Yes. That is what I was referring to. I do believe there would be a market for one on the Spyder....especially for those who ride in the winter and snow.

I may be stirring up the pot here, and I could care less what :cus: two wheelers that are jealous or plain idiots calling us :spyder2: ryders non-motorcycle-ists... But we are just giving them more of a reason to let these :cus:holes give us a hard time (again, I don't care, I like being out in the open space regardless of what a snobish HD rider thinks). Besides, as Bob is saying, the aerodynamics on something like a bimini on our machines would be a pain in the behind...
I can see the comments now "So these things are sailboats now?!?!"
No disrespect, but I agree with Spyderann01...:doorag:
Hmm, the thought of a cover while driving never crossed my mind…. Let's see: three wheeled vehicle + top = seat belts = car….
Funny.. that sounds a lot like the attitude of many 2-wheeled riders towards Spyder riders.... that since we have 3 wheels , 2 in the front, etc... that it's not a MC.... but a car or a sissy bike.
What about Jeep owners who run open in the summer... then add a soft top or a hard top in the winter.... I suppose some have problems with them also.....
I don't see anything wrong with it.. if that's what the person wants to do... and I could actually see a practical use for it. Those who don't live in cold climates or are just 'fair weather' riders wouldn't understand.
I think a unit similar to those pictured would work. Doesn't look any sillier than some other things I've seen people do to their Spyders......
Fly,
If you and I keep finding common ground, something awful has GOT to be just around the corner...:shocked:
The reverse of this might work, as well as improve gas milage. Might be a tad tough to steer in a crosswind - :dontknow:

I actually saw one of these at the trike dealer/conversion shop in Jasper, GA 18 months ago or so. 4 cyl Ford eng, auto trans, steering wheel air cond, heater, top kinda like a Jeep. It sold and I guess it went out of the area, haven't seen it around anywhere. It may have been all fabric and not plastic looking in the front can't remember.
Seems to me it's made in Canada and kinda expensive. There's one on e-bay for $28, 500 buy it now. No top, sorry.:rolleyes:

I'm afraid that if the Spyder got a top, I'd have to start hiding my head in shame. ;) What's next? ...seat belts? ...airbags? ...air conditioning? Sorry, but I have to agree with Ann. I mean no disrespect, but if you need those things, I don't think the Spyder is the ride for you. If I wanted that kind of stuff I'd buy a Miata. nojoke
But there's nothing wrong with coming up with a unique idea... Right? :shocked:

Is that the TRUCKSTER??? :bowdown::bowdown: :2thumbs:
I am pretty sure they already have a 3-wheeler with a top. It is called t-rex. How much of a bike that is, could be argued....
My bimini is called a helmet and mesh gear.........
Checked out the "cycleshade" link. Pretty cool! Made me think of a "shade while parked in the sun" thing that Erags made for their Spyder. It is a beach towel with a casing made on each narrow end, elasticised cord run through the casings that fasten onto handlebars and the back somewhere. I thought about it and looked for a water repellant shower curtain type material. I would get white for light reflection, not black . A big ol' Spyder appliqued on it would be nice. Then I thought about the silvery material that is used for those fold up car shade things, but that would be a lot of bulk to carry around. I will take pics of what I come up with.

Wow, I haven't been on the forum today because I rode with a friend to Flagstaff because she needed to get some experience riding in the rain. I am feeling the love here and am flattered that a few of you agree with me. Give me the sun, wind and the rain but don't put a roof on my Spyder.
