• 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.

    Replacing shocks is it worth it

    I also have a 17 F3L. At 35K miles the OEM shocks just were past their prime. I had decided to have them replaced with Elka’s while I was at SITO. The ryde, cornering and handling on my serpentine route through the Ozarks on my way home were very much improved. I am extremely happy with my...

    spyder events

    Since I got my first Spyder in 2010, (I’m now in my third), I’ve been blessed to have attended more events than I can recall at the moment. I’ve ridden to and from everyone of them. I have travelled tens of thousands of mile on trips that involved no Spyder or other events at all. My travels...

    RT to F3T

    Congratulations on your new ryde!! After 55K miles on an RT, I went to a 2017 F3L and have never once regretted my decision. I love the way it handles. But, to me, the best aspect is I’m sitting “in” the F3, rather than “on” the RT, which is immensely more comfortable. Enjoy!!

    My Time at Spyders in the Ozarks -- 2019

    What a great, heart felt write up, Ann. It’s stories like yours that reflect my sentiments since I hopped on my first spyder in 2010. I’ve had the blessing and grace to have ridden well over 100K on 3 Spyders over the ensuing 9 years. The reflections in your words say it all. The experiences...

    Can-Am Spyder vs Gold Wing Trike Handling

    With all the opinions expressed previously, I would simply add, its my belief and feeling that riding a conventional trike is comparatively like driving a dump truck, whereas ryding a spyder is like a sports car. I’ll add that three wheeled ATV’s were discontinued for several reasons.

    General questions:

    I’ve never worried about fuel octane in any of the 3 Spyders I’ve owned, including my current 17 F3L. As said previously, mileage depends on a number of factors. I ryde overwhelmingly solo, in all kinds of conditions, all types of terrain, and all kinds of speed, although I normally ryde fast...

    Anyone using a Garmin 590LM/595LM ?

    I use a 595LM with the mount centered in the handlebars. It tilts and I’ve found when reflection is an issue, simply tilting it up or down solves the problem. I have hood which attaches to the unit via Velcro strips, but rarely use it,.

    Question about imotorsports

    I’m going to be at odds with the previous posters regarding iMotorsports. Please note my experience with them was a couple of years ago. They were one of 6 dealers I chose to approach to buy a 17 F3L. I gave each a list of exactly what I wanted. 2 of the 5 never replied to repeated emails and...

    mirror relocators

    Interesting idea. I’d always wanted to just get rid of that hunk of plastic. I hadn’t thought of the the a turn signal “etched” or cut into it. If you actually do do it, I’d certainly be interested in the results.

    mirror relocators

    If I’m not in error, the OEM mirrors also have the turn signal. If those mirrors are removed, not only is there a hole, but there is no turn signal. It was my understanding the Lamonster Garage had a plug n play light which fills the mirrorless void on all but the Ltd. At last contact with...

    MyRouteApp - help!

    I used Tyre for a long time as my route maker. For me it is much easier to learn and much more functional than Basecamp. I started using MyRouteapp early this year and like it even better. I have it on my iPhone and iPad. I also import the routes to my Zumo 595. I have had very little difficulty...

    Shipping company???

    I’ve used UShip for my first Spyder and again for 4 wheelers, tractors and a car. All the shippers were great. No damage. On time or earlier than expected.

    17,000 Miles and the front pulley is history!

    Red dust was very evident on my 17 F3L with 16,000 miles. The pulley came off using one hand. Wear was present in the spines, but had not reached the point of being severe. The splines were not coated with any grease. New install a few days ago with the Locktite fix per BRP. Fingers crossed.

    iMotorsports experiences?

    When shopping for my 17 F3L, iMotorsports was simply awful to even try to talk with. I commenced my hunt in January, sent in writing what I wanted and got very little from them. The sales folks consistently did not reply, sometimes for weeks. Their story changed, the price changed, and in my...

    It's Hot out ... you need this

    No Room Appears to be a “cool” product. When I travel, there isn’t room for such a luxury.

    To cover or not to cover...

    I’m Different I’ve owned an RS, an RTS and currently have an F3L. In all my travels totaling over 75K Spyder miles, I’ve never covered any of them. A rain cover on the seat is it. In my opinion, a cover is just something else to carry, put on, take off, pack and unpack. As simple as it may be...

    Extended warranty?

    That is Too Much When I purchased my 17 F3L, I chose a Zurich policy. If memory serves me correctly, After some negotiation, my investment was $850 for a 7 Year period. That is $120/year. Im guessing the cost of policies is influenced by whether the unit to be insured is new or otherwise. I...
