I added a GIVI V46 with clear lens trunk to compliment my clear LED third brake / running light. Just need clear taillights. :D

Hey Spydergirl, looking good !!:thumbup:

thanks for sharing!

I know where you got that from.

Haha... no you don't! :P

You think you do, but you're wrong. BTW... have you got yours yet?

[Venym]

wow that Givi Bag looks great! :bowdown: Where or how did you take the red out and put in the clear. I have a givi too. The clear is so freakin cool. here is a pic of my bag.

[Venym]

after doing some research. It looks like mine (E450) does not come in the clear lenses :gaah: :mad: It sure does look sharp though! :2thumbs:

Looks great I like the clear lens:thumbup::2thumbs:

[ARtraveler]

Very nice looking set up. :agree:

I have the E55 Tech GIVI trunk now. The "tech" is what means it has the clear lenses. It doesn't cost any extra when you purchase it with the tech lenses. Not sure you can buy the lenses clear and replace your red ones. :dontknow:

The V46 is now on the hubby's phantom Spyder.

[Venym]

Thanks for the input. I love the look of the E55 tech. It looks much bigger though.

[Raptor]

Yup, nice setup. How is the Rover's Spyder comin? His was lookin pretty good too last pic I saw, but that was a while ago.

I don't know if I can bring myself to hang all that luggage on 14, man! All I can think about is how much drag it's gonna produce! :D

It is much bigger, but it looks good on there, even without the saddlebags. My neighbor has the same trunk on his with no saddlebags and it looks nice.

Geoff doesn't really care too much about those things. He just likes to cruise. :)

I will get some more recent pics of his up soon.

Whoa, Nellie! I'm thinking there is a story attached to this pic. What's up, girl? Are you just putting a new sway bar on perhaps or are you having alignment issues? I think I am too. My right front tire is wearing on the inside. The left front is perfect. Never noticed it until this evening...

The tires are actually wearing perfectly even and are the original tires with over 31,500 miles. The photo is of the Spyder at the dealer getting the new DPS installed. This photo was taken after the old DPS was taken out and before then new one was put in.

The sway bar is actually going in this Friday. :D

[SpyderGirl]

So I got the Corbin fairing back from the body shop today and it turned out really nice. I'm still waiting for the sway bar and the HMF pipe to come in today, but in the meantime here are pictures of Charlotte's new look. :)

How are you liking the way it rides with the fairing? Ive only ridden a few 100 miles with mine- love the way it changes the aerodynamics but still getting use to the look.

Haven't gotten a chance to ride it with the taller windshield, but I like how the fairing keeps the air off my body. As for the look, I didn't like it the first time I saw it on Corbin's website, but then when I saw it in person I liked it a lot more. And then when they made it two-tone I liked it even more than that. I'm happy with the way it looks. It's unique, like me. :D

:congrats: on your latest mods. They look really good as well. :2thumbs:

I know she is installing an HMF exhaust this weekend so i can't wait to see and here it hopefully she takes video even though there is video on you tube. i also ordered the sameone as she did but what i like about it is alot lighter than stock and is only 4-6 dbs louder than stock but i also ordered the quite core which will reduce the dbs by 2-4 good price also $229.00

I am seriously interested in the HMF and want to know if there are any issues with the installation of it. I am tired of having to fix the heat shields on the Hindle. They are back to rattling again and driving me nuts.

[Roger]

I know what you mean i bought the hindle cause i like the smaller size and it sounded good but that louder noise gets old fast and my heatshield is off of it still nicely painted i had larger rivets in it but that did not last long so i figured find something mild and lighter and thats what i found.

I put the HMF pipe on last week. I got it on Ebay for 229.00 and free shipping. The best thing about it was they sent me a carbon fiber pipe instead of the polished aluminum that I ordered. This was a hundred dollar mistake on there part. YEE HAA !!! I will take it. Great pipe. Way louder, (which I wanted for safety and a little bit of head turning attention) and more of a growl than the stock sewing machine sound from the oversized heavy stock one. Only issue was mine was slightly ovaled where you connect it to the spyder pipe so I took it to a muffler shop and they made it round again (no charge). Other than that issue you will need to put the holding clamp (to the frame) on the outside instead of the inside (like the stock one is) or it will hit the frame. Awsome pipe. It is 103 decibals. I saw the video on Utube about that hindle pipe heat shield rattle. I would flip out and go nuts to that company !!! You will like the HMF if you get one, I sure do.

[SpyderGirl]

I put the HMF on Friday night and did two rides over the weekend with it on. I like the sound of it, very similar to the Hindle as far as volume. The rattling of the heat shield on the Hindle was most annoying. The hubby put the Hindle on his Spyder instead. So far I am happy with the purchase of the HMF. The throttle response seems to be a little better too, but that could be my imagination.

For the price and the quality, the HMF seems to be a winner in my book.

Cool mine will be here today plus i also added the quite core to it.

[SpyderGirl]

I have since added some pin-striping to the new fairing and some other spots on the Spyder.

:thumbup:Nice!!!

[SpyderWolf]

Thanks for all of the info on the HMF pipe. I am going to redo the rivets on my Hindle one more time, I don't think I will be able to do it anymore after that anyway, and then will likely switch it out.

Nice job on the pin striping as well. :thumbup:

I need to get some more pics with the HMF pipe installed. I am very happy with the sound. :2thumbs:

I want to make the footpeg stays and handlebar steering cover match the finish of the HMF pipe to finish the look. I also need to get my hitch powder coated black and get a black rear wheel.

And yes, I will get a video but it sounds a lot like the Hindle IMHO.

[groundeffect]

Looking good!:thumbup:

[Roger]

I like a fool thought i was feeling better and went and installed my hmf exhaust i did take video but i need to be back in bed. After watching several videos of the pipe it sounds louder than stock more throaty than the hindle i don't know if it is louder than the hindle but video it seems way off to compared what it really sounds like.

She's SF based now but she's an Indiana girl. This is a 49ers and Colts household. She's been a Colts fan since they were pitiful and I've been a 49ers fan since they were awesome. Now the tables are turned but we both cheer for both.

It's vinyl.

I drilled them out and used a slightly larger rivet. It is time to do it once again, and then I may not be able to do it anymore. Someone else on here actually used a bolt and some nuts, but I didn't really want to go that route yet.


Buy a HMF. :roflblack:

This will probably be what I end up doing after I cannot fix it with new rivets anymore. :D

Question for the group. My :spyder2:'s bill of sale states that it has a "Tuyau Echap. Racing Exhaust." Is that a Hindle? If it is, I sure hope it does not give me the kind of trouble mentioned in some of posts here. I do not think my "racing exhaust" is loud, but what do I know? Would the speed one drives have any effect on rattling or ongoing problems? I have only driven mine once and doubt if I ever drive it in 5th gear.:spyder:

Looking at the picture of your Spyder, I would say that you have the Hindle exhaust.
