Its been long enough that she may have shown up here with a new owner.
Be for spyderfest she would not start and on the way there she went into limp mode at 70 mph in a curve and lost steering...DPS...
One time to many she let me down so she did not come home with me.
I about got hung by my friends at the hotel when i pulled up on a 2013 Harley tri-glide.
Love my hot wheels but she did not love me back for the 2 years I owned her. The new owner who ever you my be, If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
I may end up with another spyder but not till BRP stops using Bosch electronics. I work on appliance's for a living and Bosch sucks more than any other brand out there. The spyder ROCKS! but the electronics need some work.
Congrats on the new ride...looks awesome! Sorry to hear you felt let down by your Spyder. I know you had done a lot of work (mods) on the Spyder and even burned the midnight oil getting her ready to show off at Spyderfest.
Your new tri-glide is one puuuuur-ty machine. Best of luck to you. Keep active on this board and let us know what you do to make that Harley "yours".

that triglide is the same coaler of my juke and looks grate you done what is best for you,and we dont car what you ride your still part of all of us so hang around we would miss you if you leave us .
Defector! Really sorry you went to the dark side. Maybe you just got a possessed Spyder as many seem to have. Sorry you couldn't stick it out with the Spyder you had modded so much. As far as the Bosch parts used, I doubt that is where the spyder problems are. Most of us out here have little or no problems. As an early adopter of the Spyder, I went thru various DPS problems and replacements (DPS is not made by Bosch BTW). They finally got the DPS problems fixed with the gen 2 units. I highly doubt BRP will stop using Bosch parts, I'm not even sure any other manufacturer makes the same kind of VSS parts that Bosch does. Many of the Bosch VSS parts were adopted from use in various high end cars (Porsche for one).
Good luck with your Harvey Danielson.... ;-)
