• 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.

    Shad saddlebag key snapped

    I've happily owned Shad top-cases for years, with no complaints about them at all. I noticed the key design of the Shad side cases for my F3-S was quite different, but I never expected it to prove so weak. I've only used the saddlebags for about 4 months. I'm immensely lucky the key didn't snap...

    Rear lighting with a luggage rack

    Last year, I added a Can-Am Spyder Accessories luggage rack to my 2016 F3-S. It joined the Cross Country bags my machine came with, to let me haul a comfortable amount of gear for road trips. This has had the unintended effect of reducing the visibility of the rear lights, as you can see from...

    Switching between Spyder and motorcycle

    I have to say, I didn't really anticipate that it would be so, ah, interesting to switch back and forth between riding my Spyder and riding my motorcycle. While intellectually I know muscle memory is important, I underestimated just how important. Purchased my F3-S over the winter. When the...

    Does your F3-S burble, too?

    I've got a 2016 F3-S. The hubs has a 2016 F3-T. I've ridden them both, and cannot help but notice that my S model "burbles" when slowing to a stop. It's quite a noticeable sound during down-shifting. My F3-S belonged to someone else originally, and he put an Akropovic exhaust on it. I...

    Thank you, Baja Ron

    Although my '16 F3-S is quite a good-handling machine, I've been unhappy with the way it feels in tight curves. That late-arriving body lean, after already picking my line and committing to the curve, was a real drag. More than a drag, actually; it was nibbling away at my confidence in the...

    Adding backrest to Corbin seat?

    I bought my 2016 FS-3 second hand a few months ago. It came with a Corbin seat. The seat has flaps covering what are obviously slots meant to accommodate a driver and a passenger backrest. Can I simply acquire a Corbin backrest, say off of EBay, and just slip it in one of those the slots and...

    Maiden voyage

    OK, that's a misleading title. It wasn't much of a voyage. ;) It's warm enough today, with the roads actually dry (not to say clean), so I took my new-to-me 2016 F3-S out for a half-mile run up and down my street. First ride! She was delivered to my house in mid-December, just one day before we...

    Luggage rack advice, please?

    I've researched this question quite a bit on the forum and elsewhere online, but not found an answer. So I thought I'd finally ask straight up. My new-to-me F3-S came equipped with: (A) A Corbin seat; (B) Can-Am Cross Country saddlebags; and (C) The quick-release Can-Am passenger backrest...

    My Black Friday shopping

    Welp, I made a deal yesterday on this 2016 F3-S, with a shade less than 4,000 on the odometer. It should be delivered in two weeks or so, after the brake position and handle bars are changed out for me. Then the long wait begins until Spring, at which time I can start to determine whether...
