2015 F3-S
My wife is about 5'4 and she got the spyder in fall. She kept saying the reach did not make her feel safe and she hated the pegs and wanted boards. So this winter I installed boards and she sat on it last night and said my F3 (2015 as well) felt so much better. I kept looking at the floor boards and they are in the same position (I am 5'9). I like the feel of her handle bars much better and never put it together because mine has a radio bar on the handle bars but we have different handle bars. I believe hers are stock and I have short reach on mine... they are much closer to the rider.
This is a loaded question as well and not sure if this info matters but I bet it does!
I have the manual and she has a SE. I have heated grips and she does not. Those are the big differences.
I do want to get her heated grips, we both want them as we live in Wisconsin.
How hard is it to swap handle bars on a spyder? I have done it before on a Honda Shadow and Yamaha VStar so i have a little experience, but have never removed/added heated grips.
I do want to take both in this spring for oil change, inspection, etc.... and could have the dealer do it if it's that hard, but I do like to tinker myself and save some $$
Was curious the thoughts from anyone who knows about swapping or has done them. If I do swap them, I will make sure to add heated grips to the whole setup. Thank you!
