If your tyre is wearing in the centre, it is probably inflated too hard !!!!

Thanks Scotty, unfortunately I had cleaned the bolt and then realised that it was not loctite 243 on it. (dont know what I was thinking of). Comes of having a (senior moment) I suppose.

Better still, come on over and watch for yourself. A week of Practice and a week of racing, all Free. You wont believe how close you can get to the riders. To feel the thunder in your chest from the...

Do NOT go near a Spyder.
Do NOT sit on a Spyder.
Do NOT take a test ride on a Spyder.
Do NOT enjoy the power from a Spyder.
Do NOT thrill at the handling of the Spyder.

Just to stir your pickle,
Have HD ever built anything fast, apart from the V-Rod which is only theirs in name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else had the misfortune to have a rear bulb blow and have a Sportrack fitted? What on earth were the designers thinking about on this one. Definately not a 5 min job.

Dont lose heart.
An easy fix is to drill out the rivets and replace with stainless steel ones.The crafty bit is to put a tiny spring washer on the rivet between the plate and Hindle body. This has...

Hi Musicarcade, Exactly, but you are not complaining !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From what I read on this and other sites, It appears that some are buying the wrong machines for the wrong reasons. If you want a machine for sheer PERFORMANCE, Spyder wants some beating, if you...
