Very sweet Brian! I missed this the first time around, so am glad it came back around.

Would like to see some detail pics of the black risers. Need to get some for my wife's Spyder, but haven't decided on chrome or black, although I'm leaning towards black.

Thanks,

Dang, I see that I forgot to post pictures of the risers. It'll have to wait for a while longer as my Spyder is at the dealership waiting on BRP to ship them a DPS as mine went kaput. Hopefully early next week.

Here are a few pics of my black risers along with the Kewlmetal rear rack I installed yesterday.















I really like the rear rack and I am envisioning how I will get a sissy bar attachment for it to hold a new sissy bar bag that I have been shopping for and to attach my Biker's Friend bag to instead of using bungee cords under the seat. I also am envisioning getting my license plate mounted up on the rear rack instead of on the swingarm like I have it now. That should relieve
any vibration issues associated my current license plate mount.

One thing on the rear rack install, in the instructions they say to remove one of the taillight screws if you are having trouble getting the mounting plate into the Spyder frame. I recommend against that as once you get the screw out and get the mounting plate installed, you won't be able to put the screw back in so that taillight will be loose. I found that the mounting plate did fit in between the light assemblies though it was a tight fit.

I've been playing with a different license plate mount since I removed my rear fender.
I designed the bracket to bring the plate higher and towards the back of the Spyder while keeping it horizontal so it was visible from both sides while riding. I think this covers me for plate mounting legality in all states.

I just noticed this old post, Brian. As it turns out, your concerns about legality in all States were unfounded, as your trip to L.A. demonstrated the whole plate concept seems to be optional...

Well I got my license plate mount moved again...

Trying to get it off the swingarm because of vibration issues, I mounted it off of the Kewlmetal rear rack that I recently got.

I got a great deal on the Day Tripper tailbag from my dealer and it works great with my Kewl rack. This, along with my Biker's Friend bag, should give me all the luggage carrying capacity I need for any traveling I'll do. If not, I can add the Nelson-Rigg roll bag to the top for additional storage. This bag is secure on the Spyder and very easy to remove so I can easily take it into the motel rooms for the night. Here are a few pics of the Day Tripper along with my Biker's Friend.







The first two pics also show a bit of the Madstad windshield and brackets I've been demoing. So far, it's been great. So good that after I made one small adjustment to how dltang had it set, I haven't messed with it since. I really need to take the time to try it at multiple adjustment levels to give a true report of how well it works. I'll post dedicated pics and a report on the Madstad in the next few days.

Just got the MMG cold air intake installed that I bought from ATADude. It went in fairly easy once I took off just enough body plastic to "finesse" it in there. No pics but it can be seen on ATADude's mods thread. I'll be testing it out starting today on the way to work. I will say that the initial running just in my garage didn't produce any noticeable increase in the intake noise like removing the snorkels or putting on the Evoluzione intake.

Dang... you are slow. Oh, wait... the shop thingy.

I was waiting for you to come up and do the free install that I thought you included with every sale but I got tired of waiting.
