"Spyder's Triangle"

[effgjamis]

thanks again to all.

As to the seat... It is ok, much better than the one I had on the RS, however the one on the RS was off the shelf, This one they spent the day doing a fitment for my butt. It fact I will give it an A+.
A couple of issues.
1. They do not provide a means of holding the seat up if you find it neccessary to check brake fluid and to retreive your battery tender cable or if you need to charge or jump start.

2. The stitching on the seat leaks water... Now I need to fiind to waterprofing to fix that.

I highly recommend, if you go Corbin, to go to the factory and have it fit to you, well worth the stop since I was fairly close.

Yeo it is A+

A dude your size probably requires an all day butt fitment! others less?

Forrest, you are my hero for sure, One Totally Tough Dude!

Forrest. Doesn't your Corbin have the flip down stand with the roller on one end to hold the seat up? It doesn't hold it high enough IMO but it does hold it up several inches. Maybe they forgot to put yours on?

Hey Forrest. There should be a post up in the bottom of your seat that you can pull down to keep the seat up. It's pretty dog gone hidden up there and hard to see, but it should be there.

It doesn't really matter how big nor how tiny one's butt is but for long distance riding I do believe butt fitment is neccessary for a bit of comfort..... Now for those who think that is funny, " Cjackg " you only have one good leg to ride with... well at the moment that is.
Keep on peddling that stand still bike and get the leg working..
Hopefully you will be riding long distance soon....

If it's there I can't find it and I called Corbin, and they said it doesn't come with a stand.... Hummmm interesting huh ???

Well bull- pucky to that! I'll get a pic of mine posted, unless someone beats me to it! Should be standard issue on all if the seats??? They owe you a stand!

Pics posted below. The little rubber wheel came off one end, but it is definitely a stand.

...from "Spyder Triangle" to "Forrest Triangle" in order to observe that he is the first (and so far only) to finish the 8,150 miles route: Florida (West-Central), New York (Lake Placid), California (Eureka) and back to Florida, covering two Spyder events (Spyders in the Adirondacks Rally and Spyders in the Redwoods).
All for this change?

Hey Doc, have you got your Spyder back yet?

Doc is going thru withdrawls. I think someone saw him at the dealer sitting on and orange and black RS. He was making engine sounds and pretending to be riding.

Unfortunately too many of us have experienced those same frustrations. Being the icon Doc is in the Spyder family and considering the withdrawals he's, "Going thru", BRP should reconsider service and repair. We tend to forget the previous problems when we get back on the road again. Doc, I sympathize.

What does Doc's current withdrawal have to do with BRP's service and repair? He's having his motor built for his turbo setup by another builder that is not BRP or a dealer and he's still waiting to have his bike shipped back from the shipping company.

Only the shadow knows.... What's up ????

[rogerb]

Doc I can sympathize with you. Just got my bike back after only two weeks and that was bad enough. Had to cancel a trip. New throttle body, rear bearings and race and new solenoid for trailer wiring (back ordered since July). Dealer did his best and BRP warrantied everything. I don't think I could go as long as you have without a Spyder. Life's too short.
