That's what I thought anyway
So there I was cleaning my F3S, and I had removed the Shad bags to gain more access to areas hard to get to
I finished up, and decided to go for a ride. I wasn't in a hurry, but I got suited up and decided I needed to carry a ball cap with me. So I'm looking at the spyder trying to figure out where to put it. In haste I smashed the cap inside the rear seat cowl compartment. When I got to my destination I pulled the squashed ballcap out, and then I realized I had a Frunk I could have used. Lol. I guess I'm still used to 2 wheelers that dont have a large compartment to stash stuff. Some days are just weird I guess. ; -)>
My USCG (1965-1969 ET1 Vietnam Vet) vets hat goes in the top case of my 2018's along with tools and jacket liner and inter jacket when I think it is going to be cold. Lady friends that ride with me put their "stuff" bags in there also. "Semper Paratus"

Hi Dasmoetorhead,
I have a 2023 F3LTD Special Series, I put my cap/gloves and other items in my trunk( the trunk has enough room to store a power pack, helmet, and other items).
At times I still don't have enough room, I just have too much stuff on my spyder.

Ya'll missed the joke, I guess? I have a ton of storage on the F3S - Shadbags, frunk, and under the seat cowl.
Before the ride, my bags were on the shelf in the shop. I forgot about the frunk storage, thinking I was still riding a 2-wheeler with little storage. I was just in a rush and afterwards, I was laughing at myself. I really don't think I even need the Shad bags for my style of riding, but while I had 2 months of idle time waiting for my Spyder to be assembled, I bought all the gear I thought I might need. My Wife said she might go for a ride someday, so I bought all the gear needed for her also. Now she doesn't want to go, and that's fine with me. I prefer to ride solo. I'm considering removing the Shad bag brackets and passenger hand grips, stripping it down if you will?!

I have removed the two up seat and footrests but have left the hand holds and shad brackets on in case I go for a several day ride. The hand hold brackets can be used for lashing something down over the rear seat cowl with a bungee cord if necessary. Less is more in most cases.
I need more storage space
