Just finished installing a BumpSkid on my 2011 RS, it took me about two and a half hours and it was a fairly straight forward, easy job. I'm very impressed with the quality of the components, way better than BRP's. My original skid plate did not survive my Colorado's adventures, I'm sure the BumpSkid should score better.

Yea, its my opinion, you gotta have this mod. Its essential for protecting the nose on this machine. The nose is just a piece of plastic, afterall.

There are too many stories of catching something at speeed with the nose, and the tuppware loses,...

Looks good too! :rolleyes:

I had a bump skid installed at Spyderpops along with the catalytic heat shields and i think they are really awesome and help protect my investment on my 2012 Lava Bronze RT Ltd. thanks Spyderpops

Hi Hector.. it looks great dude!!:thumbup: I guess you got the best of both worlds: do some trail riding in Colorado and replace parts in your Spyder for better ones ;)

My Spyder is all disassembled and waiting for: the tupperware to be back from the paint shop, exhaust pipes to be ceramic coated, new tires to be mounted in the new powder coated wheels, installing new oil pressure and battery gauges, mounting freshly powder coated rider and passenger pegs, amd the list goes on and on...

Yes, we do installs in our shop in Pearcy, AR. it is 13mi. outside of Hot Springs and close to some really great riding.

We require An appointment because the owner likes to ride his Spyder for days at a time.

Nice job... I'm starting my Spyderprops installation marathon today!...bought just about every RS item on the page! Nice to see it is a straight forward job. I got a little lesson in what heat is by moving out here to Vegas...looking forward to the heat control improvements

I am not sure which events he goes to but he does go to several and he will do installs at the events
