    Keeping up to date

    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.

    Re: Top Questions

    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?"

    Re: The touring windshield is useless

    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...

    Re: Trailer Hitch - Any news Lamonster?

    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...

    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...
