• 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.

'22 F3 Base - any ideas on Mounting racks for bags?

Hello peoples, in a dilemma here. I’m trying to mount a lamonster ips rack and the Shad 3p mount system. I have a 2022 f3 base. So I do not have the grab bars and do not want them as my bike is being kept for a solo rider. But I do want the luggage ability. The lamonster rack states for use with all f3 models but my bike has different plugs on the back. Leaving me with quite the gap. Any ideas on what I should do? Picture below to see what I’m talking about.
Thank you.

Are you talking about the gap between the shad bracket and the frame or the gap around the ips mount and the stud? Its been awhile since I mounted the shad brackets, but I think I had to draw the brackets in tight with the bolt. If you want to talk about it let me know and i'll PM you my #

So my F3 Base has these nubs and not the hand grab bars. The nubs don’t exactly fit the rack. I believe they will with the Shad mount but I’m trying to use both a rack and side saddle bags.

I used Lamonster's bungee buttons in place of those rubber pieces. There was still some space, but they held the IPC rack in place.
