• 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.

Is there a replacement Storage Trunk for an F3S Passenger Seat? Any pics?

Stupid question.
Did I see a pic here or somewhere else of a replacement storage trunk that replaced the passenger seat to fit a F3S? Not the big high trunk, it looked to be roughly the same dimensions as the removeable passenger seat but it was a hard-shell with a locked cover.
I've looked and searched but with no luck - not that that means much :-).
 
Yes, there is a locking storage unit to replace the passenger seat.
Here is one for sale:

Mono Seat Cowl For F3-S - https://www.spyderlovers.com/threads/driver-seat-and-mono-cowl-case-fits-f3.164553/


Mine came with both. It was advertised as having both the passenger seat and the mono seat cowl provided with the purchase of the new F3-S.
The dealership said that was a mistake and I had a choice of either one. I had copied the advertisement and had it with me. I showed it to them and told them to give me both like they advertised or refund the deposit I had put down on the new F3-S before it was delivered. They decided to provide both just like the advertisement said they would.

It is not a very large storage space, but it will hold 3 or 4 water bottles or a medium size tool pouch maybe. I sometimes swap them back and forth just for a change.

I knew I had seen it somewhere, didn't realize it was here tho. LOL Thanks GW. As for the size, any addition's an improvement with the small saddlebags and the frunk. Wish you were closer... and in the same country LOL, I'd buy it off you...

That is not my advertisement. It is probably still on the forum somewhere. I just remembered seeing it and did a search. I don't really want to sell mine. I don't use it very much. Most of the time I have a ballistic nylon passenger seat bag strapped on the rear seat area, that holds about 10 times what the little cowl cover can.

He may still have that one. He posted that For Sale on August 4, 2025 and added a post saying it was still for sale on September 8.
His Avatar says he is in Idaho.
 
They also make one called the Urban Rack, part 219400493. There are listings for both on EBAY, not cheap though. I have the Urban Rack and it is small, wouldn't hold even 1 water bottle.
 
This is what I keep on the Pax seat most of the time - a Nylon Nelson-Rigg Zip bag. It will hold a full rainsuit, light jacket, and more.
About $100 new. Got 2 zippers around it. One of them expands the vertical height about 3 more inches.

Have you got Amazon.com in Nova Scotia? This is the one I've got strapped on my pax seat; had it since 2019, right after I bought the Spyder. It is kind of sun faded from black to a gray, but all the zippers still work, and nothing is ripping out. It is well built and has heavy duty zippers.
