• 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.

    F3S windshield. Is the "glass" only available without hardware?

    That hardware *does not* come “factory” on the bike. It *does* come in the box with the BRP Blue Ridge windshield (I believe all mounting parts are the same on the BRP Route 129, as well). If you have a Blue Ridge or Route 129, you can unbolt just the windscreen from the brackets and the...

    F3S windshield. Is the "glass" only available without hardware?

    That looks to be a BRP Blue Ridge windshield. The 'Glass' is only available as a complete kit. I have the Route 129 - a smaller version of the Blue Ridge. Same deal. There are a few aftermarket companies that sell just their own 'glass', and you reuse your BRP hardware. Others have a complete...

    Is there any way to buy the European style rear lighting kit on arms in America?

    Correct, TheMariner. Martin’s parts are to change the inboard factory brake lights (just like ours) to LED’s. Does nothing for the lights on the outboard stalks (turn signals).

    Is there any way to buy the European style rear lighting kit on arms in America?

    If I am reading it right, that kit is LEDs for their factory tail lights, similar to ours. The ones on the outboard stalks are turn signals. Believe the OP would like to make these outer stalks into combo brake/turn lights, as well as the factory inner ones. Wonderful idea! Don’t see that...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Been busy down here in South Texas planting, cultivating, and irrigating. We are dry, dry, dry. Finally took me a day off and rode 270 miles. Low 70’s °F when I left, low 90’s °F when I returned. A welcome break after working 7 days a week, 12 to 19 hours a day, for the last 4 weeks or so. I...

    Any experience in buying used bikes/trikes from this dealer in Peoria AZ?

    That bike has some kind of aftermarket front turn signals - not the large factory ones. Also not the factory original front wheels. Just my observations. Bike is same paint scheme as my wife’s ‘15 F3-S.

    May God continue to bless you, Lamont! Can’t begin to tell you how refreshing it is to have *real* customer service from Lamonster Garage - rare these days. And your installation videos for your products are very clear, very straightforward, and very accurate. I would never have tried the IPS...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Rode it 78 miles, then put it up on 3 stacked 2x4’s under each tire and changed the engine oil and filter. Also checked and topped off levels on coolant, brake fluid, and clutch fluid (SM6). Gave the machine a pretty good look-over while it was a little higher off the ground.
