lights, brakes

I will chip in here briefly - to fix the fact that indicator alerts are invisible in daytime we added little led's to the mirror, where I (rider) can see them, easy and effective. And maybe other drivers (and grandson pillion) can see them too!
Re hand brake levers - the LACK was why I bought the Spyder (carpal tunnel) - maybe BRP may consider offering a hand brake kit as an ($$) optional extra, if there really is a demand, but I would hate to see it added to all models! Old cruiser riders are generally used to using the foot brake... and they're great brakes.
Still waiting on the F3 in Oz so no comment about the heated grips switch!
All good comments, and thanks for the video.

I will try to talk to my dealer about it as well, coz I dont have all the necessary equipment at home to do it.

Hey Martin,
Maybe this is helpful for you... There's a German company that produces really nice additional handbrakes for the RS. Maybe their system can be modified for the F3 (maybe they are working on a solution for the F3?).
Here is the URL :

After all Germany is closer to Slovakia than the US

mirror led

Martin, there are a few options around. We used this one - with a bit of imagination as ST mirrors are different to RT mirrors. We put it across the top so I can see it easily. Length was fine.
Tricled RT mirror indicators This add on piece is designed so discreetly that it just tucks up above the mirrors or below the mirror housing and taps into your mirror wires so there is no loose wires crossing over into the bike. It is all self contained in the mirror itself. Visually see your blinkers when flashing and allows other motorist to see your flashers from the rear and the side for greater visibility. These turn signals are mounted higher than your factory rear signals making it much more visible when the flashers are on. Specifically design and length to fit the RT mirrors discreetly.

Comes in pairs, 1 left and 1 right. $77 a set inc GST [ie Australian dollars]
