I almost feel bad, I love the stock look of the :spyder2: (okay, put 'stock' in quotes since mines a phantom!)

But after having put 5k miles on it (yay!). I realized there was a few things I could really use.

Trunk popper - very simple, got it off ebay, gotta be the best 10 bucks and 10 min I've spent in a long time! Got a RAM mount with an Aquabox for my garmin Nuvi 205.

Big thing I found I needed was more storage! And, with the gear I've got for the bike (see the profile pic!) I knew i had to go with the corbin's! Considering I was able to install them, and that says a lot since I'm an engineer and am NOT very mechanically inclined, they aren't as hard to install as you would think.

Oh, yeah, for pics, see my Mod album found here http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=895

Love to hear what people think! (personally, I LOVE the matte black bags!)

Very nice. I love the matte finish too, especially in this pic.

Great work.
Can you share the website or the ebay link where you bought the Trunk Popper.

It is very annoying to turn the key and to bend over to open the trunk.
