That picture looks great! I am scheduled to visit the dealer on January 14 for the DPS replacement. I sure hope he doesn't have one of these sitting on the showroom floor, as I need to come home with my wallet in tact as much as possible.

Do you really want to start over again with your light show?

But, your are right; it would be awful tempting to go to the dealer and see one like that sitting there.

You have a point about the lights and starting over. I was actually wondering if I could talk the CFO into us being a 3 Spyder family. I think a snowball might have a better chance in Hades than I will of that though.

Might be time for a new CFO.

A third Spyder would be a much cheaper option than that! Besides, there is that whole love thing involved here as well.

Thank you everyone... Installed two of the mods this morning... Can Am's Side air wings and comfort seat... Poring today and I do not want the first few miles to be ugly road spray. To many mods to do and I want a clean ryde... Anyway... here are a few "Cheap" pics from my Epic cell phone...

[AMTJIM]

That is one sweet lookin' piece of Halloween.

I am lovin that color, congrats!

That's a nice bike. These new RS-S' are going to look stupid with touring crap on them though. They're really sporty looking stock.

I can hear it now, ahh Honey? Remember all those mods? I gotta start over!

[PCBeachBum]

Great color combo and I like the way they switched the paint, with the black on top and the bronze to below the trunk.

Thanks everyone... The tough part now is all the questioning we get at stop lights... I want to ryde not stop traffic

This color combination gets more "Conversations" going than the RT ever did. Part of it could be that I am one of very few driving anything else besides a car or truck. We buy to ryde, not store.

Anyway... Wife is very unhappy with the RS. We may have to get an RT again sooner than later... I will try a backrest and find a kit to lower the passenger pegs so she is not in the crunch position and see if that helps...

Best of luck with getting it comfortable enough for your wife as the passenger. The backrest should help a lot, as it will relieve the fear of falling off the back, and having to cling to you for support.

Thank you... Today we pick up the Two Brothers kit and the peg extenders. The weather calls for more snow so no ryding today . I figure this weekend I will mount a lot of these items and go from there.

The trunk showed up yesterday and frankly looks much better than I expected it to. I plan to add "Quick" disconnecting bolt heads of some type (Still needing to research those) that will allow me to remove the trunk when only ryding one up, and four clicks later I can have it re-mounted for two up ryding...

Unfortunately when I ordered my KewlMetal trunk mount system one part was "Borrowed" for another buyer and we are waiting for that piece/part to be manufactured so they can send me a complete kit...

So hopefully all of these tweaks will at least give her a safer feeling as a ryder, at least enough to still enjoy ryding together until we get a second Spyder.

[SpyderWolf]

Are you also going to be getting her a set of good quality ear plugs, or earphones for her MP3 player? The Two Brothers set up is not something I usually see fit into the comfort mods category. I do understand the power tip can quiet it down a bit, but have no personal experience with that.

We are currently under a blanket of ice that has been here for 2 days. It is bad enough that most of us have been told to not even try reporting for work. It has been many years since I have seen snow more than 1 time the whole winter, and this ice is a totally different story. The tops of several trees on our property have broken off due to the extra weight, so it will be interesting to see the total results of the damage once things thaw out again. Stay warm, and ryde safe.
