Ufit Foot Peg Position

[ARtraveler]

Interesting discussion. It would be good to know the facts as to whether or not the customer adjustments to make the F3 "yours" do come as part of the initial set up. This would be the logical way to do things. But then...?

Here is what the BRP page says about U-Fit

Spyder F3 - A custom fit for every rider The exclusive Spyder F3 UFit system lets you precisely position the pegs
according to your height and choose the handlebar based on your preferred
riding style—ensuring a truly customized riding experience.

I am not getting who pays for this though.

I'm getting the impression that it depends on the dealer because I have heard of some people getting at least the linkage included with no extra cost -- not sure about the handlebars.

I had to pay for my #4 linkage (at a nicely discounted price) and my "attitude handlebars" too, also at a discounted price. Anywhere that I made a change, they did send the original parts home with me, so I have my "stock" brake linkage hanging on the garage wall, and the "stock" handlebars are in a box up in the rafters of the garage. Since I was one of the first people to get the F3, it was before the U-FIT dummy even got to the dealership. If I were to get an F3 now, I'd be sure to try out the U-FIT dummy before I took delivery.

Great Fit

Yeah I think I'll go with 5! Thanks for all the input guys!

My dealer fited me when I bought, before delivery. I'm 6'2" and five fits me great. I can lean on both sides when it's needed to straighten out a twisty.

I am 6ft and got #4 for the you fit. My dealer installed it for me, no extra charge

I was a motorcycle dealer for quite some time and can't imagine a dealer swapping out handlebars for free. Truth be told I would be very surprised if they even had all the options in stock.

They don't. I had to order the handle bars I wanted as well as the rods to adjust the pedels. I am sure that some dealers either builds the cost into the sales price or just eat the cost. The black handle bars are only about 149.00 and can't remember what the rods cost.

hey Spyder folks page 55 of 2015 RIDING GEAR ACCESSORIES GENUINE PARTS
catalog has the facts and prices on the Handlebars & linkages and anything other than the stock pegs and bars comes with a added cost as they say the devil is in
the details. Hats off to the Dealers that are incluiding the ufit in with the deal
these parts are pretty inexpensive 29.99 for the F3s brake rod and 49.99 for the shifter rod are any of the dealers throwing in different Handelbars that is part of the ufit system ?
just the facts man just the facts

As I said, during the CanAm demo rides, they tell you the initial fit is included in the price of the bike. The rods in the catalog are for second owners or refits for different riders.

Any dealer charging extra for the initial fit is just tying one more new way of getting in the pocket of the uninformed buyer.

They didn't show me the fit system until the bike was already loaded on the trailer but at the time I thought the bike felt pretty comfortable. But now I realize that my legs are too close. 6'0" calls for position 4 and 6'1" calls for position 5. I am exactly 6'0" so I'm wondering if I may be even more comfortable with position 5

I'm 6-1, used to be 6-2. Went to position 5 and honestly could still be an inch further forward, but much more comfortable than original position. I asked by dealer about the "u-fit" system that supposedly every dealer has. I was told, "Yeh, we have one around here somewhere". WTH?

Perfect!

I'm 6'2" and position 5 is perfect for me....I have the driver floorboards with the Manual transmission as well. Sadly, I had to purchase the extensions but heck, they aren't expensive.

I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. Position 5 is great. I have the "attitude" bars. They really make a huge difference. Your wrists are turned out more. Very comfortable. Very easy to install. I paid for my fitting parts. (If anyone needs stock bars and linkages for cheap let me know!)

POWERSPORTS

MY DEALER DIDN'T ONLY 'FIT ME' WITH THE PROPER LENGTH BRAKE ROD, BUT THEY ALSO LET ME KEEP THE ROD THAT FITS AT THE MIDDLE POSITION...
I TOO AM 6 FEET TALL, AND THE MOST FORWARD POSITION FITS ME VERY WELL....

Yes. Started with position 5 and I am just on the south side of 6'.

My dealer ordered the "5" brake rod for me so I could ride their demo. I'm hoping when I buy mine they will move it over to the new one and not charge me. We'll see.

Hi.

I'm 6' 2" tall and have the pegs set at position 5 but find the standard handlebars a little uncomfortable when 2 up. I've looked at the Can Am website and for this position it suggests either bars C or D.

Does anyone have these bars and what is the difference?

Thanks

Ant

You probably want the "long reach" or "attitude" bars. I have the "attitude" bars and they make a huge difference. The "attitude" bars position your wrists at a more comfortable angle, too.

 

[vondalyn]

I'm 5' 6.5" and I have the attitude bars. I find the angle better on my wrists/arms than the stock bars.

After a week I finally gave up on my dealer ever getting the longer rod so I called around and found a dealer with all sizes in stock and every color of F3-S on the floor. They installed the rod so I could test ride it but did charge me for it when I bought the the trike. After waiting a week I didn't care, I just wanted to ride.
