What mods have you customed designed or re engineered for your spyder?
I know there are lots of custom built or rebuilt mods out there for us project minded spyder riders to work on. I am not speaking of mods out of the box unless it was not intend for this use and you were able to work with it. So while I have a long list of mods, for example I will list some of the ones I built or altered to work:
Small aluminum hanger bracket that clips to dash panel to hold drive grab bag
Driver grap bag modified to hold on with suction cups (use this for the small things like trash, window rag, place to stuff gloves etc)
Aluminum bracket that spring clams on center of dash to intall my video camera or other such equipment
Home made mud flab
So let me see what you have come up with , small or large
It's not nailed in place yet... but I've got a Stebel Nautilus that's gonna need some tinkering to fit!
That's on the pile; after the RonBar and GloRyders
Don't want to take all the credit on this one... my idea came from someone else on the forum. I refused to pay some 50 bucks for the BRP ipod holder, so I fabbed my own. I used an old web strap cut to length, removed to 2 screws on the right side of the inner frunk, pushed the screws through the strap, and hung an old blackberry case with belt hook on the strap. Best part, it was totally free as I had all the necessary party collecting dust in the house. IMG_0592.jpg

I was the first to add rubber and suggest that John do the same.
SealFloorboards originaly came with no rubber
I tried many different designs
I was going to ask John to rename them SealTicketfloorBaits, but choose not to pursue.....
modified my RT muffler to sound like a motorcycle.
RT muffler mod
Being an ex-harley guy I thought my RT sounded like a well made sewing machine, not acceptable. I took the stock muffler, band sawed it into thirds. Then took a cutting torch and burned EVERYTHING out of it. After welding it back together I took it to the local muffler shop and had them burn a hole in the end, insert a 2 1/4 inch pipe all the way up to the cat connection. welded the pipe securely at the rear of the muffler. I have had it ceramic coated (heat resistant). I did not use the rear cover on the muffler, But I did have the front heat shield coated as well. The sound is great & the look ( with good welding, and the ceramic coating) is quite good I think. get 12 inches past the end of the muffler with the pipe. I have run mine 5k mi since the modification with no temp. problems. no codes thrown. This I believe is because the oxy sensor is in the cat. and not in the muffler.-----Budro $50.00 muffler bought on line (just in case) $75.00 cutting & welding $100.00 at muffler shop $107.00 coatingGEDC0188.jpg
Wow, I am inpressed! Funny now sometimes the smallest of mods can make a huge differnence safety, usefullness or looks. I am looking forward to what more will be posted.

I Like that Front Grill ! Is it over the plastic or does it let in a significant amount off air?
