New F3S owner question

[Fossil Rider]

Good day all, i have a question for you.
With my manual and CD there were two 3M protection squares about 3 inch by 3 inch. What are they for.

Also new to the Spyder, been riding for 46 years. Must say the F3S is very comfortable. debating which gps mount I am going to use and which windshield.
I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the F4 windshield mount on the F3S. There sight doesn't really show a picture. The can am one looks good but you can't just buy the mount.

:welcome: and :congrats: on your F3S. You might want to "click" on "Forum" and scroll down till you see "Spyder F3-Hotrod/Cruiser." Then "click" on that and it will take you to all sorts of posts/threads regarding this GREAT BIKE. This forum has anything and everything on the F3. One thread in particular addresses the many windshields available. Hope this helps.

I believe that the 3M squares are intended to be placed on the side of the Spyder where you likely will kick it when mounting/dismounting.

3m protector tape

I placed mine on the tubing frame where I have the foot boards so that I don't scuff or damage the paint with my shoes or boots.

F4 vented is great - it is on my F3T though - see pic. I am 5'8" tall
you would love grip puppies for your hand grips.
I thought the 3x3 squares were for the gas tank to minimize rub damage from clothing or boot scuffs getting on and off the spyder. ???

:welcome::congrats: on the new ryde!! I have the F3S Daytona and just LOVE it! I also heard that those squares go where you put your feet. I bought the blue ridge and it really wasn't high enough for me. Looking at maybe something from F4...

Get the 2 up occasional shock. You will be glad you did.

3x3 3M protective squares?

Nothing like that found in my manual..... (Also a D-500 SE6)

Anyone know why F4 does not make a vented shield for the F3S?

From memory, this was discussed quite a while ago, they were actually for placing on the panel where the passenger footpegs fold up, as when they are up they touch and rub on the panel. I just leave the pegs down, and used the squares on the tank until I got my Tank Graphics from Wrapmyspyder.

Just curious, is this THE Can-Am reason for these 3M squares??? It seems odd to me that there is nothing provided in the printed materials. pps:

You don't need a vent, the bottom of the windshield is well clear of the bodywork. That's the venting. The Blue Ridge for BRC is the same way.

***Thank you for your reply.***

That's interesting!!!

I loved the CD.
1. Check your pressure
2. Read the Safety Card
3. Check your pressure
4. remain alert of your surroundings
5. Check your pressure

I think someone was on drugs when they produced the CD.

Those 3M squares are for the frame rails near your feet so that you dont scrape them up.

Just curious - is that spelled out somewhere?

Yes this is correct they were never meant to go on the panels:banghead:

 

[TRLBLZR1]

Hmmm, I never received any 3m squares. All f3's are supposed to come with them?
