WOW, that Spyder looks awesome. The color choice could'nt be better too. :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs::firstplace:

[DannyS]

Very Nice! very tastefully done not to over the top, it really pops. Love the muffler how loud is it. Where did you find someone to chrome the plastic vent screens?:thumbup:

[tatt2r]

look awesome .... i really like the chrome ..but i know me and it would not stay clean.... im still scrapping bugs off mine from driving to lamonts...:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

[Roaddog2]

:firstplace: Nice Job :firstplace:

[Brevet05]

That's fantastic! I saw one that color in Lacey, WA, but it wasn't nearly as impressive as yours. Are you going to leave the reflectors off of the fenders? Thay make a big difference at night.

[Donzo]

Outstanding!

[COOLMACHINE]

I want one! :clap:Nice Job!

[Roger]

When my future dealer offered to paint my bike any color i want this was my choice now it is getting very common i may have to rethink my choice. Your bike looks awesome congrates. :2thumbs::clap::2thumbs::clap::2thumbs:

[chascarpenter1]

Awesome really just awesome! Great use of color to accent the lines of the spyder. I think your vision is what a standard paint scheme should look like and the chrome just pops. Great job I love to see peoples ideas come to life.

I do have one question: for those who have painted their spyder; Are there any limitations to painting the cougar head? I've noticed that many choose to keep this the factory matte black.

[Firefly]

:thumbup::thumbup::congrats:

Amazing looking bike!

Nice in-progress pics too. I'm not sure I've seen a chromed swing-arm yet.

WOW!

[NautiBrit]

Now that's a Spyder to be proud of. Great job.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

By far the best looking spyder I have ever seen.:2thumbs:

[jimclarkf1]

Very very nice. I like the color. You should think about getting a Corbin seat, they are well worth the money. :thumbup:

I am also wondering where you found someone to chrome the palstic parts, or were those fabricated?

[porboy]

That is sweeter than my old ladies backside.....:roflblack: And if you've seen her, well you know. MMMMMMMMMM!

Serious thought. Very clean, well thought out. That should get you a few show trophies. Nice job.:thumbup:

[XXX 74]

All,

Thank you so much for all the comments... Im very happy with the outcome... like I said it is "done" (meaning there is more coming...)

I went to the NSCRA event at Palm Beach International Raceway (old Moroso) for an event and got a 1st place...
The people from the event asked me to take the bike on the 1/4 mile strip to show it off to all the public. Lots of people taking pictures... on my way back to my spot people were asking me to stop to take pics... I got to my original spot and at some point there was a line of people waiting to take a pic with the bike...

Here are some pics SLAMMED to the ground !

notice how I replaced the BRP logo in the front with a TRANSFORMERS Decepticon logo :thumbup::2thumbs::thumbup::2thumbs:

some kids were talking to the bike asking it to transform... that was to die for !:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[SpyderWolf]

:congrats: on all the wins.

Where did you get the Decepticon logo? I was actually thinking about having the Autobots logo painted on the hood of mine, but that may be a more subtle, yet still cool approach to it.

[XXX 74]

Thank you all for all the kind words and feedback. But I forgot to mention how cool the remote controlled air suspension is.. the generous folks at KewlMetal make the air suspension that is not only cool looking with the polished air piston for the rear but tremendously enhance the riding experience. Imagine looking at the bike while parked and while others are drooling over the bike, you secretly hit the remote and lower the bike before their eyes and watch the crowd in total amazement.
The exhaust is truly more of an aggressive addition that does indeed affect the performance of the already torque-y bike. There are a couple of additions that are currently in transit and I will post the fotos as soon as I install them.. Not to be overly dramatic, but you all will have to wait for the unveiling. We have been very lucky to have partnered with the generous folks at KewlMetal as they share our vision with this candy mandarine Spyder.
Please check out their other stylish products at www.kewlmetal.com for more great ideas. :ohyea::ohyea::ohyea:

Thanks! I will have to keep my eyes open for one now. Of course if we ever meet there can be no Autobot versus Decepticon battles. ;)

XXX 74, Awesome, that's just a great looking ride. I love the chrome and the color. Great job by all.

funny.. I have an extra plastic piece in chrome with the autobot symbol in it... I can switch it at any time ;).. i still like the decepticon symbol better !:2thumbs:

There is no limitation to paint it.. I just think it looks great in black. It also opens to adding some accents to it...


By far the best looking spyder I have ever seen.:2thumbs:

WOW. that is a huge complement being that there are a lot of really nice spyders out there. Thanks !! :thumbup:


nothing but class, I bet you really get the people going NUTS:clap:. any chance it might see any big car or bike shows, what about STURGIS next Aug. LOVE TO SEE IT THERE:clap:

What is STURGIS? where is it?



Very very nice. I like the color. You should think about getting a Corbin seat, they are well worth the money. :thumbup:

Well.. I have other plans... you will see them later...


Hay xxx74 I'm riding tonight. Are you? Or is it just for show. lol It looks beautiful can't wait to see it. I'm going to Daytona Thursday. Will you be there?? How about Hooters Wednesday. Give me a call 954-292-7503

We need to hook up... Wednesday - Hooters @ Pines :thumbup:


Awesome job! :congrats:

I am also wondering where you found someone to chrome the palstic parts, or were those fabricated?


they were chromed. A lot of chroming places also chrome plastic...;)

[DannyS]

xxx74 I noticed on the left side photo that the tab is showing on the top cover, mine does the same thing. Is anyone else having the same problem. What is the "cure" for this? I have had to cover off many times and I can't seem to keep the center cover down so the tab won't show.:dontknow:

[BumbleBee]

That is one heck of a ryde. WOW, love the exhaust :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

You are going to draw a lot of attention :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

[SpyderByter]

Very nice. The color is fantastic, and the overall look even better.

I was avoiding chrome myself, but after seeing yours done, I may do some of the lower parts. I have NMN's wizard kit installed and they would reflect nicely.

[jnt]

:2thumbs: WOW! I do like the chrome!! :clap:Great color!:doorag:

Thanks,
I think Im going to get a set of LED's ligths aswell... there are a lot of options out there for the lights and I am doing my research...

I like to do a lot of research and take my time when I put anything on any of the toys... I want to make sure that im satisfied with any product I get and potentially recommend further...

Thank you so much! I was not a fan of the orange color either.. Then I saw how this specific color looked and I just had to have it on the Spyder. It is actually called Candy Mandarine. I could not be happier with the way it came out...

"splendid detail.... superb"... WOW those are big words!!! thank you so much... When I was working on the combination for the bike I had the Hindle exhaust... Then I was looking at the KewlMetal exhaust and I just had to go in that direction... I sent the metal part to color match the bike and the rest is History... it really complements the bike as well as the Air Suspension...

[burg650]

XXX 74 your Spyder is truly a work of art, love that orange. When I was thinking of getting a Spyder I almost got the gray as I was planning of painting it orange with some aqua blur like my SSR but after seeing the yellow I changed my mine. The orange goes very well with all your chrome, you should be proud of your work and ride it with pride.

thank you very much ! Mine was originally gray.. I got it that color knowing that I was going to change it.. not that there is anything wrong with the color but when I got the Spyder I knew I was getting it and changing it...
I was going to take it from the dealer to the shop but wifey suggested I should ride it a bit and get the first service done before taking it appart... So I listened (i know who is the boss :D)...

I just got the mono seat on the mail today... tomorrow it goes to the shop for painting... I think the mono seat gives the bike a great accent...

There are other things that im working on... maybe in two weeks they will be done...

Im going to an event this Sunday and i will compete with the Spyder and the 350ZR... www.modcarshow.com I will keep you posted of the outcome...
