• 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.

    Thanks for the advice and the memories

    For the past couple of years, I made this Forum one of my daily reviews since I owned a 2015 F3S as a second trike to my three Harley Tri Glides owned sequentially. Although I very much enjoyed the Spyder, my preferred ride were the ever improving Tri Glides. The Can-Am had much less further to...

    Why I cannot sell my 2015 F3-S Spyder

    We are moving to a home with 2 less garage spaces (down from 4) than I currently have and was considering selling the F3-S Spyder. When I looked at all of the cool farkles that I had on the trike that make it uber comfortable and the fact that 6 months ago I had a left hip replacement that made...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    I am wondering with the ABS if flushing the 3 year-old fluid on my 2015 F3S is doable at the house without special tools/equipment? Thanks for the help and heads up.

    Did My Own F3S Oil Change

    Well, After having watched Lamonster's video and the other threads on this site related to Rotax 1330 oil changes, I was due for my annual oil change within the next couple of weeks and decided to do it this morning before the rains came to North Florida. It is kind of interesting how...

    Love my F3S and my Tri Glide Ultra

    Very weird thing owning two very different trikes. When I am on my F3S Spyder, it feels like the most sensational trike in the world given that I have finally modded it to the point that it is comfortable. Then... I jump on my Harley Tri Glide with the new M8 engine and just enjoy the...

    Taking the F3-S Cross Country

    In April, I have decided to load my tricked out 2015 F3-S onto my Drop-Tail trike trailer and head out West. I plan to use my Honda Odyssey tow vehicle set up with a Cabella cot for about 80% of my sleeping quarters activities. I plan to camp in some State and National parks as well as other...

    2015 Can-Am Spyder F3s vs 2017 Harley Tri Glide Ultra

    I posted this update yesterday to the Triketalk group. Many of the issues I have had with the F3s SM6 is that it has been difficult for me to get a really comfortable riding position. I had to add Can-Am floorboards, Cannonball seat, BRP rider backrest, grip puppies, F4 windshield and even an...

    Can-Am F3-S vs Harley Tri Glide for Fit

    It has been an interesting journey owning both a 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3-S and a 2016 Harley Tri Glide Ultra. There is about a $14k difference in price but I swear, I had to spend a bunch to fit myself to the Spyder in comparison to the Tri Glide. I have a deteriorating left hip from injuries that...

    Finally Fitted my F3-s to enjoy the ride

    Since getting my F3-s and having ridden it only 1800 miles. I was about to give up and had it up for sale because it was exacerbating a hip/butt problem I have from an old injury. Well, after a TON of experimentation and adding farkle after farkle, I think I have it about as dialed in as I will...

    Trying to install F3 Floorboards

    Man, I hate that I have a demonstrator F3-S that had the footpegs moved likely several times to accommodate different U-Fit positions. I went to install some BRP floorboards and in the process of removing the two bolts that hold the peg on the frame tube, one of them was so over-torqued that the...

    Competition for Curve Carving with My F3-S

    I originally purchased my Can-Am Spyder F3-S to be a compliment to my Harley Tri Glide which I liken to a "Barco Lounger" of a trike. In the intervening time, I acquired a well-built kit car that unfortunately will "blow the doors" off the F3-S (neither the F3 or the Brunton have doors)...

    Doc's Spyder Aligment in Folkston, GA is fantastic

    Travelled almost 3.5 hours this morning to get to Doc's Spyder Alignment in Folkston, GA. Dave "Doc" Cochran was absolutely terrific when it came to dialing in the alignment on my 2015 F3-S using the True Laser Track system today. He is also expert at belt alignment and tension and used a very...

    First Use of a Krikit II V-Belt Tension Gauge

    I have been reading some of the threads on this forum about belt tension and decided that I ought to know how to use a Krikit II V-Belt Tension Gauge (Part# 91132). For about $30 off Amazon, I acquired one and used it for the first time after reading the instructions that came with the gauge...

    The Differences Between Complaining and Whining

    I will have to admit that as a mental health type, I have developed a short fuse for whining. Not complaining, but whining. Now I don't normally consider Psychology Today as a refereed journal source but found a post by Paul Winch, Ph.D. on October 10, 2012 to be illuminating in helping me...

    F4 Customs 28" Windshield on My F3-S is the Bomb

    I know that the subject of windshields and their utility sometimes brings out strong feelings in both directions about the need for one and the lack of need for one. My naked bike/trike days seem to be well behind me. I did enjoy riding my new-to-me 2015 F3-S without a shield after having...

    Can't figure out which way the wheels should go?

    I posted this originally on the Triketalk forum as I have been playing with a Harley Tri Glide Ultra but felt like I was only experiencing half the fun factor in the trike equation. OK, I am blaming all of this nonsense on Trikermutha! Sorry but somebody has to be the fall guy Here I started...
