F3T and F3Limited mirror fix! The Wedgie!

[cptjam]

The more people who insist on a new mirror, the more BRP might take a look at a redesign. Meanwhile, the F3T and LTD has needed Wedgies for 5 years. We have hundreds of sets out, and they work. The solution for the RT is coming. I have to get home, first!

Hi Joe

I just bought a 2017 F3 Limited, I would like to order wedgies for my mirrors. I can't believe how much the mirrors vibrate/shake.

 

[ulflyer]

Does the "wedgie" fix require removing the mirrors?

 

[cptjam]

Pm me to order.
No, the fix is simple; no mirrors get removed.

 

[Tec35]

Joe thank you!:bowdown: It was a quick/easy install for the wedgies and no more shaking. I can actually see the vehicles in the mirrors. Great product thanks again!

Hi,
Yes, just 1 screw. The cover just pulls off, then the screw. Very simple. Joe

wedgies

Yes,
we include pictures of the installation. We did a set today, and first had to dig out foam, double sided tape, and who knows what else! I’m really thinking we figured this out. Wedgie equipped Spyders now have thousands of miles on them, vibration free! Best $25 you can spend on a Spyder!! Joe

How do i get these Joe? having a lot of shaking on my 2018 F3T

How about just posting the web site where we can see the product? Especially in this current climate, there are too many rabbit holes in the intar-web. Post up a few pics of the product, maybe a vid of you installing them on someone's bike, or something more tangible than "hey, spend $25 and you'll get this amazing product which we can't show you"... I get you want to keep overhead down, but I've seen enough cases of "vaporware" over time to know better than to buy something sight unseen - and it doesn't matter how many "satisfied customers" you get to bolster your claim - those are just as easy to fab up... I'm really interested to see this, because I have heard that the mirror issue does exist. I've also seen a few products that claim to put a stop to it. I have not experienced the issue, but if I can circumvent it for a little coin, I'll do it. But not without seeing it... Thanks.

Hey chunkmonk, the Squared Away Team are out doing the BRP Spyder/Ryker Western Demo Tour, (in San Jose atm, I think?? Or was that last weekend?? :dontknow: ) so they might not be checking in on this thread all that often, so it's probably best that you just send a PM or email to cptjam, he's a long term vendor here on the Forum (the Black username is the give-away on that, just like the Green username is the give-away for Moderators ) - and there's little doubt these things are more than just 'vaporware', cos he IS STILL a vendor here! hyea:

If you click on his username alongside any of his posts, you'll see the links for sending a PM (Private Message) or email; or if you go to the Forum Home Page & click on the Squared Away Logo in the list of Supporting Vendors, it's down towards the bottom of the page under the heading Spyder Performance & Suspension, that'll take you direct to the Supporting Vendors Forum & the Squared Away thread. :thumbup:

Chunkmonk - I installed them on my '18 F3 Limited (only takes a few minutes) and they work like a charm.

 

[fredgal]

i took 2 pieces of 1/4 x 1/4, 2 in. long foam and wedged them where its loose and fixed mine.

 

[chunkmonk]

Why don't you post a picture of what you installed so we can at least see the product since the vendor seems reluctant to do so?

Bought a set for my wife for Christmas. When they came in the mail yesterday i was very surprised at how simple it is, and also realize why you can't find a picture of them anywhere. They would be too easy to reproduce / replicate at home. I was hoping for something more engineered, but if it fixes the issue it's worth it I reckon...

Got mine in! Went to install them and couldn't quite figure out where they went, might want to make a clearer pic on the instruction page.
Saw the video and AH ha! thats where they go! Awesome product, no more bad vibes!!

. It isn’t the easiest place to take a picture, black hole that’s why we did the video. Glad you like them

Nothing to see. A piece of HDPE. The size and shape and installation is what took quite a while to determine. Invisible once installed, except your mirrors are rock solid. I shared a picture last year, and my solution was promptly copied. You can work on your own solution, but doubtful you'll rack up tens of thousands of miles in testing, refinement, modification, fine tuning and then have a dozen strangers beta test it. You are welcome to try, or, buy a proven solution; The Wedgie!

For anyone that is on the fence about getting the wedgie, GET OFF THE FENCE AND GET A SET!!! If you think it's hard to install, YOU'RE WRONG! I made an install video to show how incredibly easy it is to install the Wedgie! You can view it here: Installing "The Wedgie" on a 2019 Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited. Now go support Joe and Ann and get your own wedgie! They just plain work.

We did a bunch at Red Rock Spyder ryde in this weekend. Had a guy tell us he copied my design! He was all set! While I did not slap him silly, I wanted to. It took a lot of trial and error to come up with a proper fix. Nuke was trying to help, publishing a you tube video, but the result was a guy stole my intellectual property, and was comfortable with being a thief. My designs are not public! I do try to help everyone , but I do run a business. I can’t afford to give away my solutions. If your mirrors shake, give me a call. You need a wedgie. A Squared Away wedgie. Thank you! Joe

Chunkmonk, if you read the thread, you should realise TWO things -

1. cptjam has explained exactly why they aren't too keen on supplying pictures, & that's without even mentioning the bad publicity their product might get from others selling sub-standard clones; and

2. With over 250 posts in this thread alone, it's should be obvious that the members here who have bothered to try them are pretty much unanimous in thinking that these Wedgies are actually a value for money option/fix that quite simply just WORKS! :lecturef_smilie:

So this leaves YOU with only two options -

1. bite the bullet & buy a set of these things that everyone else thinks are well worth the $$ so you can make up your own mind about them; or

2. just leave your mirrors vibrating away and stop harping on about anyone posting pics when it's already been explained why that isn't likely to happen! :lecturef_smilie:



Enough already! :gaah:

Wow, just saw this! Thanks, Pete! I’ve PMed Chunkmonk. Sorry to have caused such a problem! As Pete mentioned, I’m working for Can Am. SpyderAnn and I like to think we are honest and genuine. I suppose I could somehow create hundreds of satisfied customers (thousands, if you count our other things), and somehow insert “SquaredAway” in people’s signature. I just don’t know how. We just ride and fix Spyders. We appreciate all of our friends and clients. On this tour, every week, folks we met or worked with or rode with come out to see us. That’s how we roll!
