• 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.

    Absolutely Amazing after Installing BajaRon sway bar!

    Toyo Proxes T 185/55-15 up front. They do require adding clearance for the fenders easily done with a coupla 3/8" lock washers on the fender mounts which move the fenders toward the frunk. Details? "click: to see MY SPYDER PAGE

    "Full Size Brake Pedal"

    There is lots of "play" in the brake pedal before the light comes on so one can have one's foot on the brake without activating the cruise kill or light.. I find it hard to lift my leg to apply with the tiny OEM at it's default height. I put on the extended but found it too sensitive. I adjusted...

    F3-T rear suspension upgrades

    Make your own "self adjusting" suspension. I use an inexpensive 12v pump to check my pressure and add if needed. Takes up very little room in the T bag and if need be, I can use it to fill a tire too. Full details and links "click: to see MY SPYDER PAGE

    Blue Ridge Windshield on the F3 = Crazy backdraft

    Fear not. Just do it right. Put some tape where the clamp goes and don't ram the screws into the shield. Gently tighten. It won't come off. Kenny did say "I think it was more operator error". I've had my Moparty to max speed and because of it being there I could still hear my radio!

    Blue Ridge Windshield on the F3 = Crazy backdraft

    I have a Moparty clone of the too expensive Xcreen. It has stopped any buffeting from the F4 tall. I had the same problem, but it wasn't backdraft, it was over the top. Rattled my glasses and pained my sinuses very severely. Thing is, you can look over your shield through the gap for a good...

    Can you slip shift an sm6?

    Thread is moot. He ended up with an SE6, same miles, same price, same year, same color. I never get that lucky. Added bonus, windshield, buncha lights.

    Oil Drain Plug Removal

    "Facts" like the old style propane hose connectors (left hand thread). When I had my grandson working with me I told him "that connector s left hand thread". The second time I said "that connector is left hand thread" he said "I know. You told me that." My reply, "Well now you'll remember."

    Can you slip shift an sm6?

    Thanks for the info. We've both been slip shifting bikes for decades. Takes about a day to get the technique right, but butter after that. Never downshift. I decided to go full hog on an SE6, but he found an SM6 S for 13K local in NC. That was the price range.

    Can you slip shift an sm6?

    I have a friend who wants to get a '15 F3 - S which is an SM6. He asked me of you can shift it without using the clutch. I have no idea because I have an SE6. But, both me and that old timer have slip shifted bikes without the clutch for decades. Take it up the the proper RPM and close the...

    7jurock on F3 Ltd size suggestion?

    One can add an 11.5 inch (280mm) Moparty extender which adds much more for height protection while still allowing one to look through the space as if looking over the shield. I was particularly impressed by its ability to prevent the buffeting on the helmet by this addition. I have also added...

    They beefed it up on models manufactured after May 2020 but don't quote me ;)
