    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 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.

    Can you identify these RT foot-plates?

    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...

    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...

    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!
