Picked up my new 2014 st limted about 4 weeks ago. We weren't even looking at buying a new spyder as we still loved our 09 phantom. But we couldn't pass up such a great deal on a "used" spyder. I say "used" as it only had 176 miles on it. That helped knock off $6k grand off new list price. Then they gave me a good trade in value for the phantom.

I've already had timber wolf apart about 3 times putting in custom lights. I liked the tric led fender lights but didnt have that kind of money to buy them so I made my own and added a relay so I could connect them to the turn signal. I also made a third brake light by lighting up the red reflector above the license plate. Then I did my custom ground effect lights again. Its the 4th spyder I've done now so I've got most of my bugs worked out. :)

Working on my list of what to do next. But as is this is a great ride.

:congrats: Nice bike really like the lights you did. Blackmans has in my opinion a great service department. I didn't buy my bike there but I use them for service. Their tech Dana is good guy.

Congrats that's a great deal! How do you like it compared to your 09 RS?

The seat is more comfortable, cruise control is very nice to have, radio is freakin awesome, gps well why not, cant wait to use the heated grips, also like the semi auto shifting as well. One of the other things I never really thought of is something as simple as the head lights. With the rs those headlights to other drivers look like i'm flashing my headlights. So I got people flashing their lights back at me or even just putting their high beams on and blind me.

We have no regrets on getting the new spyder. It kind of resparked the fun.

I put on more than 176 miles driving my Spyder home - that's as good as new with a great savings! Congrats!
