• 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.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Thanks so much for the info. Looks like my day tomorrow is laid out for me.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    I bought the bike used (with 3000 miles) and it was totally stock. I have added fog lights, a Pedal Commander, front and rear LED lights, a USB connector, and front and rear dash cams. I'll go back thru all the wiring to double check everything before I call the guy in Riverside. I didn't touch...

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Thanks for the info @UtahPete. This morning, I tested the fuse block and I was not getting power to the fuses. That was with the key turned on or off. I'll check with the person whose info you gave me and see what he can do.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Thank you. I'll look into that. It's about 50mi from me but I can give him a call.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    The DESS was one of my thoughts also. I guess I can call the dealer and see if they will do it or find someone local (SoCal) who has BUDS and I can pay them to do it. Thanks for your response. Yeah, charged the battery as soon as I got it. Also, checked the kill switch. Learned the hard way to...

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Last week my 2018 F3T decided to give me starting problems. It started with a "Check Key" notification. I took the key out, walked away for about 5 minutes and when I tried to start it again, I got a check engine light. After this, it started. Took it for about a 1 hour ride. Stopped and it did...

    Total Loss of Engine Power at 65 MPH on Busy Freeway, All My Fault! Kill Switch...

    Look into the Lamonster F3 frame mounted cup holder. Takes it off the handle bars and puts the cup or bottle down by your right knee. I've had one for a couple of years and never had a problem. Easy to reach and very sturdy.

    How hot is too hot for Spyder Storage?

    I store mine in a Bike Barn, all year round. Lots of protection and good ventilation.

    A question or two for those who carry firearms on them when riding

    I'm retired LE, veteran and FBI/NRA qualified firearms instructor. I trained cops how to stay alive in a gunfight. That being said, if you find yourself in a situation, unless you or another person are in imminent danger, leave the area immediately. It's not worth the risk or trouble that will...

    Bugs !@#$@# What will get them off?!

    I have found that regular use of Lamonster's Detailer and Matte Detailer keeps the bug juice from sticking and makes cleaning the stuff off a breeze. Great product. Even water spots wipe right off. I use it on the entire trike.

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    Every Saturday, I ride with a group of two wheels for breakfast and a day ride. I find riding with a group is like "herding cats." I prefer riding solo but Saturdays are just for the friendship. Rode to Sturgis from L.A. alone last year and loved the solitude. Going to ride to the Deadwood...

    Deadwood 3Wheel Rally, 2023 - Getting ready to leave!

    Going to try and make the 2023 Deadwood Rally from SoCal. Rode to Sturgis in August this year and it was a great ride on my 2018 F3T. Didn't know about the 3 Wheel Rally until I got home. Sturgis is okay but too many bikes to let one enjoy the Black Hills ride. Stayed at RushNoMore RV park...

    Spyders passing HDs

    I wave to everyone. If they don't wave back my three finger wave goes to a one finger wave. Don't have time for a**holes.

    Sling Mods Pedal commander!

    After installing the PC on my F3T, I can only compare it to the feeling I got when I went from my '63 VW Bug to my '69 Dodge Super Bee. Go for it.

    Would this jack be ok for an 18 F3-L?

    I used the aluminum jack to install the new sway bar and it worked great. The jack comes with two extensions that get the trike high enough for the swap. When I lowered the jack, the trike was just barely sitting on the jack. Still able to get the jack out without a problem.
