    Default Spyder Snob???

    Spent the evening installing Elkas on the front of my RT. Whilst struggling through a couple of hard to reach bolts, it dawned on me that my collection of mods is growing.

    Base unit was an RT w/ A&C package

    Have added;
    BRP foglights,
    BRP electronic rear lift,
    BRP tow hitch,
    Garmin Zumo 660 w/ BRP mount,
    "Yol Bolsun" reflective vinyl lettering,
    gremlin bell,
    Utopia backrest,
    mirror mounted LED turn signals,
    HMT Brake light,
    RT HMT Brake Light Dual Converter Unit,
    Elka Shocks (Front)

    Are all motorcycles this way? Where is the GA chapter of Spyders Anonymous?

    Nice list of mods . Do you think after doing the mods you would have been better off with a RTS ? Just wondering about the price difference ?
    Happy Owner

    I'm working on that! House has been framed and should be ready by the end of the year. Everything we own is in a storage facility in Las Vegas. Heading off tomorrow on leg 2 of our big adventure. North Carolina to visit the grandkids for a few days.

    Yes, and classes are starting soon.

    Step 1: Make a list of mods you already have
    Step 2: Make a list of mods you don't have
    Step 3: Buy all the stuff on list made at Step 2
    Step 4: Skip remaining steps. You won't have the time anyway because you'll be to busy installing and enjoying all your new mods!

    Since there is no cure, you might as well go with it!

    Wife is getting nervous about my Christmas present now. Hope she doesn't get mad at Lamont.

    As a fellow "Modster"; I sympathize with you for the situation that you have found yourself thrust into...
    You bought the PERFECT bike, and then proceeded to find ways to make it even MORE perfect...
    There is no cure for this affliction...
    You will continue to pile up receipts until you find your next project! (Or your Wife kills you!)
    So relax and enjoy the ride!!
