    Thanks! I will try to get the casting number off my bike today and the part number so you can figure out which sprocket you need to get.

    Default What I learned today

    Today at the BMV I learned when you turn an alarm on, you have to remember to turn it off when you get back on your bike!

    That looks great Amanda. Your foot pegs and pedal adapters look very familiar for some reason, I just can't put my finger on it.

    Default Bike show

    Thanks! The bike show is tomorrow and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate! Any suggestions on a quick patch on the sprocket? Just something that will last for the show?

    Default Okay...another mod already

    Who said I'd still be modding? I guess you were right. I am going to install day runners today!

    Default Day runners

    One picture is with the flash on the camera off (you'll see they look brighter then, which gives a better idea how bright these are). The install is pretty easy, unless like me you put your hand up where you shouldn't and get it stuck. There are some tight spots on this bike! Next time I do an install I'm going to have my cell phone close just in case...lol!

    That's another mod I did...kidding! Camera angle and where I was sitting, I was almost straight ahead of the tire on the left side of the picture. I went out and moved the tires just a second ago and sat where I took the picture, though they are both turned they don't look like it from where I was sitting. Optical illusion, I had noticed that too!

    Those look good as well.

    As far as the sprocket deal goes, the only thing I can think of is to try to keep their attention focused more on the front of the Spyder. There may be a slight chance they don't even notice, depending on how serious of a show this is.

    I am going to a small show tomorrow as well, but it is mostly a fun thing for charity. When I called the guy who is setting it up, he said he would probably put me in with the sport bikes as he has no idea where else my Spyder could fit in.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!

    Depending on the flaws perhaps you could position the sprocket where the part you dont want noticed is behind the rear swing arm...that would be my suggestion unless the cover is in a fixed position? The other option is set up a display and put the majority of it in front of the rear wheel. Displays are a creative and inexpensive way to draw more attention to your vehicle and in some cases get you extra points at certain shows. Sorry, best options I could think of other than cutting it off entirely?

    I know its not a spyder but this is my old s-10 Blazer...did most of the work myself and I have been to a ton of shows so if there is anything I can help with as far as ideas for presentation, shoot me a pm and lets chat.=)

    Default I think...

    I think if I can position it right it won't even show. I don't know how serious they will be looking at it anyway.

    That would be the easiest fix for sure...I have found most people look at vehicles for about a minute or so and move on, first impression is king. Usually unless they are judges or own the same vehicle they dont look all that close. I hope I am not sounding like "a know it all". I am just trying to help out Amanda and I have no idea what experience you have with shows...hope you werent offended by my suggestions.

    Default Very nice blazer...

    I really like the blazer! Did you do the paint? I wish I were better at doing mods.

    Your Spyder looks awesome and thank you Amanda.

    I did the design but someone sprayed it for me since I didn't have the equipment. (BTW the words in the paint are 1st Cor 1:18) Hope to do similar to the Spyder one day.
