Spider-themed parts

[ArmyJoe]

I imagine I'm probably in the minority, but I don't like spider-themed parts for the Spyder. As most probably know, spyder is synonomous with roadster in Europe. I was curious where this trend started, so I took a look at the BRP site and I don't see a spider motif. So, who's responsible for popularizing the movement?

HAVING TALKED TO FACTORY REPS, BRP DIDN'T INTEND THE SPYDER TO BE CONSIDERED A BUG. MITSUBISHI HAS A SPYDER AND NOBODY EVER THOUGHT OF IT AS AN ARACHNOID. YOU WON'T EVERY SEE ANY BUGS ON MY SPYDER. BUT IT'S DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.:agree::yes:

VERY HAPPY SPYDER OWNER.

Don't know who is responsible but I believe it goes like this - It is YOUR spyder you can accessories as you see fit :D

[BRPjunkie]

Have you noticed the home page header of this site?

Some like the Spyder = spider theme, some don't. I am one that wouldn't do it on my Spyder but I sure don't begrudge anyone that does and I've seen quite a few nice spider themed Spyders (along with some nice Spiderman ones too).

:agree: :doorag:

The bug thing isn't my thing either. It's kind of disappointing to not see other options on mods -- flowers, lightning bolts, birds, anything else, really. I think it's just not popular enough to justify anything but the 'obvious' yet.

Mine is a Spyder Not a Spider

[TwinPeaks]

Mine isn't a bug, it looks more like a lobster!!! Yum, yum.:doorag:

You're absolutely correct. Our Spyders haven't been in production long enough to engender a plethora of after-market accessories. Whether or not such happens depends upon folks asking for them, or looking through catalogs, such as J.C. Whitney, to find items to adapt.:spyder:

Maybe a Scorpion. Sounds better than a CanAm Lobster

Here is a logo for your CanAm Roaster:

Maybe a Scorpion. Bob

Not knowing that the Spyder moniker was related to Roadster (gotta be careful when clever Shunkmanitu's online...), I too thought that Scorpion would be more appropriate than Spyder.

That said, I have liked some of the spider-themed gear. The only concession I've made to the arachnid group is a reflective spider on the back of my helmet. I doubt I'd buy any spider gear for the Spyder, but that's just because it doesn't fit well with my Army Spyder. So, if anyone wants to produce a reflective Army logo, I'll swear off spiders entirely...

I am a bit scared of spiders but not of my Spyder so no Spider accessories for me.

When the day comes I feel like going in the garage and squishing my motorcycle I'll go back to riding my BMW. :roflblack:

But I have wondered why no one has done a red and blue bike like Spiderman.

Maybe if you considered that Crabs and Lobsters are sea-going Spiders people might look more kindly on them. Vested interest here in the fact that I have attended SunDance of the Oyate Iktome Luta (Red Spider Family) I always feel thankful for them when I see desicated hornets and wasps under the spider webs on our West porch.

Having been bitten by a Coral Snake and a Rabid Dog and knowing of some of the spiders from other parts of the world I don't mind them around this area. Lots of worse things crawling around these Southern Pine Woods. Get a couple arms itching from walking in Chigger infested brush or have to treat a kid infected with hookworms from a playground sandbox.

It's a shame that Spyder Roadster didn't stick, just the Spyder part.

I'd much prefer a Roadster theme :ohyea:

Most of the time I tell people I'm taking my Roadster out, not a Spyder or motorcycle.

The Spiderman theme has been done too.

GIJoe, this thread is pretty funny coming from a guy who's avatar is a spider...LOL http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-046.gif Sorry, just couldn't resist.

I still think it's a "Roadmobile":ohyea::D

Yeah, I know... I set up the avatar before I actually had a Spyder. I've been meaning to make a new one, but haven't been inspired yet.

You do have to admire the effort and creativity of some owners in decorating their Spyders. Some awesome airbrushing. :clap:

[NewRider]

There is truly some gorgeous airbrush and vinyl stick-on artistry for our Spyders. Unfortunately, none close to me, that I'm aware of...:spyder:

[kytten]

I <3 those Spiderman paint jobs. OMG.
