No, the radiators are still in the same location.

Thanks, I was hoping for a little more storage like on the RT. but the wife just told me
I WAS NOT trading her RTS for it but I could trade my 2015 Victory Cross Country Tour for
one if I wanted to, but unfortunately that's not going to happen now either. But I sure
like the looks of the F3-T in red so I hope they will have them in Daytona for Biketoberfest
so I can at least demo one.

The shifter knob can be adjusted eight different ways. I can't use mine in "position 5" reliably unless I move the knob to the rear and down. It works great there. You have to remove the 5mm hex on the shifter to get the knob out. It is a press fit and very tight so I put a small wedge in the lever arm split to open it up a bit. If you try to remove/replace it without spreading the opening a bit you are in for a lot of work!

I know I,m of topic BUT Thank You!! I had No idea you could move the knob- I obviously wasn't fitted to the bike? When they adjust to position #5 Rods I will have them move the Knob if needed! Thanks again!:clap:

clarification re u-fit please

The F3-T looks really good tho like Canada I'm waiting, not hopefully, for the Oz price. And (I know I've mentioned this before) if Oz only brings the SE6 in the 'Limited' I know the price will be up near the RT! I do hope we get std F3-T in electronic shift.

A question if I may re u-fit.
I know (from husband's F3) that I will need the short reach bars which are listed at about USD150 (so a lot more in Oz) - CAN I just order the F3-T with the short reach bars and not have the original ones at all?? ie if "u-fit" is meant to tailor the bike to me, why does it seem in reality to be "u-accessorise with bits we sell you" --- I'd much rather order the bar as part of the rrp of the bike than have it as an added cost accessory. Same goes for the link bits for the foot position. I hope I've got this wrong, so some clarification sought, please.

Try talking to your dealer about ordering the parts that you'll need to make the bike fit you, and have him take your OEM parts back, in an even swap. :thumbup:

You make a good point. My guess is you would have to bring this up to your dealer. I know the dealers have to buy the controls and they are not part of the package when they order a F3, they all come the same.

They are now saying that the F3 is optimized for a single rider about 250 lb limit. Two up on occasionally and if the rider is heavier or rides two up all the time they should go with the F3-T.
There is a shock upgrade for the current F3 that has more load capacity at a very reasonable price, around $250 I think they said.

Hey Lamont, new guy here and to motorcycle/trike riding in general, looking at buying a a Spyder one day. This point is of interest to me, since I am on the heavy side ( Even with weight loss, I think I'll probably still end up around 225+). And riding two-up is a consideration I do have. Are the upgraded shocks referring to the FOX Podium shocks from Can-Am? Or different one that's not listed on the Can-Am Build and Price tool? Additionally, would all three wheels need shock upgrades, or just front or back?

As for my opinions on the 2016 line up. I like the new RSS colors, that "Gold Wheat" trim looks good. It is now something I'm considering

The ST-S, I'm really not impressed, especially since there's now the F3-T, and I need more a of reason beyond "RS with Footboards, and a factory installed radio kit" to buy it

The F3.... well on one hand, now I no longer have to worry about the question of "huh, do I try turning the F3-S into a pseudo-touring machine one day, or dedicated riding machine". The -S is now clearly better suited for the shorter trips, and riding for the sake of riding, and the -T for the weekend trips/vacations without having to tow it on a trailer to the location.
Of course, they also then had to introduce all the new F3 options and parts, and I kinda like most of the "Bonneville" set up suggestion Can-Am has on their Youtube page (granted, I'd probably skip the silencer and handlebar option). And with most of the options mentioned in that video it looks nice. It also cost at around $30,000 at MSRP :shocked:

The F3-T looks pretty good too. And the inclusion of saddlebags and the ability to add a trailer is something I like. So that's definitely being considered as well

And the RT. Well, I do like the RT-S Special series.

My guess is the F3-T would fit you well. It has a new swingarm that includes an airbag and you'll be able to tow.

Base price is right at $23K

Thanks - just what Jeff's F3S needs - looked in catalogue (thanks for link) and could only find Fox for rear at almost $1K. Maybe it's not in the catalogue yet or maybe I need another breakfast-coffee??

I don't see it in there either but the guy I talked to said in the next couple of weeks it would be available from your dealer.

So now you can use the GPS as MP3 player too.

Hitch and Swingarm

Am I see the pictures right? The round tubular swingarm has been dropped and they went back to a rectangle tube type so that the standard hitch would fit.

Only on the T and Limited model. The hitch looks the same but it's not, different part number.

Got it. Not all F3 can get the hitch.

Is the red version the limited?

Looks like the Intense Red Pearl is both in the F3-T and F3-Limited versions. :yes:

There is a different shade (Can Am RED) on the F3-S version.

pics courtesy Naomi of Ledgewood Powersports - questions - the backrest (white bike) - looks like it swivels to be passenger or rider ?? The Back End (red bike) - is this one standard? looks great

Gotta say it's growing on me, look forward to seeing it some time next year

That looks really good.
