    Oh crumbs! This is the exact Spyder we've been looking for and at an AWESOME price. Unfortunately the distance is just not within our reach. Boohoo! I'm sure you will sell it quickly. Beautiful...

    The one we did the test ride on would have been either a 2020 or 2021. I must admit, since it was the first time on a Spyder of any sort, it could have very well had the "comfort seat". I just know...
  3. RT Seat size change, what year did it happen?

    Just wondered if anyone knows what year the Spyder RT Limited changed the passenger seat length? We did a test ride on a newer model before we bought our first RTL. When we tried out the older...

    We carry a fold-up reflective safety triangle just in case of a stop along the road. Also, a strong beam flashlight that can be set to strobe if needed or can be set up to light a specific area if...

    If you want something to be under you, while riding, then I'm not sure unless you have something custom-made which wouldn't be slippery. Otherwise, I too carry a big lawn and leaf bag. It covers just...

    We cut some seat-sized pieces of memory foam (later switched out the memory foam for some Egg Sitter gel cushions) and put them under a couple of sheepskins from IKEA. Cool and comfy for long rides!...

    For the trunk problem, Pierre at canamspyderaccessories.com has a $35 piece that you can add onto the hinge area to hold it up. Pops into place when you lift it up and then you just pop it out when...

    How about covering the seat with aluminum foil when you are storing it? Cats get freaked out when they jump up and land on it. Another idea is to cover the seat with a really large garbage can bag....

    After you go into "My Profile" you need to go into "About Me". Your signature is a bit down the page.

    We ride a 2011 RTL as well. Love it! We rented a 2018/1330cc when on a trip this past spring and truthfully, we didn't notice anything that much more "special" about it, at least as far as the ride...

    Insulation probably isn't as important as getting electricity to it. With Midwest winter temps, you definitely want a battery tender on it!
  12. Winterizing questions - how to prepare Spyder for cold storage?

    Sorry if this has been posted in the past, but my search didn't really show anything that was specific to this situation. Here in the snowy north, we generally store our bikes for about 5 months...

    Ours controls the radio station choices (side to side) and volume (up and down) on the bike only. We do like to listen to the radio on our Cardo Packtalk units when doing highway speeds, but that's...

    I took a good look at our 2011 last fall after seeing a post warning about this potential on the older models. Sure enough....our "dog bone part" was beginning to crack. I ordered one from Pierre...

    We have a 2011 that had pegs but we wanted floorboards too. There were nice looking 6 1/4" long ones from Lamonster ........

    Thanks for the advice about the oil. It's the first time we've taken a trip of that length. Can you tell we're still newbies at this Spyder stuff???!!! :dontknow: :roflblack:

    Good thought. We checked all the fluid levels before the trip but not since getting back. Thanks.
  18. Shift problem after bike sits o/night but fm then OK - Any ideas?

    Just got home from a 1000+ mile trip on our 2011 RT Limited with absolutely no problems. It's now got a BIG 33,000 miles on it. Gave it a good wash and then let it sit for a few days. When I went for...

    Having our usual schizophrenic spring weather.... Windy, 37 degrees in Southeast SD but 60s on Thursday and 72 expected on Friday, Woohoo!!! Finally going to "break Spydee out" of winter storage....

    I agree with ARtraveler. Buying from an individual who isn't even present could really be a "red flag". After considering a FSBO bike ourselves, we bought a 27,000 mile, RT Limited, 2011 last year...

    You may be able to get a few names from a JoAnn's Fabric and Craft store, of people who do sewing in your area. If there are any "crafty" folks, they should be able to figure out a pattern and be...

    What are the suggested accommodations during the rally? (not camping) It will be our first time next year and we are excited to start planning.

    We had pretty uncomfortable seats on our previous Hondas so made some sheepskin covers and put 1"-2" memory foam padding underneath. Felt MUCH better! Sold the Hondas and ride the Spyder together so...

    We've got sheepskin on ours too. I also added a 1" thick piece of memory foam under the sheepskin, making it even more comfy.

    I used to have that problem with a former scooter that came with a tall windshield. I'm only 5'1" and always felt like I just didn't have the good visibility when looking through it while it was...

    I'm blessed to have a hubby who is just as comfortable in the passenger seat as in the driver's seat. We both had Honda Forza maxi scooters and now decided it was time for a Spyder RT. Love being...

    We are new to the world of Spyders, just having bought a sweet 2011 RTL a couple of weeks ago. Woohoo!!! I never seemed able to get the parking brake engaged or disengaged but my hubs could do it...
