Thanks for the advice, I will think about that! You make a good point about the cost of whatever I do to try to fix it. Maybe I should just cut my losses since it kind of sucked anyway.

I must have got too close to that truck that sprays the white lines on the road and as I passed him, it oversprayed my nose cone and my windshield. I tried a bunch of things to get it off but GoofOff...
So is this one of the NEW redesigned BRP backrests or is it one of the defective, recalled models? I have had mine on order since last Fall and they keep telling me they haven't shipped yet. I am...
I was browsing through Killboy.com's main page a few days ago and saw a Spyder with a Goldwing backrest and luggage box combo! For the rider it looked nice and comfy with the padded easy-chair...
I noticed after installing mine that it now needs about 2-3 minutes to really warm up before riding it or it will ride rough. Even after that it really doesn't seem to like the cold (<50 degree f)...
I had my dealer install my Hindle exhaust when my Spyder was in for it's 600 mile service day before yesterday and was pleasantly surprised when I picked it up last night! The exhaust sounds awesome!...
I just got a call from my dealer this afternoon that my Hindle was in. I went by after work and picked it up. Looks like the shop manual estimates the installation time at 0.2 hours (12 minutes). I...
I just checked and didn't see the link for any sound clips. Do you have a link for that?
I heard the Hindle in person last weekend and it sounded very impressive! It's not too loud and has some...
I have a clunk when I go from Neutral to First. I have tried holding the clutch in for up to 10 seconds to see if anything spins down and lessens the noise but it makes no difference. I think the...
Looks great!!!! :congrats:
I wasn't sure what to put in it so I broke out the manual and noticed it requires a minimum of 87 octane, so I have been using Regular gas - just filled up my second tank. I would think you would...
I just completed my 3rd ride on mine and am just over 100 miles now and also notice a smell but it's probably just some paint burning off or something like that I was thinking. As for the sound, I...
Turns out I mis-understood the dealers price as it was $115.00, not $150. They also charged me $30 shipping so the total price was $145.00. This is unacceptable and those of us that did not have this...
That looks great!!!! Thanks for the updated photos!
How long did it take for the install start-to-finish?

My special harness showed up today but when I showed up at the dealer to pick it up 1 hour before closing tonight, they were still finalizing some issues with my Scorpio alarm system and some body...
Looks great!!!! Would love to see a picture or two without the flash. I am thinking of adding LEDs to my Silver Spyder but am torn between Red and Blue - am thinking about getting a multi-color...
Our local Northern Virginia Can-Am Spyder Dealer, Coleman Powersports, is having their yearly Block Party on April 26, 2008 in Woodbridge, VA.

My Spyder (1943) finally showed up last Friday (2/29/08) and when they went to install my accessories including HID lights and Fog Lights on Saturday they realized that they needed a special harness...
Lamont,
Having a temperature guage that is that far off is totally useless. The guage on my wife's Prius is dead-on based on my observations and it's extremely vital that I know that the...
Has anyone sized the crush washers or is the drain plug a standard size? Also, is it one drain plug or two like on the M109R?
Do you all have the stock headlights or the HIDs?
Lamont,
I was up at my local dealer Saturday ordering my accessories (pretty much just went down the list and checked everything off) and they took me in the back to see one of the Spyders that...
Lamont,
Glad you made it home safe! I can't wait to get mine as well. I spent about 2 hours this morning at my local dealer pre-ordering all of my accessories ($3884.00) for the bike as I am...
Can you explain more about the 17 being delivered to a dealer in South Fl? Was it a single dealer? Which dealer?
Just out of curiosity, I noticed Jay Leno's VIN ended in 0001. Just wondering what your last 4 of your VIN is?

Lamont,
My dealer did confirm that he is expecting a delivery of 4 units tomorrow (10/10/07). As for after that, he wasn't sure when or how many others he would be getting. I will just hope for the...
Lamont,
I think the biggest "obstacle" for my wife is that our State, Virginia, considers the Spyder a Motorcycle and she will need her "M" designation on her license to legally ride it. I talked...
DJ,
I went in last night to talk to "BIG" and he said he is expecting (didn't sound too confident) his first delivery in within the next two weeks. He is expecting it will be 4 bikes per shipment...
Lamont,
Your exhaust is probably the best I have heard to date. It's got a deep, throaty blitty-blatty and it's not obnoxiously loud like some I have heard. I would definitely be interested in...
Lamont,
One thing that blew me away - that I had heard others say but didn't hit me until I rode it myself was that this thing handles more like an ATV then an MC. Driving the Spyder is an aerobic...
