Gerald37 - please don't let a few know-it-alls get the best of you. You, my friend remind me of my uncle who could do most anything he set his mind to. I was fortunate enough to live next door to him...

I'm not afraid of a little work especially if it saves me from buying another backrest kit for a few hundred dollars! With the time I put into making the plywood prototype (only needed one) it fits...

Unless BRP has decided to be more generous, the mount referenced is just the new "tuning fork" to allow easier adjustments forward and backward tilt. The missing piece of the puzzle is the aluminum...

BRP does offer a liner for the rear trunk https://can-am.brp.com/spyder/shop/accessories/cargo-storage/top-case-accessories/top-case-molded-inside-liner0.html for $130.

If you want to consider a gas furnace and have an outside wall with enough space to install it, look at a wall furnace with direct venting. I have an Empire wall furnace and there is one wall...

Ann,

I highly respect your experience and knowledge shared with us on this forum, and I respect your opinion on this matter. I stand by my original factual statement. Not knowing the experience...

I'm sure you already know this, but I'll mention it just to be sure. The Kenda front tires are directional, so you would have to demount the tires from the rims to switch sides.

You wrote: I was looking for bags/luggage that would fit into the saddlebags and came across these ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AV56BTW...=3LTII1H6TSART ). Of course they're small, but they're...

I mean no offense and don't wish to debate, but the demount tip is strong enough for a car tire. It's all in the technique and NoMar cautions not to try prying the bead up over the rim or the tip...

If you get the HF tire changer, either buy or make a set of Mojo Blocks to protect the rim. I also found using thin rubber gasket material on the Mojo Blocks helps keep the rim from spinning when you...

Delaware, OH. His and hers Spyders. We ride alone, it's just easier that way.

Take a look at Mac's tiedowns. They have just about anything you would want.

"Of course, that meant the "no park brake" alarm went off, just to draw the attention of everyone nearby :yikes: :D"


So far, I thought hitting the horn button rather than the turn signal was bad...

In regards to the part number changing, don't put too much thought into that. Maybe there was an improved version, or it could just be they are buying it from a different supplier.

If you don't have a valve core tool, get one and make sure the valve core is snug. I agree with Peteoz about the volume of the bag is so small, it doesn't take much to lose a lot of pressure.

I...

Doc,
I think there is a turnbuckle type connection above and forwards of the engine on the RT and would guess that could be used for overall alignment within the frame. I could be wrong. Would also...

Just watch if you pivot the bars lower, the switch housings will hit the Tupperware when you turn side to side.

Thanks for the comments. I already have the HF tire changer with the motorcycle adapter and some homemade mojo blocks and have used it in the past to change out some old Bushtec trailer tires and...

Has anyone had first hand experience using a Harbor Freight manual tire changer to remove and replace tires on their Spyder wheels? If so, did you have any problems? Thanks.

I know there will be people who wag their fingers and say I'm committing some sin against the helmet gods, that's OK, it's my head not theirs. I cut out a circular section of the Styrofoam for the...

Remove the part that captures the backrest forks. There are 4 screws that hold it on. Get some small stainless steel flat washers to fit the screw diameter and use 2 or 3 on each of the back or front...

The dealer in Springfield started selling Spyders in late 2013 or early 2014. I tried to get their best price on a 2014 RT-S SE6 with no trade and they were just barely below list price. Don't know...

If the dealer you are talking about begins with an A and ends with a K with an S in the middle, I think some people have been OK with them but I would never deal with them due to a really bad...

Before buying a license plate frame, verify your state's plate size is a standard size. When we first moved to Ohio over 25 years ago, their bike plate size was nonstandard but they eventually...

It may be a shot in the dark, but check the swingarm pivot for excess play.

The easiest method I found for my wife's F3 Ltd. was to cut the brake link rod, which is actually a small diameter pipe. It has 1/4" ID. After getting the pedal height where she was comfortable and...

While it is probably easier to just get a new bolt, if you want to find the old one, look in the dead space between the factory skid plate and the bottom of the air scoop chamber you see through the...

My wife and I rode our Spyders on the Southern half of the Blue Ridge last September. We got on at Fancy Gap and the first 30-40 miles, the road was pretty rough with pot holes and dips at every...
