Hey BajaRon,
Tell me about installing the slip on muffler. I was thinking about buying a HMF for my 2008 GS SM5. Reading the directions online it sounds pretty simple. Is it as simple as they make...
Yeah, I did notice that the posts were from about four years back, but what the heck you responded! Ha. I appreciate the heads up mate. I'll put an original post out to see if I can get a response....
Chris, it looks pretty easy to install. Is it?
Thanks. The stock muffler braket bolt fell out on my 2008 today as I pulled into the driveway. After 22K maybe it is time for a new sound.

Hey look! I can see the little triangle at the top of the fuel gage-that I never saw until I did my canisterectomy. Another added bonus! Thanks Ron and Jerry for all the help!
Pilo,
There was a gas cap recall in 2010 for caps that would not seal properly. My dealer here in the USA had mine replaced at no cost. I ride an 08 Spyder. Here is a link ...
Well after swapping the relays-with no change-I got a new battery. BINGO! We are back on the road. I appreciate the comments and shared knowledge here on the forum. You guys are my first resource...
2008 GS. Owned for a little over a year. 19100 miles. Rode yesterday for 45 minutes of freeway driving. Rode this morning for 35 mins freeway driving. On my way back later this morning (20 minutes of...

I've found I feel more confident really standing on the Seal Floorboard because my entire foot is planted...where ever it happens to be forward or back.

Just finished installing the WrapMySpyder carbon fiber dash kit on my 2008 GS. It looks great! The directions and install was easy. Online videos and free friendly phone support too. It totally...
Thanks AeroP! I am waiting for the local Spyder mechanic to call me back and give me his thoughts too. I appreciate the suggestions. Trying to find that balance between tire wear and good handling -...
OK, be kind to the new guy here. I've owned my 2008 GS for almost a year. Time to replace the tires. I've read a lot of these tire posts-yes head is spinning. It seems clear to my uneducated mind...

2008 Can Am Spyder GS flasher wire location
Pop out the instrument panel using a small screwdriver and the two holes above the dash. Be sure the screwdriver goes into the small slots on top of the...
Found the front flasher wires! OK, 2008 GS. If you are looking for the front flasher wires they are behind the display panel. Pop off the display panel. If you have a tall windscreen you will need to...
Yes Jerry it is under the instrument panel. As I mentioned earlier the wire I'm thinking about using matches a wire leading to the blinker. There are a pair of plugs, on each side, under the dash...
Jerry,
I'll let you know. The day runners work fine. The guy at custom Dynamics said I could just tap into the left and right flasher wires if I wanted to. The wiring harness they supplied...
Installing dual color LED set. White running light/amber blinker combo for lower front arms. I need to tap into the left and right blinker lines. Is the wire to the front flashers the gray...
Yes, I ordered direct from Admore Lighting. admorelighting.com
The Spyder kit was only $149.00 US plus shipping. They also make some harnesses for specific bikes but the Spyder uses their standard...
Matahead,
Yes the LED kit comes with a built in controller/microprocessor built into the wiring harness. (It's all shrink wrapped and well protected from the elements.) You just tap into the correct...

I had the great pleasure to meet Seal Floorboard inventor/designer, John Anderson over the weekend. Not only does he make a good floorboard, he had his shop guy Mike install them...
Matahead,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner-I didn't see your question. Here a a couple of pics of the inside of the bags.

New Spyder owner, (2008 GS), and ordered the Admore Lighting LED kit. These are great! When you switch on the Spyder these light up along with the tail lights. They flash when...
So I am a brand new Spyder owner. I've ridden less than 100 miles on my used 2008 GS SM5. I've done the drills and read the manual. Starting off slow as I learn this new way to ride. I've done some...
