The pic of the white spyder is from the vendor, the other two are mine. They don't bolt to where the normal footpegs are.

The pic of the white spyder is from the vendor, the other two are mine. They don't bolt to where the normal footpegs are.
Regrettably the seller isn't much help. They are a salvage and removed them from the bike and apparently did not keep all the pieces together. Sigh. I'm afraid I will have to fab up some scrap...
Oh, I know you are, and I really appreciate it a lot. I am open to any ideas on these. That picture was sent to me by the seller, it isn't mine. I put them up to my RT before I installed my...
I always assume all other vehicles are piloted by this guy.

Seen on a bumper sticker in Ruidoso New Mexico: "If God had wanted Texans to ski he'd have given them a mountain" LOL
I don't think so. I am pretty sure there should be a bracket that is rather similar to Pierre's boards.
I saw those and they ARE similar. I am pretty sure some bracketry is missing from what I have. I may have to homebrew that. Still trying to figure out who made them.
Definitely not home made. Nice exact cuts, chamfered holes, rubber pads and polished aluminum rounded trim on the edges. I know there had to be a bracket that went inside of the air deflector as the...
65 is a rather good road as well. I take that from Conway up to Nixa when I go. My late brother lived in Nixa.
Rode in all sorts of weather when I was younger. Once behind a semi from Santa Fe over Raton Pass in a snowstorm. Foolish in hindsight but I got there. No heated gear. Bread bags over my military...
I foolishly bought these off ePay. They were mounted around the vents on a 2011 Spyder RT. I did not get any brackets or screws with them so I am at a complete loss as to how they mount. Can anyone...
Dunno about that, Pearson Rd about where the FuelMan location is, would be ideal. I don't see it happening in Hinds County as they probably could not get their act together on land and taxes.

Thanks Peter! I will give it another go in the morning when it's cold outside (low 40's). Hopefully another round will yield a good result. I am almost done rehabbing/modding this RT (low miles but a...
I agree, it's too hard to tell how much is in there. I had to stick an led flashlight down behind it when I checked it. It was on the full line but like I said I burped it anyway. I wish it had...
Well as a follow up I burped it again for about an hour. It never boiled over with the cap off but a lot of bubbles came up (not small, about 1/4 with a few bigger) while I had it up on ramps. I seem...
Been to two of them. One in Texas City Texas the other in Florida. Food was good and consistent between the two. The Texas one had Non Ethanol fuel at a good price, unsure of Florida because I didnt...
In Jackson, MS (where I used to live) a woman drunk with multiple DUI's just had a hung jury because they could not reach a consensus on what an "aggravated" DUI is. This lady tried to escape from...
Peter, I flushed it a good half hour with the garden hose after a 20 minute wait after a ride shutdown. I used Genuine Honda 50/50 coolant that I use in my GoldWings.
Great advise so far. Bike has Genuine Honda M/C 50/50 in it now. I will retry the burping again in the morning. The front door is currently on ramps as I just finished RLS cat delete, web board...
2012 998 RT-S . Guys, I flushed my coolant just to ensure it had been done. I burped it with the cap off for quite some time and topped it off as needed. I put about 50 miles on it since. Anyway the...
Web boards modded; RLS Cat delete done
Cut down the Web floorboards to work with the SM5. Adjusted the shifter and clearanced it so that it will upshift, even though it's up one notch on the shift...
May your thanks be giving
You remain with us living
Your clutches not grabby
Your spouse not be crabby
Your throttles not sticky
Your engine oil not icky
Your chains not rusty
Your paint job...
Wanted to thank you for posting this. I just did the plugs, wires, canisterectomy, fuel lines, crankcase vent hose, and epic battle with the air box. Air filter in the bike was mfg in 2011 so was...
Nicely done documentary. I enjoyed it. Also very sad. My late wife was 1/4 Cherokee.
You have been doing amazing work. I will enjoy pictures of you bike when complete. Hope you are well!
Very nice write up. I know this is a year old but did you do the vent mod to the bike as well? Was it really needed? The reason I ask is my new to me 2012 RT I just got rather roasted my chestnuts as...
Nice video! it's been 30 years or more since I've been on that road in El Paso. I bet that camera would take some righteous footage going up the road from Alamogordo to Cloudcroft! Best to you!
Ouch! Seems like your bike is a goner. Be sure to list every single farkle at the installed price to the ins. Co. Also, and I hate to say this, maybe contact a lawyer. You may end up with a Miata and...
