I think Kent is probably the largest dealer in the area. When I was looking to buy my Spyder, I visited them to talk with a salesman and then called to talk to a service tech. The salesman was nice,...
I like the look of the new 2013 boards, but I don't like them enough to replace the Seal boards on my 2012 RT Limited. The Seal boards are half the cost and allow for more places to put my feet.
I have purchased several lighting solutions for my Spyder from Custom Dynamics and their products are top notch. :thumbup:
I looked at South Texas Suzuki when I was shopping for my Spyder. I'm glad that I bought from Woods Cycle Country in New Braunfels instead. The New Braunfels dealer has been great.
My Spyder had...
I have the Kontour Seat and Elkas. I love both, but I'd go with the Elkas first. You can always make temporary adjustments with your seat situation through periodic stops to stretch the legs or...
If you know it is the ECM causing the problem, have you called the other BRP shops in the area to see if they have the parts on hand?
Sorry that you have been without BR1 for so long. I hope this...
I owned an HD RoadKing and I know what you mean about the v-twin vibration, but the RT has a harmonic vibration that is different. If it is the belt, like some people have mentioned, I may get the...
I connected a pigtail to the battery under the seat that works double duty. It primarily is used for connecting my battery tender, but it also is used as a power connection for my electric heating...
I hope you get BR1 back soon. If this is the dealership south of San Antonio, they are really friendly, but they also appear to be a very small dealership supporting the rural area. I think they...
I agree with what Bruiser said regarding motorcycle riding on a military installation. I'm retired USAF and currently work on Lackland AFB as a govt civilian. When I ride my spyder on base, I need a...
You have to do what makes you comfortable. Sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone or you might end up shut in your house and not go anywhere if things get too extreme.
My wife was...
The guy definitely needs some anger management sessions. I sold my HD RoadKing to buy my spyder. I guess I'm really messed up. :roflblack:
I did mine similar to yours, but I pulled off the mirrors and the tupperware to work at it from the sides. I didn't need to remove the speaker grills. I did have a problem getting the large flat...
I'm guessing the magnum option will require additional construction in the seating area that accounts for the higher cost. Even though my seat is built to Kontour specs, it still has the shape of...
Wow, the price has jumped up. That is $150 more than I paid last month. Does that include recovering the passenger backrest and the driver backrest or is that quote only for the seat?
I'm not a fan of the fuel door, but I like the look of the seat. If I was going to do a fuel door, I'd prefer Corbin's implementation. The fuel door on the Ultimate looks like the fuel door on my...
So far I'm pleased with it. I don't have a lot of time in the saddle yet, but I'm not setting in my own sweat while riding in the Texas heat like I was with the stock vinyl seat. The breathability...
I paid $1350 for a Kontour seat and $239 for a Utopia driver backrest. I also paid another $100 to ship the original spyder seat and passenger backrest to Kontour.
The Kontour price included...
I had mine set on 5, but I just installed my new stage 1+ Elkas that are set to 25 from the factory. I haven't taken my spyder out for a test run yet, but I have 50 settings for adjustment now...
I'm thinking that it replaces the panel under the spyder with one that has an opening or a hatch to make it easier for oil changes. The current one needs to be removed, but it sounds like the new...
Thanks for the info. I'll shoot him an email.
Edit: Fixed spelling. :gaah:
Definitely interested in hearing your results. My dealer is a little timid when it comes to the block-off plates. The dealership is concerned that if my engine overheats and causes a warranty issue...
As much as I'd like to see the heat go away, it has to go somewhere.
I was out for a walk yesterday and as I was walking past a parked car that had the engine running, I could feel the heat...
Doc,
I was looking at the link you provided. They don't offer a repair manual for the 2012 RT yet. Do you or anyone else know if the 2011 manual will work for a 2012 model year? I'm guessing that...
Dang, that is a stupid design. This is the first time I've encountered vehicle lights with no adjustments to aim the lights in the correct direction. Oh well, one less thing to tweak.
If I would have read this yesterday, I would have had a hard time believing a 20 pound seat costs $100 to ship.
I'm a believer now. I shipped out my RT seat last night to Kontour Seat, so they...
Good choice with the Primo. I use the Primo XL Oval. I've cooked whole chickens, turkeys, ribs, burgers, grilled shrimp, fish, steaks, corn on-the-cob, whole potatoes, etc... on it.
With that...
This is a little off topic, but still fog light related. How do you aim the fog lights? I know how to do the headlights, but I can't find any adjustments for the fog lights on my RT.
I'm...
On my 2012 RT, the turn signals auto cancel when making normal turns. When I make gradual turns or change lanes, the turn signals will cancel after 30 seconds. I can try to manually cancel them by...
