Glad to help out! :thumbup:
I've been keeping about a half of an eyeball on their site; waiting for it to show up.

... and I'm just a "Bob"

I wonder if it is possible, on an F3, to bring the knee angle closer to the 87 degree angle of the ST without the right foot ending up too far from the brake pedal.
It looks as if it might also reduce the hip angle (I'd rather increase it) due to the low seat.

You'd just need to use the pedal and peg mounting locations, for someone with shorter legs...
(Position 1, or 2)

And now I'm back to playing around with the Build and Price tool on Can-Am's website some more.

Ok, aside from the creature comforts/touring additions for the ST, any internal or mechanical differences between the ST and RS. Looking at the specs page and options, seems like they're pretty much the same, just that ST's electronic controls are set up to also ride with the trailers. And upgrades or parts you can all recommend for those as well?

The more I look at the F3, the more it seems that it would be best if I keep it simple at first (passenger Backrest, fog/auxiliary lights, GPS), and then after riding for a while, decide what way to upgrade it. I see the upgrades for the shocks as well, are those recommended?

My advice the last few years is to start out without a lot of accessories (farkles). Put about a thousand miles in and then see what you think may improve your ride from that point. Sometimes, people find out that a particular farkle was a waste of money for them.

Yup! :thumbup:
Flavor it to taste; after it's come up to a boil a few times.
Just like the best stews!
