    If you could take the spyder platform and equip it with anything you wanted. How would you do it?


    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    I haven't taken the plunge simply because my better half says its too much money for a toy, simple as that.

    My object of obsession for the moment is a black ST-SE5. I rode one for the cone ride and a rode a black currant ST-Limited for my road ride last week at a Can AM demo event at ASK in Columbus. It was fun to say the least. I have to be perfectly honest about the ST-Limited. It felt squirrely to me. I have no previous experience to base that on. (ball joints maybe?)

    If I could take a Spyder platform and money were no object, I would have a Goldwing engine.

    The Spyder concept is brilliant though. It is going through an evolutionary process right now that I hope results in a legendary platform like the Goldwing. Honda has had around 38 years to get it right.

    Hannigan makes a two wheel kit for the GL1800, here is a photo of it with their trike kit also installed.

    Edit: interesting part of the link
    Although the front end could be put on the front of a standard Gold Wing to create a reverse trike and get around any legal issues, they found the position of the wheels created a slightly unstable setup which they still have to work on a bit so for now, the quad is the only option. The Can Am Spyder, in comparison, has the front wheels much further back compared to this setup and Dave is considering several ideas to get everything right.

    Thanks for the links! I had heard some rumblings about this about six months ago, but neglected to grab any links to it...
    I think that i still prefer the classic lines of the Ace Morgan though.
