Is there an F3 and F3S Bump Skid available?

[campermac]

Does anyone out there know of a bump skid that will fit the 2021 F3 and F3S since both of them now have the sport grill on them and the standard bump skid will not fit.

Thanks

I had a Spyderpops bump skid on my 2019 F3S, which also had the SS style grill with the underside ridges. It attached using longer screws. It did lower the front ground clearance approx 1/2". On occasion it did scrape. In hindsight, I don't know if I'd do it again, even though scraping was very minimal. I removed it and sold it to another forum member. In its place, I installed the Spyder Extras grill guard. The underside attachment braces run front/back, and they mount between the ridges, so negligible loss of ground clearance. A recent 80 mile ride produce no scraping..

Bumpskid fits fine with the SS grille. Just need longer screws.

This was installed on my SS style grill ..

which skid is that and which screws need to be longer and how much longer? I was thinking of a TricLed skid if any of them.

Mine was a Spyderpops. Can't remember how much longer, but likely .25 - .50" ? As far as which ones, all the ones up front.

Got one on my 2019 F3S. It don't scrape any more than it ever did.

Troop,

I can't zoom in enough without it distorting. Did you put any spacers in the front? It kinda looks like there is a gap. On another note, what front tires are you running?

The gap is from the ridges of the SS lower grill. The skidbump is firm against them. No spacers. Tires are Vredestein 165/60R15's
