Looking for ideas on how to turn my Spyder into a Snow Blower
An enclosed cab on the Snowblower would be nice also. 3 degree temp doesn't bother a tough guy like me--I just wanna look cool
PS: There seems to be a difference between looking cool & freezing my a*s off :-(

RT THROWER!!
If you could figure how to make a functioning auger(s) in the radiator scoops I believe you would be on to something. They make great shop vacs when going down the road!! Mad Mac

Don't know if that's real or photoshopped. A real spyder would simply stop when Nanny detects any tire slippage, wouldn't it? Especially if it's running stock Kendas. I don't see room for chains between the tire and fender on our stock 08.
When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

I agree, I think it is photo shopped. No, the nanny does not stop tire slippage on my 2016 F3T, but it will not go forward. I just took my bike out in about 5" of snow, and took some pictures. It took me about 30 minutes to dig a path to get it back in the garage. The 2 front tires, pushing through the snow will stop the progress of the one rear tire trying to push things forward.

Take a 2013 RT without the "heat recall" installed and drive it around. I should just melt the snow in the surrounding neighborhood.

Well they do make cabs for snowblowers ( Amazon and Home Depot).... I modified both my snowblowers and they work MUCH better now throwing snow further and not clogging in moist snow. My neighbor had a little Honda 4 wheeler with plow but it had limits. A different neighbor has a snow blower attachment for his 4 wheeler.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisc--30 mi from Green Bay. I remember one heavy snow year when they had a monster snow blower attached to the front of the big gravel truck. The blown snow was so high they had to warn the people not to let the kids touch the power lines--approx 25" up..
