• 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.

Nelson Rigg

Wife and I use Nelson Rigg “full cover for an RT”on our F3S’s and she has a top case on hers. It fits all the way around and goes to the ground almost. It is prolly 3 inches from touching the ground yet fully covers fenders, floor boards,rear tire and fender, AND even has a windshield pocket where the top of windshield is used as an extra kind of retaining hold. It actually fits nice and snug and has removable bungee cords on the sides if needed. There is a heat shield built into it where the muffler is and it has vents on the underside near where the handlebars are. Has 5 year warranty too.

I don't think it would work.
I too recently purchased a new 2017 F3T-L, and had a cover left for my 2012 RTS, they are no way even close to the same size - didn't fit.
2017's have the top case...

If you tow it though, there is an excellent cover that Can-Am sells (or eBay or Amazon)

Can't tell you about the RT covers; others have said they won't work.
Can tell you about the 'trailering cover' for the F3L (T) with top case. This is a lined, heavy duty (somewhat bulky) cover with tie down straps meant for the extra strain involved in towing. Part # 219400768. It will generously cover your Spyder F3L, including top case, with hole for antenna. If you have added arm rests, there are zippered pockets which expand to fit over them. This cover easily fits over the short, stock OEM windshield, and also has another zippered expansion pocket to allow it to fit over the higher 'tall boy' shield. Probably would also fit over a Madstad shield with similar profile. However, if you have switched to anything wider, such as F4 or CalSci shield, the zippered pocket is unlikely to be big or wide enough to fit down properly over the front of your bike. At least, that was my experience. This is a bulky cover when folded; not really ideal for use as a light, overnight seat/bars/dash cover, unless you have lots of storage room to carry with you. Also runs about $250 so, if you want something lighter and cheaper for quick on/off temporary cover, maybe the Nelson-Rigg at 1/3 rd the price is the way to go.
