2014 - ST SM5 = $14K, ST S SE5 = $17K, Both new
I found a small lot of BLACK BRP backrests for the Comfort seat at $350 each - new. That's still over my threshold of pain, so if interested, look to Fleabay.
:welcome: It will take you 200 to 300 miles to adjust to the Spyder. Plan on doing a single long trip to do this, and stay OFF the major highways - use the winding back roads. One of the initial...
Me too - 3 MG -TDs, 4 Austin Healey 3000s, two MGBs, and one MG C (the straight 6 version).
In fairness, the ISCI handbrake does exactly the same job as the foot brake on the Spyder, because it...
There's a new vendor with bar end locks - look @ the Home Page.
Since I only use a 1/2 helmet, mine goes in one of the saddlebags.
Now run non-ETOH gas for a couple of tanks, and the milage will impress....
I have both Ron's sway bar AND Doc's stiffeners. The stiffeners are a snap to install, and do the job.
Ron's bar helps flatten corners, and eliminate 18 wheeler wobbles, and the stiffeners keep...
Yes - and it came from "noboot" in Australia. It was $120, but worth every dime. There's also installation instructions in the DYI section, and reading that is CRITICAL. If you do it wrong, your...
Look at the ST "LTD" for her - storage, has a trailer hitch, and most of the nice amenities, at a lower price point.
My dealer does, and has this orange kludge that allows one to quickly test the various positions available.
Honda has the Goldwing and Valk (albeit very similar bikes) targeted for different...
In one word - Don't.
The 2013 was the conversion year, with a host of issues. Look at any of the 2010/2011/2012s - especially the 2012s, if you are looking at the older 990 generation RT.
All...
CJ - stock seat or comfort seat?
Is the BRP backrest worth $300 for the Comfort Seat? If you have one, would you buy it again?
Thanx!
I'm going to bump this back up, for any that might have missed it before.
Call it whatever you want. It works for me. I do think he hit the nail on the head though - not many family folks can afford a $20K road toy. Those that can, are probably more likely to purchase a...
I've installed the ISCI handbrake on my RS SM5, and on a friend's RT SM5. I have ridden Spyder's with both the SE and SM systems. The ISCI system wasn't/isn't the only system out there, but it IS...
Harbor Freight has one: http://www.harborfreight.com/14-pocket-tool-roll-93828.html, as does Sears (which is a bit better) http://www.sears.com/search=tool%20roll
Never knock Harley's marketing efforts, that's what really keeps the motorcompany alive.
The only real use for the catalog is as an index to Ebay sales.
No heat issues with the 2014 - no gas smell - evap canister has been moved
I think this is the same guy who strapped my son's ex ATV to the roof of his van....
Go to one of the Spyder gatherings & let Ann do it. They are the best.
Yep - sticking with stock, until Yosh gets off the dime. Current choices are either too loud or too costly. $900 for a slip on muffler... Really??
Tailgunner=TBR=Too Loud for me. The Yosh is the perfect cost/sound/performance choice. I loved it on my 990, and will wait for the 1330 version - which they say they don't have nor are working on....
The vented F4 is much wider than the BRP version. I dumped my vented BRP for the F4, and am very happy with the change. I have no idea why BRP narrowed the vented touring windshield, but they did.
Actually, as with my cages - the BEST milage is on the freeway, with cruise engaged. We can't help but modulate the fuel over bumps and irregularities w/o cruise.
John - I couldn't agree more.
I vote yes.
Most of the left over '14s are LTDs, and are still priced over $25K. Looking on Fleabay & CycleTrader, There seems to be a dealer in Central Florida with a few Base units left over.
Conversely, a...
Sorry, it's a target I'll never hit - have no interest in being East of the Rockies and outside a cage.... Hanalei, Kauai was bad enough... Just me.
