Test Drove the F3

[bobgeorge]

I went by the local dealer yesterday and test drove the F3. Wow...she has a lot of power and is fun to ride.

My only issue would be wind. Without a windshield the wind was strong.

Windshield options are available. I use a Madstad and it works great.:thumbup:

Is there any major differences between the Madstad and Blueridge windshield?

Ask the dealer to allow you to take it on the highway and see if it is cursed with the highway cruise speed vibration.

I got it up to 60mph. I couldn't feel any vibration....but the wind was tough. A shield would be a must with this vehicle.

+1 on the Madstad

Put a 20" on my F-3 last Friday and then rode about 500 miles in the North Georgia mountains over the weekend. Was worth every penny that I paid for it.
Have one very minor issue. The two bolts that hold the shield brackets to the base plate, at the back, get very close to rubbing on the instrument cluster.........when you get it up to about 80 Mph!:roflblack:

I had the same issue with the back screws and put a 1/2" square piece of rubber I cut from an old radiator hose under each screw. It really stiffened up the whole assembly.
