Does anyone know if the handbrake will fit a 2018? The site says through 2017, but not sure if they have it up to date. Sent them a note several days back but no response. Thanks
I think it is a fairly small shop and some might be on vacation over Thanksgiving.
If you don't hear back in a few more days, give them a call.
P.S. If I ever get mine working, I would be happy to arrange a test ride before you shell out $$$$ for something you might not like.
The problem with ryding with your foot on the pedal is it will throw out codes and limp modes. Many would feel better if they could and the solution is to install a stronger spring that will not depress the pedal with the weight of your foot but still make braking easy. With pegs you just have to slide your foot forward and press the brake but with floor boards you do have more of a problem. :thumbup:
With my Seal Floorboards, you can rotate on the ball of your foot or your heel, depending where your foot is. They also fit easily on your RT's that have BRP floorboards. Remember, $75. off on any style Seal thru Christmas.
Ride in comfort,

The reason I went to the Spyder was to get away from the hand brake and clutch. When you have arthritis in your hands the last thing you want is hand controls. I had
a gold wing trike before the Syder and find the Spyder works just fine for me. I hope they never put hand brakes on this machine it is fine just the way it is.
I put "pushes" in quotes because I don't know if it pulls or pushes.
Regardless of how, the brake pedal assembly moves just as if you put your foot on it.
And my other comments weren't really fair.....or accurate.
Turns out that a slight mistake I made was casing the braking force to drop off rather dramatically.
Now that I have corrected that, the braking force is back to adequate again.
Dealer has installed a weaker return spring. I am anxious to see how that impacts the force required to pull it.
Has anyone found a fix for this? My right leg is cramping from having to lift and put on the brake. I did install the brake pedal extender and it doesnt seem to have helped much.
Larryd: How about sharing your thoughts.
Foot pegs allow you to swivel, boards do not.
