• 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.

    A question for the tech-heads

    Hey guys, I have a 2015 F3 base model. Did not buy the S model because I don’t like the raised portion on the fenders. I would like to add the factory cruise control the S models use. I have been unable to locate the part numbers for the cruise control unit and would like to know if it can be...

    Bushtec trailer hitch failed

    To you guys that purchased a Bushtec trailer hitch for your 2015 F3, mine failed at about the 9000 mile mark. Broke right at the bend. If you have not already, you might consider welding some side brackets to better support the hitch. This gave way in traffic on the 210 freeway in Pasadena, CA...

    Big thank you to Harvey Clark of Spyderpops

    Motorcycle Dave comes through again

    I purchased a couple Sena Bluetooth units from Motorcycle Dave recently. Picked up a 20S for the wife and a 310C for me. I was having trouble with the 310C, connection dropping and some intercom fails and then it would not upgrade the firmware when I tried. Gave Dave a call, he got right back to...

    The wife and I plan to ride out to the original A&W Root Beer Stand tomorrow. So, I spent the morning installing the Spyderpops Bump Skid on the F3. Went on without a problem.

    my girlfriend's first ride

    I finally broke down and gave into my granddaughter's pleas. She went for her first Spyder ride this morning. She is old enough to have been hounding me for 2 years to take her for a ride. Grandma, Dad and I talked about it a little bit and we decided a short ride through the neighborhood would...

    Looking for Info about Givi wingracks

    I have some questions about the Givi Wingrack and mounting the Givi sidebags on the F3. I think one of you guys posted a picture of the Wingrack without the sidebag mounted. I have been trying to find that thread and none of my searches have triggered it for me. If it is not too big of a pain...

    New parts installed

    I installed Lamont's CAT bypass and the upgraded Fox rear shock today. The CAT bypass went on without a hitch. Lamont did a real nice job on this thing. The weight difference between the CAT and the performance pipe is amazing. I think the F3 lost at least about 13 pounds with this change. The...

    looking forward to the demo ride Friday

    Well, I've gone thru the Build & Price twice for the new F3. One with all the goodies I would like and one with just what I need to keep from losing Deb off the back side. We are going for the demo ride Friday. I can't wait. If this thing is everything I am hoping it is, the GS is going to get...
