    Default mods for riding one handed

    Hello everybody,
    I'm new on here and wanting to get into the spyder world. But I only have the use of my right arm. I'm curious on what bit would take to move the left handed controls ( turn signal, horn, high low beam, gear selector) to the right side. I ride a yfz450 r quad for fun in the dirt but want to be able to ride down the road to! Thank you for any and all information and advice.
    God Bless and be safe!

    There is a forum here "Enabled Spyderlover" you can search or get in touch with some of those there...

    Got to ask ... how can you steer hard to the right if there is no use of the left arm? (believe me I am not trying to be a smart so and so ... genuine question .... I am a lower left leg amputee and so specifically compensated for the same by buying the SE6 semi auto instead of a manual SM6)

    As an aside, here in Australia (even with a doctors certificate) If you can't control a bike with 2 hands that's it .. you aren't allowed to ride ... The authorities here really cracked down on all this stuff after a whole heap of people were getting medical exemptions from wearing helmets .... (probably 20 years or so ago now) ...

    and on your first post.

    Cannot help you with the one handed driving information you requested. The recommendations to check out the "enabled Spyder" thread is a good one.

    Control issues may be a problem here.
