I'm in the Utica/Shelby area so might be able to make it to Flint. Keep me informed of plans if you don't mind another Spyder running around.

Any ideas...
Handle bars have left/right play about 15 degrees. Was there when picked up bike, but not as much. at 300 miles, noticeable to point of some roads not being safe to go down. Took it in...
I get alot of the "does is steer from the back?" question
About 25% of the time the cops pull me over (to see what it is), they'll ask "is it fast?"
Like I'll give them a straight answer on that...
Duckster, You can get a product called a "Super Visor" which will mount to the shield of any full face helmet. Works just like the visor on a motorcross helmet. Great for riding into the sun. You'll...
Finally got a chance to ride my Spyder. Went to my office and was inside adding padding to my helmet (trying to lessen wind noise) and heard the front door open. As it's Sunday, I shouldn't be having...
Hey Marcel, looks good. Can't tell if there's a flip at the top. Seems that the flip is rather important, or else just the height. Do you change the angle so that it raises more straight up? Any...
I've seen the swing arm mounted hitch, looks good and attaches easy. But since you've had experience with towing, and it sounds like you'd stay away from swing arm mounts, there must be a reason. And...
It's been a few weeks since you obtained your Laminar Lips... so, after a few rides, are you still happy with it? Do you get wind blast and wind noise in the helmet?
I just put on the touring...
Thanks for the close up of the fog lights. It would be hard to miss something with that many lights comming towards you, so those should help. I couldn't tell if those block a functional air duct to...
Yup, that's it. Looking at the rear tire again... I think that fender with the dealers billboard decal (that wasn't supposed to be applied!) could easily be sacrificed. With the brake light relocated...
Thanks for fast reply. I only had 0.5 mile ride from dealship to home on cold day. I keep a dark motocross visor on my helmet for riding into the sun but even in that short ride, I realized the wind...
The windshield is a delema for me. I purchased a tour model but haven't taken it out of the packaging yet. Let us know how the lip works on the touring model. I'm not far from Windsor so getting one...
I was looking at a bare front fender today, seems the channel in the middle would be for strength and the plastic diverter at the bottom to channel water away during wet conditions, especially with...
K&W Cycle in Shelby Twp. They're at Auburn and Ryan, basicaly about a mile north of M-59 and Mound. The owner had imput for design too, but I wasn't aware of that at the demo rides.

Just picked up 2204 Wednesday, can't ride yet and it's still snowing. Dealer had no clue about any financing or insurance... different than during the sales pitch. They did give a insurance company...
Surprized that there is no factory program for financing. When I ordered mine (not in yet) I was told by the dealer (yeah, right, I believed a dealer) that there would be some program to help with...
I remember that to be about the right amount for set up. I was surprized to have a ship charge, set-up, etc. I have no problem with shipping, but had assumed that when you take possession, it's...
Ordered Aug '7, told Oct or March, no word yet. From K&W Cycle, Shelby Twp MI. Fortunately, live like less than a mile from there, so drive by a few times a day normally. I was amazed at the lack of...
The new brackets will be one piece and will have the option of a cheaper non folding peg. Hope to have that in the next week or two
I don't think the little savings for non-folding peg would be...
As far as being stuck in traffic, or doing a parade or slow stuff, I would wait and get the auto if that is a concern for you.
I've never owned a bike that I didn't wish I had a taller gear. As a...
Been on many test rides, mine hasn't arrived yet. One of first things noticed was lack of highway pegs. You must have hand brakes if you are going to have your foot away from the single brake pedel....
