Well folks, Have been the proud owner of the '08 GS for over 4 years, made lots of mods, went on lots of great rides, met lots of folks (still got questions at gas stations, etc.), but, it was time for a change. Traded it on Saturday (got Blue Book $8300.00) for a 2013 Road Glide Custom. Haven't owned a Harley since 1986. This was my 59th Birthday present from the wife (GREAT wife). In four short years, the Spyder has become as much of a following/cult as the H-D. A huge amount of the credit goes to Lamont. I was glad to meet you, of all places, at Deals Gap, Motorcycle Mecca. You have done this croud great justice.

Let the modifications begin!

Sorry to see Spyder out the door but welcome to join GSR any time. Keep an eye on the forum.

Dark Side? I don't think so, only important THAT you ride.

I borrowed this one from H-D site, but, this is it. Color is Candy orange, same as pict. Takes on different shades in different light. Looks red in the garage.
