• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Any experience in buying used bikes/trikes from this dealer in Peoria AZ?

    That bike has some kind of aftermarket front turn signals - not the large factory ones. Also not the factory original front wheels. Just my observations. Bike is same paint scheme as my wife’s ‘15 F3-S.

    May God continue to bless you, Lamont! Can’t begin to tell you how refreshing it is to have *real* customer service from Lamonster Garage - rare these days. And your installation videos for your products are very clear, very straightforward, and very accurate. I would never have tried the IPS...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Rode it 78 miles, then put it up on 3 stacked 2x4’s under each tire and changed the engine oil and filter. Also checked and topped off levels on coolant, brake fluid, and clutch fluid (SM6). Gave the machine a pretty good look-over while it was a little higher off the ground.

    Random thought for the day

    Gwolf - want to thank you for posting the 2 videos on the Angkor temples. I knew nothing of them. Fascinating stuff. Just spent more time watching the videos than paying attention to the football game!!

    Reminder - record your End-of-Year milage for comparison/averages/new goals! And Happy New Year!

    Managed to put 4,157 miles on the F3-S this year. Most of it on a ride to and from the Ozarks this September. Just came back from a 39-mile New Year’s Eve ride to end the year. Gonna start next year with 19,470 miles on the odometer. Hope to get a short ride in tomorrow, also.

    Looking at 2018 F3 S with manual transmission - will I be unhappy leaving an SE5 for an SM6?

    Leon - my wife’s F3-S is a SE, my F3-S is a SM. Personally, I prefer the SM. But be aware, the clutch pull is the stiffest of any bike I have ever owned. Not anything I fret over, but just noticeably more effort required than my Honda CTX1300 that I came off of. That said, I still like the full...

    Most amount of miles/KM you have ridden in one day on the Spyder

    Rode 824 miles on Sept 24th from home in deep South Texas to Clarksville, AR, in 14-1/2 hours. This included 40 minutes waiting out a storm front in Nacogdoches, TX.

    Does anyone know the internal bore size of the OE brake rod?

    Just measured the holes on my ‘17 F3-S. My pegs are on position #3, and the gap between holes for positions #1 and #2 is roughly 2 inches.

    Hello from Texas

    Welcome, from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Looks like your pic was taken at a pull-off on RR337, between Vanderbilt and Medina, maybe?
