Lamonster F3 Project "Triple Threat"

[Lamonster]

I'll be posting pics here so you can see the progress of the project. Right now it's at the painters for a week just so he can look at it and get some ideas on what we're going to do. I will say it's nothing like it was going to be and maybe that's a good thing. :doorag:

 

[Bob Denman]

Any hints for us??
Are you going to go beyond a nice paint job with this project? :dontknow:
We heard folks talking about needing hitches and rear luggage racks... :thumbup:

You had to put that picture of the red and black RT in there didn't you.

 

[Bob Denman]

You saw that too?

:shocked: MUST RESIST... :shocked:

 

[Oldmanzues]

I have to ask, how long was your ride ? You did not appear to dressed for a long one with that "stuff" on the ground.

A red/black RT looks even better in person. Looked good in a showroom and I think it will look geat in sunlight.
Good luck with the F-3 project

I know it's going to change, but I sure do like that color! That's what I ordered, so it's nice to see it :yes:

Lamont,, have you played with the hitch issue at all ?? It looks as if the stock RT hitch could be made to work by modifying the top locating pads.. I doubt the outer measurement on the stock F3 Axle is different than the rt and it looks to be hollow as well / meaning it might accommodate the hitch bolt that goes though the axle...

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Thanks for the pics. I can't wait to see the progress.

EXCITED TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION

Lamont, thanks for keeping us posted on the progression of the F3 project
I got a chance to see the new F3's last weekend at the Seattle International motorcycle show.
And i am very impressed with the entire evolution of this new model as far as I know there is no other manufacturer that offers the adjustability ( u-fit system ) of the new F-3. I love the new lower seat height as we all know the advantage that the lower center of gravity will have during cornering. I like the direction that they are going with less tupperware and showing off that amazing Rotax triple and the exposed tubular frame.
I was very upset to find out that BRP didn't offer the test rides like they did at other major cities I think they completely missed the boat by not offering the motorcyclist's of Seattle this opportunity there are a lot of people with money to spend on such toys I know the brand is well known in this area there are a lot of people around here that own Sea-Doo's and Ski-Doo's as well as boats with BRP's Evinrude boat motors as well as a lot of Spyder Ryders and growing.
BRP could have easily set up a closed course for the people that don't have a three wheel license that is required in Washington state.
And the people that have a three wheel/sidecar license which many of the older long time riders already have could have went for a little cruise.
I did get on a list with lifestyles to test drive an F3 in late January or February weather permitting.
I would love to have an F3 but already owning two Spyders and not willing to take a bath on a trade in I might have to wait a few years and rack up some miles on the fantastic machines that I presently have. hyea:

I don't think using the stock hitch is the way to go. I have a few idea that I'm pretty sure will work. :doorag:
