I have it and it does a reasonable job
I took the Mogollon Rim road into Show Low 30yrs ago. It was gravel and I was in a car.
I have the Comfort seat on my '08GS and it has the # 708001006. Purchased from an oem dealer.
I have one on top of my oem touring screen.
Very adjustable and works well for me. Cheap from amazon or ebay.
I love mine on my '08GS
BC & Quebec are the two most major provinces where the electricity is produced by water power and is cheap. My daughter just bought a VW ID.4 EV and got a total of $12,000 government rebates.

Unless I fit snow tires on my Spyder I am legally not allowed on the roads of Quebec from Dec 1st to Mar 15th. Same rules as for autos.
For me, dry, warm (70F+) and daylight.
As a result of my reply #10, I went out and viewed a 2011 Miata with an electrically folding steel roof. I liked it very much. I t was lower than I had hoped though.
Went to the salesman's officeto...
In the same boat myself. My '08GS has sat with all it bugs on for the past 6 weeks. I can only manage a 3hr ride these days before becoming very tired (I'm 84 with med problems). I took an...
Your tool kit contains feeler gauges to measure the distance between the speed sensor and the ring gear. I guess you add/remove shims so the appropriate feeler just fits. I have never found the need...
I read it and enjoyed it having covered all those VT roads myself.
I seem to remember turning my engine from the stator side by removing the plug with a hex key then putting the correct sized wrench in and turning CCW
I have recently installed the Altimax 215/60 R15 on my 2008 GS.
It fits just fine with the added bonus that my speedo now reads the same as my Garmin Zumo GPS.
Thank you for that.
I think it has to be paired with an Apple phone. It won't work with you have an Android phone.
Thought I read that somewhere.
At almost 84, I still do all the work on my '08 Spyder. I do it in my heated/AC garage so excessive heat is not a problem. I do not actually remove the tire from the rim but do remove the rear wheel....
Are you sure those bolts had a 12mm diameter threaded portion or you had to use a 12mm wrench on the bolt heads.
A 12mm bolt is a rather large bolt
It has been your lucky day !
He's home now and has to work hard to get strength in the fingers of his right hand.....new video today.
I used BLUEKNIGHT!!'s method (I think) on my 2008 GS as the Utopia backrest was too heavy for the strut.
When I lift the seat now a length of 1/4" rod falls down, It has a rubber foot on it.

I'm a loner and love it.
The only time I went with a group was when I had a V-Max back in 2003. A group had come up from the US to Montreal and as I new the leader I went along. At the first rest...

Luckily for me I live at the western end of the island of Montreal. All my riding is done in Ontario except for Autoroutes 40, 30 & 20 in order to get into ON
I have an '08 GS SM5.It is fitted with auxiliary spotlights (led) and 2 small extra fans in the engine space to pull out hot air and blow it out under the bike. Many years ago I had been in a lineup...
Tis was one of the comments on the weird contraption
I think this item may have a purpose, but it certainly didn't work for what I needed....
We have a friend of ours that drives a Jeep...
if you have them, that's where they are.
On my 2008GS they are metric 6mm grease nipples.
For the rear 4 I have 90 degree ones and for the front 4 I have 45 degree ones.
I had to invest in a decent, gripping grease gun end fitting to lock...
Another tidbit from Quebec where statistics are kept.
Plate renewal for super sports motorcycles (and they have an official list of them), around $1500CAD per annum
For a Spyder $180CAD per annum.
