    When it is full does it go up the whole neck of the mod or does it only fill to the stock set-up?

    I have to keep the Spyder on to watch the gauge so it doesnt fill up to the new cap...that wouldn't be good because the venting is still the original and all of that gas would overfill the charcoal canister and possibly start a fire...


    I just did this mod..so I'll write it up with pics....although I'm not too happy with the ABS plastic under the tupperware, I'm going to source it out to get the filler neck made in aluminum or somekind of metal.

    I fill the tank as I normally would. I fill it to the last full bar on the gas gauge making sure that I do not overfill. I have about 3000km with this mod and the ABS is working fine.

    Hey Wheelz:

    I have a new 2009 SE5, and being an left leg amputee, when I go to the gas station, it gets kind of tricky and uncomfortable to get down from the seat on the right side, open and lift the seat, open and close the gas tank (especially when you have to press the cap down and turn it so it seals properly).

    Have you come up with an idea similar to Jumper's, that you might explain and show pictures of...?

    Your input will be appreciared.

    Thanks and regards, Pilo

    Default Left leg limitations

    Pilo, If you don't have an artificial replacment for the left leg you might want to search out the gas cap extension that was done by another amp, that goes thru the seat and is filled without rasing the seat. I had the same problem, but with the artifical leg I get off/on the right side and walk around and do the fill up. Good luck. Mickc

    Default AKA or BKA...?

    Mickc:

    I am an AKA (above the knee amputee), and when I am on the SE5 (probably because of the forward seating position), the edge of the socket of my old artificial leg feels uncomfortable on my left buttock and upper hip, so I ride it without the artificial leg.

    When I get a new and better prosthesis I'll try it on the Spyder and then I'll decide which way to go.

    If you mean the other amp mod where you lift the left-front corner of the seat..., to be honest, I like Jumper's arrangement better...

    Are you an AKA or BKA? What sort of prosthesis do you use?

    PM me, or e-mail me to: pilodiaz@net-uno.net

    Saludos from an Argentinean in Venezuela and welcome

    Default hand Brake

    Now that would really mess me up with handbrake on left side bad enough
    not having one on rt side..I'm sure you had reason for installing on left side and it does look good. Don't let anyone with manual trans ride your Spyder.....
