Thanks, Lamont. I love that he left little glimpses of the original Spyder here and there.

What a difference some paint makes. :thumbup:

That is one awesome looking machine.

[Firefly]

Amazing stuff. I'd like to see under the panels. Looks like a much wider stance than stock Spyder.

Is Prong's custom spyder still carrying the heavy, tootsie roll, sewing machine sounding stock exhaust? You know the one that nobody likes. I could be wrong though.

How did I miss this thread?! Thanks Lamont for posting our Flickr Album. I've got plenty more pics on Picasa and there is an online album of us on Mulholland with another Spyder while taping the Speed TV show.

Not really. That trike was never built as far as I know. Our vehicle was inspired by the Volkswagen GX3 concept. The lawyers didn't let them build it so I made my own!

We were and it was so ugly. We now run the Leo Vince exhaust, which is really loud, but helped lose 12lbs off the rear of the vehicle. All that titanium and carbon fiber doesn't look too shabby either.

And thanks everyone for the compliments. It really means a lot!

Thanks! We did lengthen the wheelbase to fit the driver/passenger inside the vehicle instead of on top of it. We've also widened the track. Both of these changes improved the ride and stability of the vehicle.

Musta' changed out the muffler after the video! :D I like it, sorta like riding a Spyder side-saddle.

Townsend Bell called it a "side by side" on the Speed TV episode. The muffler was changed out btween those two videos. The mountain drive is with the Leo Vince, but I was keeping revs under 6000 since we're still in break-in period.

Thanks! You can see it in person sometime.

I dunno, that's a pretty long drive. I've got two little ones and can't be away for too long. I also don't know what BRP is gonna think...

I was riding sweep behind Hong on the ride to Alice's Restaurant. It sounded pretty sweet to me but sometimes its hard to hear others over my Micron. His ride really looks cool going down the road.

I like your Spyder and I also like the stock muffler. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
