Hey, all! I have been lurking and reading some SL threads for a while now, so I finally decided to register and post a thread so I can get feedback from the community!
I recently bought a 2019 Spyder F3 base model. My 2021 goal is to go on a 3 day trip with my wife on the Blue Ridge Parkway. However, I first need to add a few things to it, starting with a passenger seat and backrest. There seem to be so many options, and initially I was going to go for the touring package (topcase + saddlebag combo) on sling mods website, but I might want to give the wife a better back rest than the included cushion on that particular luggage combo. So now I'm weighing all kinds of different options, but first...
1. I need advice on whether I should look into the passenger seat conversion kit from Can-Am, or do Ultimate Seat's upgrade for me and for her.
2. Can I move the front pegs back to passenger pegs if I upgrade to the ultimate floorboards?
3. Will a backrest accommodate adding a topcase behind it, or do you have to choose one or the other?
4. What else will I need to consider for getting an F3 base to be a nice little overnight trip pleasure-riding kind of machine for us?
I plan on selling my bike for about $2,000 which will be my budget for Spyder upgrades.
Thanks in advance!
...I don't have a good picture of the trike yet, so here's one of my car
