    Default Welcome, welcome 👍

    Welcome to both the spyder world and this most informative site...congrats on the new ryde. not sure which bumper you are refering to but stock parts are best gotten from cheapcycleparts.com but if it is the bumpskid check with the vendors on the home page.

    Honestly I would not worry about it, as with the Spyder having so low clearance I'm sure it will get scraped again. I did my first scrape on my current F3T (my third Spyder) before I even hit 500 miles. I would just get a skid plate for it, and not worry anymore. Maybe some black paint to cover it if it shows?
    Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

    & looking at the list I see added speakers but no audio source? Guessing MP3, or headphone jack & amp somewhere on it. As far as the bumper goes
    Parts #1or#47 listed here :

    might be what they are talking about. & couldn't help but notice that rear tire will be needing help soon, atleast by next season

    hey ! that is a nice looking cycle , looks like it was well taken care of , from the photo in the ad, the bumper is scrapped ? or was that after ? seems like it pretty good to go on the front bump , or just hard to see !

    Hi hogowner,

    Re: does anyone know where I can get a replacement bumper???

    I made my own bump skid from a guy on here who made his own first.

    I am not good at doing a SEARCH but try to find the thread.

    Or send me an email at: jerrybaumchen(at)gmail(dot)com

    and I will send you back some info on how to make your own.

    Labor is usually on the "high" side. Figure a couple hours for three tires.

    Have you seen the Spyder in person? Be VERY cautious about any Craigslist deal where you can’t see the. Bike in person before paying. The scammers always have some reason why you can’t see it.

    Sorry if I’m stating the obvious, but while I was looking for my RT I came across several obvious scam listing on craigslist.
