SpyderWolf's Mods

[SpyderWolf]

I figured I have finally done enough things to warrant posting a thread of my Spyder modifications.

This is the front of my Spyder, with the graphics kit from Spyder Detailing and a Transformers Autobot logo. You can also see the fog lights:



My Black Powder Coated front wheels with BRP Caliper Trim Kit:



I just switched out my BRP Sport Touring windscreen for this Givi D770ST. I give it high marks as it still looks sporty, and I am no longer a bobble head going down the road:



This is my new Safety Card label, for the times the Spyder is parked and I don't want anyone messing with it. I have no intention of selling my Spyder, but if for some reason that time ever comes I am sure I can get a new stock one to replace this with:



This is a new license plate that South Carolina just came up with in 2009:



These are the BRP Custom Handlebar Grips:

Hindle Exhaust:



BRP Comfort Seat:



BRP Anti-Vibe bars with billet aluminum end caps. You can also see my Cramp Buster:



BRP Rear Sport Rack and Back Rest:


I think that was all that is worth taking pictures of right now. The rest of the items are listed in my signature.

If you have any questions about any of these items, let me know.

Looks great!! Like the windshield, I have the BRP touring & it hits my hand when backing tight after seeing yours I might have to change.

Thanks, I will post some more pictures of the graphics shortly. Be sure to tell the kids the ryder is the only thing that transforms on this Spyder, he becomes a grinning fool everytime he rydes it.

If you turn the bars all the way to one side or the other, my knuckles will barely touch the sides of the Givi screen. They never touched with the sport touring windshield, but at 5' 9" my head would get buffeted pretty badly. I kept all 3 screens I have so far, and may switch back to the sport touring when it becomes unbearably hot here in the summer. Have to test this one and see though. Not being buffeted may be worth being a little warmer.

Thanks Dean, now it is your turn to get started.

Thanks for answering that Pat. Peter does great work, and has some new designs on the site now called rain, that look like your bike is constantly wet.

Here are some more pictures of the graphics on my Spyder.

























That's it for now.

Thanks for the info on the windshields!

Thanks for the info on the windshields!

Gald to help.

In the last set of pictures I posted, I still had the BRP Sport Touring Windshield on, so you can see how much shorter it was than the Givi.

ESI had a booth set up at Destination Daytona during the 2010 bike week, and after seeing a couple of their products I decided I needed to add to my Spyder.

I had been resisting putting anything spider related on my Spyder for a long time, but these foot pegs looked so good that I gave in and got them along with the billet pedal covers.

Left side peg with extended parking brake pedal cover:



Right side peg with brake pedal cover:



I also got the LED Mud Flap Lights, which light up the Spyder very nicely and are a definite improvement for night ryding visibility.

Light off:



Light on:



Night time visibility improvements.

3/4 turn right side:

I also lost my license plate reflector on the way to Daytona, and had to come up with a solution to keep from getting a ticket. Thanks to Lamont for stating a Cateye light would fit, the technical assistance folks at J&P Cycles for taking a look at the Spyder and figuring out which light would work, and to Dustin the contracted J&P mechanic for getting it installed for me.

Here is the package to show the actual model number of the light in case anyone else is interested in it:



It does require 2 new holes to be drilled into the rear fender, so it is highly recommended to remove the rear fender first:



Once the light is installed and the fender back on you should be good to go:



If anyone knows where to get Millenium Yellow touch up paint for the two places the stock light rubbed the paint off, please let me know.

With the addition of this light, my Spyder now looks like this from the rear at night:



I believe that is some very good visibility now, and well worth the time, money, and effort it took to get the lighting mods done.

Thanks Doc, and it was nice to meet you in Daytona as well.

About three weeks before the Missouri Rendezvous I did the same thing based on your example. I never did like the stock reflector with license plate bulb. When the bulb shattered and I didn't have one small enough, I decided to chuck the whole thing. I remembered SpyderWolf replaced it with a Cateye light that I liked. Since you gave us the part number, I was able to order one online. Now, mine looks just like yours.

SpyderLovers members are the greatest source of information!!!

SpyderWolf has also helped me with some decisions.

I love this site!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpyderWolf]

Glad to hear this thread helped you out with your broken license plate issue as well. That's what sharing out here is all about, just like Spyder1026 is now helping me decide what suspension change to make first.

This site is definitely a great resource for finding help with anything you might need.

The latest edition is the Missing Air Dam kit made by SpyderPops, also known as Repops on this site.

Great quality product that fills a basic need to keep the engine running cooler.

Spyderwolf, love all the mods you have done so far. One thing has intrigued me for a while... its your modified safety card warning. It is tooooo goood!

Would you mind sharing where you got it from?

[deano_mn]

Can you also share where you got the transformer decal on the front?

[pjp623]

Very impressive!
Does that winshield work with up and out mirror extensions?

There is a seller on EBay that offers them every once in a while. I think he actually has a new one now that has the SpYder logo on it as well. Look up funny can-am stickers or something like that.

Can you also share where you got the transformer decal on the front?

It took me a while to find the right size one on EBay, and I finally got it from a seller named Digizon I believe. The first one I ordered was 3-D and nearly 2 inches too big in all directions. I think the size you want is 2.75 inches, but definitely needs to be under 3 inches.

Very impressive!
Does that winshield work with up and out mirror extensions?

I could install the Up and Out extensions with this windscreen without any problems if I wanted to. It is a little bit wider than the BRP Sport Touring, but still hugs the cougar head without any large overlap like the large touring screens have.

Hope that answers everyone's questions.

[grumpybob]

one of your mods for my SpYder and my truck. Will post pictures when I get them.
