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.
Anyone modified an a/mkt Driver Backrest for extended rearward travel? 2017 F3T

Haze, I have the Smooth Spyder backrest on my 2015 F3s, which is quite adjustable for rider or passenger. This is a spendy backrest, but very high quality and easy to adjust, I love how it works for me, and I am 6’2” tall. https://www.smoothspyder.com/f-3-backrest-and-luggage-rack/ You can also contact Jim at SmoothSpyder to discuss your needs.

I've built backrests for a few different Spyders ..... I make the hardware parts and have always preferred using a " backrest " made by UTOPIA .... they are the thinnest, and most adjustable. .... I know your seat is different from the RT ... but a bracket could be sourced or built ..... back when they had the GS models, UTOPIA made backrests for them .... however they said you had to remove the seat cover to do it .... I was able to mount it without doing that ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

I have the Lamonster driver's backrest for my F3. It has an adjustment screw for the backrest position. And it has a sturdy mounting bracket.

If the main 'spine' piece is at an angle such that it just doesn't allow you to sit back far enough, it wouldn't take much to heat it while in a vise and just give it a bit of persuasion and you should be able to reduce the static angle by a few degrees which should translate into more 'sitback' for the rider. If you can, post a pic of the seatback you have and let's see if that wouldn't be possible...
