• 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.

    Droptail Traler Questions

    Droptail -- versatile I haven't had occasion to trailer my F3-S on the Droptail I bought a while back from a Spyderlover, but it came in handy last month when I needed to bring home a new toy: A 2014 Polaris mid-size Ranger JUST fits. Loaded frontward, as in the picture, the tongue weight is...

    I need help with a Leesure-Lite trailer

    other forums for answers to your Leesure-Lite trailer question I know that a lot of Gold Wing riders pull this trailer. You might Google up their forum and see if any riders there can help you if this group doesn't pop up an answer for you. Good luck.

    Transporting Spyder by pickup

    mini-toy hauler My lady and I travel with just such a rig. With the Tundra pick-up, we pull a 7x12 V-nose box trailer, purchased with a pop-out tent/bed down one side and an awning down the opposite. Full-wide ramp in the rear makes loading a snap; however, space inside the trailer is pretty...

    Rear fender moulding

    it's called a "thingey" The rear fender thingey associated with the license plate on the F3-S is removable by simply taking the main fender bracket off and removing as many torx screws as required before it -- the thingey -- falls on the sidewalk.

    Corbin update

    Corbin for the second rider Just a quick agreement on the Corbin on the F3; my ladyfriend, whose backside has graced a LOT of motorcycle seats, says the Corbin on our F3-S is absolutely -- from Day One -- the most comfortable perch she's had to date.....and that's coming from the original...

    Mirrors

    F3-S mirror solution I have an F3-S and neither I nor my "second Rider" (navigator and safety lookout supreme) were able to see much with the stock mirrors. I purchased two of Lamonster's "top caps" that are threaded to install regular motorcycle mirrors mounted, as he says, more like a real...

    Highway

    side gusts On our recent trip from GA to the Grand Canyon and back, crossing the prairie we noticed on two-lane highways when the wind was blowing across our path from our left hand side, tractor-trailers in the oncoming lane would really hit us hard with their frontal wind blast. However...

    RIDING IN THE RAIN

    rain on way home from Red Rock The ladyfriend and I got caught in some very heavy rain on the last day of our return from Red Rock, coming over Unicoi Pass on US129 north of Cleveland, GA. It was the very outer swirl of hurricane Matthew, best as we could tell from the weather maps. I was...

    F3 suspension

    Cogent shock price? Dan: I am not able to quote a price for the Cogent Dynamics shock per se. I dropped my Spyder off at the shop and they played with suspension front and rear, taking the stock components' measurements (including putting them on their shock dyno) and then went to work...

    documenting first oil change

    I've always wondered just how extensive "proof" is required if there's a warranty claim involving an owner-performed maintenance item, in this case an oil change. Does photographic evidence such as photos of the new filter and oil and an odo image capture suffice, along with receipts for the...

    Looking to sell my F3 S and go a different route

    great deal This looks like a great price on a sensibly modified F3-S. I would have been all over it when I was shopping for mine 2 months ago. GLWS Pete

    Corbin saddle -- woo-hoo!

    accessories compatible? The question came up in another thread regarding using the BRP passenger backrest with the Corbin saddle on the F3-S. It does (they do?), but it's necessary to snap the backrest in place before putting the seat on, and the seat has to be removed before the backrest can...

    Corbin saddle -- woo-hoo!

    ordering the seat and other questions It only took a week to receive the seat once I placed the order....buying it from another forum member (sorry, that was mean). Not sure what Corbin's back-up might be at the present; giving them a call might get you an answer. The fit as far as actually...

    Corbin saddle -- woo-hoo!

    This afternoon a color-matched (orange piping and stitching) Corbin dualseat arrived for my F3-S (thank you very much Tim Walter) I was a bit surprised to discover it's not the usual 5-minute swap-out with the stock seat(s). Corbin wanted the latch mechanism to be in the middle rather than off...

    BRP belt tensioner

    High-mount mirror hits F4 ? Here's the solution

    Lamonster sells a nifty "top cap" which fits on the switchgear of the F3 handlebar. The device allows you to mount a single or pair of rear-view mirrors (as he says) on the handlebars like on a regular motorcycle. The top cap can also mount a RAM ball for attaching a cell phone or GPS or what...
