• 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.

Got her today.

I ordered my F3-S way back in January. Crate showed up last Friday. The dealer called and told me the fog lights are on back order but they have everything else. He wanted to know if I wanted to wait for the fog lights or have them assemble it now and bring it back later for the lights. I thought he was kidding. Build my bike damn-it!

So, today I got my F3 (sans fog lights) and went for an 80 mile joy ride. It was difficult saying goodbye to my 2010 RSS... but wow, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am in love again.

I also added the removable saddle bags to the deal. I need beer transport space.

Coming soon will be the Tricled front and rear fender leds.

Pics will follow.

Congrats! I originally went into the dealer expecting to buy a used cruiser but fell in love with the F3. So going save a lil bit more. What did you pay out the door for yours? Anyone get any deals?

Tricled, the last time I checked, only offered fender LEDs for the F3 and not the F3-S. Do they have then ready for the F3-S???

I'll check again but I am pretty certain the F3 and the F3-S share identical fenders. Heading out for some wind but I'll look up the part numbers when I get home.

Unfortunately different fenders - pretty sure LEDs only for F3. F3-S fenders are cut on a slant, where F3 is straight across - like my 08' RS. Which is why their previous model LEDs work for F3.

I'll talk to Adam at my dealer and see what he says, but looking at the pictures, the reflectors are the same size and shape. Even if the fender itself is different, as long as the reflector LED replacement is the same size and shape of the OEM, it should work. I just walked back out and looked... my reflectors look exactly like the ones on the tricled site.

The F3-S has the same fenders as the top trim lines for the other models with the exoskeleton fender reflectors and LED front light. The light kit for the other models with that fender will work on the F3-S. I've installed the Custom Dynamics LED fender Brightsides. Tricled has a similar kit. Today, I installed the Custom Dynamics fender TIPS kit, which turns the fender lights into turn signals, as well as running lights.

That is great news - I'll give him another try - I emailed him because on his website he lists the F3 and not F3-S - his response is that he is working on one for the F3-S - maybe it is connector difference - I don't know??

Is below what you installed on your F3-S? Is it plug and play or did you use something like posi-taps?


on his website he lists " Custom Dynamics® Amber BRIGHTSIDES™
Fits: 2008-2015 RS Models, 2008-2012 RS-S Models, 2010-2015 RT, 2010-2012 RT-S, 2013-2015 ST, 2015 F3"
