Got in trouble the other day with the wife, cuz I was obsessing on the new spyder maybe a bit too much...not that anybody else here has done that right?welcome
So, after volunteering to take the kids to school, take her out to dinner, flowers a card even, well, I'm out of the dog house and have the right to feel guilt free to add more mods to the spyder...yea!

Put on the backrest and kewlmetal passenger pegs, spyder vinyl graphics and NMN neon lights. Did the 8 pack led's and came out pretty sweet

Thanks!
NMN sends the 8 light kits with 2 remotes, so they are controlled on/off/light pattern, etc by the buttons on the remote. We can't legally have these operating while driving, but any other parked location is fine and yes, I will probably run them anytime I go out and park :spyder: for a few hours or so at night.
I found it hard to take good night videos of these lights, since the camera can't catch the lighting like our naked eyes can, but they really look very sweet and draw a lot of attention.

One of my favorite mods so far.

I like how your back tire accents look, where did you end up mounting the LEDs to get that effect

Thanks,
I put one directly attached to the panel under the seat, (ran the actual wire inside that panel) and one on the inside on the bracket that goes between the exhaust and the tire. See pics.
Since the rear tire area is so prominent on these bikes, it seemed like the best location to get lots of extra light, so I put 2 in that region.

Why the flowers, card and dinner?????
My girl is just the opposite, she loves all the Spyder stuff and is happy that I love it so much. Then again, she doesn't believe in the hallmark holiday either.
Looks great !
