F3 Spyder Backrest and Turn signal lighting.

[Annamarie]

I'm searching for a backrest for the drivers seat of my 2015 F3. Thank you all for responding to my saddlebag request, I connected with a gentleman and purchased his. I'm "Just" beginning to get my Spyder set up the way I need to ride in a manner I feel most safe and comfortable. Darn this is going to be an expensive hobby! It's making me feel more alive than I had ever dreamed. Each day of life I have is one more than I was ever anticipating and my Spyder is opining incredible doors of joy. I am looking for your opinions and recommendations for a drivers back rest as well as more visible turn signal options for my F3. All your suggestions are greatly appreciated and any used accessories for sale are terrific. Thanks so much, Annamarie

Backrest

Depending if you occasionally ride with a passenger you might want to consider the SmoothSpyder backrest. Once attached it can be used for the rider or passenger. I love mine. For turn signal lighting try Spyderpops or Tricled. All three of these vendors are on the home page.

^^^^ This is the backrest that I plan on getting soon. My wife has only ridden on my F3 1 time. She will start riding more once I get this. When she does not ride for me I can adjust it for single use. And its cheaper than the Can am backrest.

I don't have a backrest for you but here's our lighting options.

I've actually been very happy with the BRP backrest on my F3. And I use it with a Russel Day Long seat.

The versatility of the SmoothSpyder backrest is unparalleled!! My wife loves it and there's nothing like being able move move it into position for me to use when she's not on board!!!

SmoothSpyder!!! One of the times that a delay in shipping by BRP paid off. I had ordered the factory backrest when we ordered our F3. Got the bike but the backrest was back ordered. During Bike Week in Daytona I saw the SmoothSpyder backrest that Jim was working on. He let me sit on his bike and try it out in both the driver and passenger position. First thing Monday morning I called my dealer and canceled the order for the factory backrest.

Im a solo rider & it makes all the difference on my ST & Jim is great guy will talk you thru mounting hassles if any. Swapping positions with out tools is genius & built right in. Also holds my Flag some spyders have problems finding good way to do that fyi. Lighting there are lots of options, you will have to find what you like. & come on to spyderfest see what others have done. Meet, greet &enjoy some tricLed lights on F3 fyi

Hi there.... Unfortunately I couldn't see any attachment. The Spyder is for me. You see, I've exceeded my life expectancy and every day is truly a gift. This Spyder is the first gift I have ever allowed myself. I'm loving every breath and every mile. My husband is encouraging me to go whenever possible. Jokingly, I "let" him drive the other day and I rode on the back. OMG.... I hung on to the sides and felt like a bobble-head. I certainly understand your wife for not riding until you get a back rest. I would like a little more support for myself when I drive but I won't be having a passenger very often. "If" I do have a passenger or if I ride on the back again, I think a drivers back rest will give me something to hold besides the side rails or my husbands back....remember, I say with a smile...this Spyder is MINE. (He gets his golf cart) Anyway, if you can either send me a pic or send me the company name, I'd be most appreciative. The Can-Am removable rest is just sooooo expensive. My web-page is annamarieibrahim.com thanks again...Happy Riding.

Utopia, www.utpr.com, 888.343.3320, makes a nice built in back rest @ $225.00 and the pad matches the stock seat. They also offer it so it can be removed if needed.
