Rode a good bit today. One thing I noticed I would do different (and easy to fix). The switch is lined up so the logo is parallel to the edge of the grille. But the grille is slanted. So that makes...
It is from Fry's -- I forget the maker. It is a Bluetooth to FM transmitter and dual USB charger. About $20. I had a different one (posted on it) that looked nicer, but it didn't play well with my...
When I first got the bike (2013) I bought an extra speaker grille from Cheap parts -- it was just a few bucks. Then I took the original out and drilled it for a 12 socket. I wasn't sure where to pick...
On the plus side, while looking for it I found some CDs with Dr. Demento shows recorded on them!
I have it on CD somewhere around here ;-)
That's what I'm trying to do is get to the back of the switch without tearing the glove box down.
(forgot to quote):
Any tips on how to do it? I took a thin tool and tried to pry up but it didn't look like it was going to do it. There looks like there is a gasket under it. And I'm preety...

$50 for the cylinder! I might try this first:...
Yeah I've had her apart a few times -- I've installed 12V connectors in the cockpit and some mounts so I pretty comfortable yanking the tupperware and all that. I'm just lazy lol. I'll be better when...
Yes I've been using the key but I'm trying to get the old girl back to 100% shape. I was thinking about shooting the switch with contact cleaner but I don't know it comes apart. The switch is about...
I just went and had a look. The microswitch is definitely working because the interior light comes on and off correctly. The switch works if you bang it enough times but mostly does not. How does...
I think since the manual release works and it eventually works with enough button pushes that this is ok but maybe. I am guessing either the microswitch or the dash switch is intermittent. I've...
Thanks Mike.
I think I did the spring mod on the frunk. Or at least I attempted it but that's been a long time ago. This appears to be something with the electric mechanism. The key release works...
For some reason the electric frunk release doesn't work reliably anymore. I jam the button down a few times it might eventually work, so I know there is power getting to it, etc. It isn't just dead,...
I have a cheap eBay iPod in the back and I've tried many things to get decent Bluetooth without taking up the iPod port. I think I found it. The only problem is, it depends on a previous mod I did....
Well some say I got divorced only so I could finally use the joke: I didn't think my wife was much of a housekeeper until we got divorced and she kept my house.
I can't find any trace of the side...
I will look again, but I replaced the seal with one from Pops and I don't think that's what is keeping the Velcro from showing up. It looks like the cowlings over the headlights might need to come...
I'm trying to put in the frunk liner. It has velcro tabs but clearly I have to take somthing apart to get to some of them. I can probably figure it out, but I was surprised no one seems to have...
No the iPod is great. I bought one on eBay with a bad headphone connector and it works fine since I don't use it with headphones, just the Spyder. Velcro and a rubber band to keep the connector from...
Given the price I assume you don't get forward reverse play pause on the handlebars right? And sure you can control that via the phone
My 2013 has the iPod integration and--to date-- I've used an iPod (bought off eBay with a bad connector for nearly nothing) and I have an FM transmitter connected to a BT receiver. It kind of works,...
They changed this late last year. If you take a trike class you get a trike restriction on your license (assuming you don't already have the M).
On mine (factory installed) the microswitch on the front does not always engage. I keep thinking I need to 3D print a little cap for the striker on the frunk cover to ensure it engages.
This is what I did and after 2 years very pleased with it: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?59322-power-for-accessories&p=712490&viewfull=1#post712490
I also did the X mount on...
I don't know if all the Spyders have the same battery, but if I recall this one is not for AGM batteries and that's what my 2013 has. The problem is, if the charger attempts to overcharge an AGM...
I agree Mancuso will help you, especially if you already have your M license. If you don't, they may be reluctant. However, they do the motorcycle training on 3 wheelers about once a month and they...
Not quite step by step, but here's my description and pictures of putting a 12V socket in the grille. I just have a 12V to dual USB I put in when I want it and keep it in the glove box if it is going...
The 2013 RT it is an AGM.

I had the same experience. Thought it was fine until it was aligned and then I was amazed.

I think the replacement is here http://m.napaonline.com/Tablet/parts/PartDetails.aspx?Id=BK_6653399_0006391335
For what it is worth.
Oh here's another post with another source...
