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.

Of course they will.

Will this be an after-market accessory you'll be selling to F3 owners?

I sat on one and talked to a regional factory rep to day because they had the new trailer there also. Said factory will not have one this year but will have one next year. I am sure it will read factory hitch is the only hitch that does not void the warranty.

Makes more sense to go with the trailer for $2,900 over the WALLET sized side bags.. Looks like I'll be holding on to my 622 for awhile

I would like a hitch on the F3 also. I have a trailer. So a hitch would help a lot.:2thumbs::roflblack:

We already knew that!
the question becomes: When will the OTHER F-3s get "hitched-up"?

Looks like a Uni-Go trailer / they are great!!! I had one I pulled behind my 04 FJR 1300...
I didn't know they had a Spyder hitch / Something ELSE to think about... It would hold enough stuff too
These are Australian made. http://madmaxtrailers.com
They come very highly recommended. If they work that well on a bike they'll be no
problem on a Spyder......might just be one of the solutions for the lack of storage space on the F3. :doorag:
FWIW These trailers have 250 liters/60kg capacity which is a lot and you can wheel them into your hotel room
as they'll go through a standard door!

There's one in Des Moines, Iowa, that looks like the one in Jeff's link. It's $1000!

OK....so last night I emailed the Australian company which makes the trailer.
I got a reply this morning!
Here it is:
G'day Geoff, Delighted to hear from you mate. ^_^
At present there is only one Spyder that is set up and towing one of our trailers. The owner's name is Stephen Landman of Albury-Wodonga in Victoria, Australia. He has posted 6 demo videos of his Spyder & Mad Max Motorcycle Trailer on his YouTube Channel. (Which is the video above....OJ)
Stephen had his guys create the Spyder subframe mounted towbar that you see him using.
Personally, I strongly-favour the development and use of a Swingarm-axle area mounted towbar, which pivots vertically there, on bushes on a Rod that passes through the Spyder's hollow axle. A twin spar towbar will pass around the Spyder's rear wheel, and will feature a horizontal pivot at its rear centre area. This system is currently already being successfully used by two other single wheeled trailer manufacturers.
Price wise we are planning to keep our trailer's retail price down under AUD$3000. Freight and handling will be an additional amount.
Very impressed with the response time, bearing in mind that he replied on a Sunday!
I've always liked the way the Aussies run their businesses. Great service and no BS!
You ask for the price and they tell you.....without inventing an artificially low price to which extras must be added as is the case so often elsewhere.
Anyway, there you have it and I think it's a cracking trailer. Good capacity, very well made, and can be wheeled into your motel room when you're
touring! :thumbup:

Cute! I wonder if he realized his pun?

I can see now that is quite different from the one I saw on Craigslist. It's a nice-looking trailer. With needing a different hitch for the Spyder, is it that much better than a 2-wheel trailer that can be used with the OEM hitch?
