I've been busy...

[SpyderGirl]

Since getting back from our cross-country trip I've been busy. I have added:



ESI 4" risers (with my 1" BRP riser) painted flat black
Roadkrome rear trunk rack
Mutazu DB Lighted Trunk (customized)
Jensen MSR2107 XM/AM/FM/iPOD amplified marine stereo
(4) 50w speakers (front/rear)
Kewlmetal mirror extensions
Amber sidelights
Relocated license plate mount with LED lighted frame


Here are some pics I just snapped in my garage. I'll get her out later this week and get some outside pictures and video of the stereo. Enjoy!


(and yes... I am STILL waiting on my new plate from the DMV from when I lost it on my road trip in September... GRR!!)

Very nice. Gotta love a customized Spyder. The back seat area looks real comfortable with the rear bag to lean back against.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Very Nice SpyderGirl :clap:
Did you have any problem using the 4" risers with the 1" BRP riser ???

Yes, it is nice, cozy, and comfy.

No problems at all. Whoever put our Spyder together gave us the most ideal length on the wires and cables. I didn't have to cut any zip-ties or anything. It already has 100+ miles road testing and ZERO issues.

You have been busy...looks great... I looked at Roadkrome's wedsite for the rack...couldn't tell how it attached to the Spyder.... pictures? Thanks...

Under the seat in the rear where the rear side panels are fastened on either side. I will get photos for you soon.

I have to say that I am very pleased with the way it turned out. The trunk is sub-par... but you get what you pay for. At least it lights up, holds a full face helmet, and the color matches the silver on the Spyder almost perfectly. I love the way the Spyder handles now with the risers, it seems to steer easier and it's nice to be able to see the road and not your shoulders or hands. The stereo is also pretty nice. I am still tweaking it and I need to find an old iPod to use with it because it won't charge my 5th gen Nano or my iPhone while playing.

I am also debating on putting a rear fender of some sort back on once I get the mounts repaired. Any thoughts?????

Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming.

[SpyderGirl]

I wish we had this set-up for our cross-country trip... oh well, next time.

But this should be nice for our trip to AZ at the end of August... it's about 850 miles away. We'll be riding with our dirt bikes in tow. :D

I followed the link you had for the arm rests.. and looked at their installation instructions.. http://www.industrialspecialty.com/armrest_installation_instruction.pdf

Is that the same mounting point for your RoadKrome rack? Thanks...

Yes, EXACTLY.

[SpyderWolf]

Those arm rests look very interesting. You will definitely have to post pictures, and give us an overall review of them once you get them installed. :thumbup:

I'll be giving them a buzz tomorrow so I can get in on the holiday sale. I'm sure they'll be great.

[Hamie]

Yes, EXACTLY.

Found a dealer on eBay that sells the stuff.

Here is a link to his eBay page: http://stores.ebay.com/2nd-gear-Motorcycle-Deals

Just e-mail him directly and specifically ask for the rear rack set-up he sold to me. He should know. I believe it was $150 total.

Armrests are coming :yes:

Thanks again for your help..... Hamie

Awesome! :thumbup:

Mounting is fairly easy and straightforward. You'll have to remove the side pieces on the rear and the tailpiece to install.

Also, I had to modify my rear Corbin seat because the rack blocks the key hole access needed to unlock the seat from the base.

spydergirl...show us photo with armrest

They should be here this week. I'll snap some pics once they are installed. :2thumbs:

[zavalza]

Can you post some photos of the way to install the speakers in the front and back?

I put my first 2 using clamps and fixed them in the handlebar but it seems yours are on the dashboard section and also want to add 2 in the back but not surehow to do it :)

I have the Givi bags installed and no sports rack or back rest

thanks in advance

Yes, I can take care of this. I'll get some more pics and post them up.

The Spyder is going down to Corbin on April 3rd to get the lock on the rear seat moved as the RoadKrome rack interferes/blocks access to the lock that operates the latching mechanism. The rear speakers are mounted to the rear rack on either side.

Looks great!!:2thumbs:
