Sweet, Brian. I notice you fixed up the pipe too. Looks great!

Oops. I just noticed the narrative about the high-temp paint. That is excellent.

Nice mods. Looks like your windshield has an earring.

Yep, I thought about that after the fact.

The more Spyders I see with the gloss black fenders, the more I like the look. It is so darned sharp! I am torn about the reduced visibility, but there is no denying that they add a lot of elegance up front. Well done BJT!

Looks like SOMEBODY got all spruced up to meet Jay!
(BTW I don't remember if anybody posted this article by Jay, telling of his fascination with three-wheelers..)
Get me an autograph, Brian?
You know, with a Sharpie.

I got the black 3" NMN risers installed today. They really make turning easier. I also got 2 ram mount ball ends from NMN that fit the risers. That made it so I could get my GPS back where I like it, by the left handgrip, while keeping my J&M CB mounted on the clutch bracket. I also took off the rear fender and put a motorcycle fender on instead. During that mod, I swapped out the left fender bracket from my Spyder to dltang's as her left fender bracket got dinged up by a large pothole and the antenna bracket. When we got the bracket off, we found one of the tabs that holds the bracket to the swingarm of her Spyder was broken off so I welded it back on and got her fender bracket re-installed. I ended up doing quite a bit of cutting down of the motorcycle fender to get it to the size I wanted and to have it fit as I wanted. I think the Spyder looks good with a much smaller rear fender. Unfortunately, I have no pictures for tonight as I'm whipped after working on Spyders all day long. Tomorrow, I'll get some pics put together and hopefully get the Evoluzione sway bar installed that I confiscated from dltang.

Dang! I wish I knew you were ditching the rear fender...I would have bought the license plate reflector assembly from you! BTW...you were right on the Cleveland banner run...I had to buy the whole assembly instead of just the reflector housing. Ugh. Can't wait to see the pics.
Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

I was thinking about your light tonight as I was removing the rear fender but I wasn't reasonably sure it would work until about 9pm tonight. Even now, I'm not 100% satisfied. If I can't tweak it in, I'll have to put my stock fender back on so I kinda need to keep that reflector / light lens.

No problem. I've already ordered and paid for the new one.

I think it looks great. Much more sleek than the yellow wheel fenders. JMHO

What brand is the rear tire?

Kumho Ecsta AST like lamonster had. I'd buy it again if we can find it. I think they changed the design on that tire and the new AST has a tread design that I wouldn't use on my Spyder.

Just decided it was time to move onto other things.
