Here's what a set of givi bag mounts look like for the RS/GS. Note the one mount has a triangular piece missing (piece shown in first pic). They're pretty much PLX Givi mounts with a couple...

If you're looking for Givi saddlebag mounts to fit the RS and GS models, here are the instructions for installation. The mounts are for PLX Givi type bags. Look at the number 3 part...
Here's what I did. I purchased the bottom half of an air box from ebay. (See picture) You can find these reasonably priced. Cut out the part with the tubes that mounts over the throttle bodies. I...
Do a search using the following words: K&N Style ( R-0990 ) AF0990
Does it look like this? If so these are available on ebay.

Krakum, how did the rivco floorboards work with your brake and gearshift? Pictures I've seen, show the pedals about midpoint on the board, which I think, would make it awkward to brake and shift.
Nokesy, those look a lot like the Rivco floorboards. Interesting that you had to modify them. I was considering the Rivco system, but they are pricey. Are they sturdy? Can you stand on them? Hate...
bmccaffrey, just looked on their site and saw your floorboards. Very interesting, definitely idea inspiring. One question. In your design is the forward mount of the floorboard a clip over the OEM...
Been thinking about adding floorboards to my 2014 Spyder RS with SM5 transmission. Has anyone added floorboards to their RS and what did you think of them afterward? Improvement or not? What brand...
Haikanko, can you share what the correct toe in is? From my calculations based on what was said in another post, the toe in should be approximately 48-50 minutes, less than 1 degree.
Here is the definition of a delta angle - It is the measurement in degrees where two straight lines, also known as tangents, intersect. If you don't mind cptjam, can you explain this some more? I can...
This is what I found when I googled Thrust Angle:
On a solid rear axle vehicle, a thrust angle alignment allows the technician to confirm that all four wheels are "square" with each other. Thrust...
What do you guys/gals think of this laser alignment tool? It only checks toe alignment, but isn't that all you need with the spyder? My thought is as long as your drive belt is properly set the back...
My 2014 RS, SM5 currently does not have heated grips. I've been considering installing OEM heated grips, but first would like to know if my 2014 wiring harness has the blank (open) plugs already...
I've noticed a lot of nice early model Spyder GS, RS and ST's with Givi saddlebags mounted on them. Were there at one time aftermarket mounts for the Spyder to add Givi bags? And if so, where would...
Thanks for your help Blueknight911, got in contact with him, great help. Appreciate it.
I would like to either program in a second key (only have 1 now) or turn the DESS off. My understanding is the key programming on my 2014 RS is a bit more complicated then what it was for previous...
My reason for asking is I thought there might times when sponsors/dealers have annual or special event sales and it would pay to wait.
Probably will buy the sway bar for my 2014 RS based on all the positive comments made here. But before I do, I would like to know if this item ever goes on sale? Also, for those that have them and...
here's an example of an idler pulley I'm looking at. Less than $10, can't beat the price, just not sure of the width yet.
I bought the SE15. I was looking at some of the automotive idler pulleys, thought they might be a good fit because they're made for long-term high revolution use. The prices are very reasonable too....
Freddy, the brackets you fabricated to clamp around the frame appear to be very thick. Did you determine the thickness was necessary, or was it a matter of what was available at the time? I just...
Just after I made the statement that spyders are rarely seen in my area, I see two more near Somerset, PA. I guess I better start paying closer attention.
Freddy and Warlock, both of you have very interesting designs.
Freddy, do you have an idea of approximate cost for your design? I like the straight forwardness of it and that it doesn't require...
Thanks for the replies, I'll check them out.
Al, I just checked them out, the price is an eye opener!!
Does anyone have a belt tensioner installed on an RS model? I'm researching the idea of installing a tensioner on my 2014 RS and I haven't found much. Would like to hear about or see some ideas from...
Is the belt tensioner only designed for the RT? If so, does that mean an RS doesn't 't need or won't see any improvement from a belt tensioner?
Spyders are a rare breed around my area, but the other day the wife and I were at the Walmart, in Morgantown, WV where I spotted a maroon RT parked outside. That spotting is not only the first of the...
Spacertiger, thanks for the directions, worked great and was able to see the pictures. I like how the finished top box looks on the back of your spyder, just got to decide if I want to cut a hole in...
Looks good, I'm going to give it a try. About clearing the seat, wouldn't it have made more sense if can am had hinged the seat on the right side instead of at the back? A side hinge would let it...
