring Harness (https://tricledusa.com/collections/spyder-f3-t-f3-limited-lighting/products/oem-wiring-harness-splitter-2019-models). The 2019+ Spyder F3's don't have the turn signal in the mirror anymore and they...

    Spyder ST 2013 Radio - do I have one?

    I looked into this a bit with my 2013 ST. The information I was able to gather at the time is that there is a module that installs under the dash that is missing as well as the physical speakers themselves. So unlike Cruise Control that you can DIY enable with relatively little effort, the...

    F3 Black Painted Plastic Scratches - any fixes?

    I'm not looking for perfection, and I've never been one to prioritize show over go, but I do take a lot of pride of ownership in my toys and the black paint on these things is incredibly soft - more so than any other car/motorcycle/jet ski/quad I have owned (I scratched it with the pad of my...

    F3 Black Painted Plastic Scratches - any fixes?

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one.. I guess? haha My F3T is pearl white and the white seems to either hide the scratches or not be as easily impacted but the gloss black bits are showing a ton of scratches and the bike is less than a year old. I'm thinking about pulling the black plastics and...

    F3 Black Painted Plastic Scratches - any fixes?

    Hey all, Started doing a few thing with my F3T and noticing that the black painted plastics on the spine and around the instruments seem to scratch immediately if you even look at them. I don't know if this is a condition of the paint that they used or lack of a good top coat or what, but my...

    NEW 2021 Spyder F3 LTD - what major differences? Accessories?

    I just upgraded my 2013 ST to a 2021 F3T - hoping to make it out to Deadwood if the stars align. I did a comparison on the RT/F3 and the biggest differences I noted were leg position and overall feel. The RT is very well mannered, almost to the point of feeling a bit numb to me (weight +...

    Updated harness adapter available from TricLED for 2019+ F3 Spyders

    Morning All, As many of you know, BRP changed the way the wiring in the Spyder F3 is accomplished in 2019 related, at least, to the lighting. In 2015-2018 there is a mid-point in the wiring harness under the upper body panels roughly behind the fog lights that you can plug into for accessory...

    Is there a list of F3 changes through the years?? What were they?

    2019 saw a change to the wiring and turn signal links in the F3 as well. 2019+ F3's do not have the same wiring harnesses and plug locations under the body panels as their predecessors.. this can make it tricky if you're looking to add additional marker lights to the bike (TricLED sells a kit...

    Welcoming a new Spyder to my garage - Pearl White 2021 F3-T

    Too cold to ride today.. thought about it.. but warm enough to pull the Spyder out and get a few pictures of it against the snow (had to confine to what I could do at the top of my driveway because with the snow and ice there's now way i'd get her back up the driveway without a pusher)

    Are Used prices incredibly high right now?

    Supply and demand and a lot of people looking for new hobbies in the world of COVID. Spyders are starting to be looked at as a pretty easy entry point for people thinking about a motorcycle-type experience.. There are deals out there private party still but you have to dig for them and be...

    Camera install

    I've also seen some very good initial reviews on the products from Innovv - specifically their K3 model.

    Camera install

    That is the exact unit I have and I would not recommend it. It's several years old but a few people have been listing it as new on Amazon (how I bought into it). According to their site, these are the current products (https://www.blueskysea-inc.com/products/)

    Camera install

    My system would help to defend you in a legal situation (largely why I installed it) - but I wanted to also be able to use it to record specific routes and ride videos and it doesn't even compare to a GoPro in quality for that use.. For example - this is a video shot off of my XB701 - after...

    Camera install

    Have you pulled footage off your camera to your computer at all? I have a Blueskysea XB701 dual camera system on my ST and have not been overly impressed with the video quality - despite settings it always comes out artificially sharp and has required fairly extensive post editing to get it to...

    Welcoming a new Spyder to my garage - Pearl White 2021 F3-T

    Ohh yeah.. she's on the battery tender until the weather gets warmer. I bought both of my Spyders in January in the midwest.. the ST I drove home in 20 degree weather and light snow.. I really wouldn't recommend doing that.

    Welcoming a new Spyder to my garage - Pearl White 2021 F3-T

    Hey All! Parked a friend next to my 2013 Spyder ST last night after 10 hours of some VERY sketchy driving through the snow. 2021 F3-T. Bone stock for the moment. Going to do a few videos with the ST and F3 early this next summer and then the ST will head up for sale.. SUPER excited to get...
