    Ordered the one from Amazon. ~$6 is not a bad price even if it's wrong. I suspect the cord from my old Nuvi GPS will work if all else fails. Thanks, guys and gals.

    Thanks all for your feedback. Sounds like there's not much difference between the two engines in terms of shift rpm ranges. Would think the 1330 engine would operate at a little lower rpm's and we'll...

    I am anxious now to run to the storage unit where I keep the Spyder and visually inspect the shifter linkage. If a simple new nut on a longer bolt is an answer, woo-hoo. If on the other hand, the...

    Works for Me

    Buy the medium...unless your butt is waaaayyy big. Sure beats spending close to $1000 for a new seat. For us older guys with no padding left, the Airhawk is the easiest solution.
