Thanks to everyone for comments and help along the way with my Spyder. This is a great site and congratulations to Lamonster for putting it together and giving outstanding support to everyone who...
Hi All
Last post from me to you spyderlovers. Gone back to my safe 2 wheels and a local dealer. Hope all enjoy the spyderfest that is coming up and enjoy your spring and summer ahead.
As we say...
Well !! The best trick of all to this mpg problem is to stay living where you are. Over the other side of the pond our petrol is currently 1.40 per liter. When you do the maths on that and convert it...
Best wishes and a speedy recovery from all the spyders and bikers in this part of the world. Hope its a successful operation and that you may be years more on the road.
Worse still, They will wait for me to pass buy and sell it to me and let me ship it to Ireland where there is no dealer.
Seriously though,, good luck with your new purchase and may you have many...
I was talking to the very nice guy from the company. It seems that the 7/8 of an inch will not fit,, according to my measurements.
He did tell me that he would sell just one of I wanted to buy it...
Just finished the same job. Two bikes with the same problem.
We took off the supports and stripped the rest. Took the supports to a panelbeater who put a weld on the inside and repainted. Just...
Thanks Lamonster
Great thread with loads of info. Guess I will go and find someone eletrical for this one.
Wonder if you know any way to change the USA lights to European. This is my...
Hi Guys
Does anyone out there kknow if the spyder is pre-wired for fog lights. If not, can I buy a set and plug it into an empty fuse socket, plug in a fuse and ready to go ?
What, if any, are...
New thread to give a lead on a problem we have had in Ireland and others have had previously.
At the join between the mudguard and its side support, after some time, or perhaps rough road...
The best result I have had is running the standard sports shield. Wearing the right gear in most conditions should take care of most situations and you still feel like you are driving a motorbike. I...
Hi All
Would like to know if there is any rs bike out there that parts are being sold off of. I need a lower belt guard, one hundred pounds out of the UK which must be about 120 Euro plus shipping....
I hear you with the weather situation.
Always welcome in Ireland if you get on a ferry next year and head over our direction.
Backrest essential if you want to carry a passenger. It has made life so much easier and I would definately reccomend buying one, whatever type you go for. The passenger is much more secure and not...
Thanks for all the effort in your investigations.
It looks like this is a very suitable alternative for the future, with over half of the year on wet roads and now these new artic conditions which...
That's one happy new spyder owner for sure. :congrats: Forget about the school parking lot. First drive I would suggest a nice long road, early in the morning with no traffic and floor that red...
Thanks Spyryder for input.
I telephoned the guys at snobootz and while searching online I found another product made by them called GO CLAWS. Both products looked good.
I was talking to Tony...
Those Snoboots look exactly what might be needed. Of course all the damn snow is gone now, but a long winter yet ahead.
Will do a search online and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to hear about that waste Seth.
Would actually be okay, but because we do not generally get much snow... snow ploughs do not exist, so all we have are the council putting salt on the major...
Firstly, I am surprised that nobody mentioned earplugs first before putting on a helmet. Get snug and comfortable fitting ones. They make biking so pleasurable on long distances. Seems to add a few...
Will await the results of this new tyre with anticipation. Maybe if it is much better than a standart tyre, use it all year round and get a new fitted at the end of October each year, if they last...
I have three pairs of gloves and all different.
First pair is Teknic and are really a spring or autumn glove and maybe for a cooler summer. No good in the rain.
Second pair are a Spyder pair, yes,...
Lots of snow here last week, that has cleared up and led to a bigger problem, black ice in the mornings. Thawing through the day and roads freezing from 5pm onwards.
In the paper today, THE SNOW...
Great news and great ideas all round.
The last time I got a tyre changed I had to drive 150 miles to find someone able to do the job, so that idea is out considering the snow and ice problem.
The...
Anyone out there been doing any driving on snow and ice ? and if so, is there anything I can get to improve the grip on the back tyre. I am reluctant to do anything with chains as this would only...
Been doing a lot of testing over the past few weeks and the best solution I have come up with is to put on some good comfortable gear and a cheap waterproof layer on top. The more expensive gear does...
I have seen this on a couple of times also, but with just an individual link, not the site itself. Perhaps someone brings on a virus without knowing about it, I just do not click on those links.
Just bought super duper BMW winter gloves ?? They will be on trial soon as the weather has turned cold. Paid € 100 so I am expecting big things. Will keep you posted on the results.
Maybe, maybe for long trips, like over an hour. But having tried one of those long windshields, I thought it took so much away from the biking experience that I took it off and have not used it...
Congrats to everyone on the hunt. It was fun to drive to new places to get a photo and worth the effort. I will be requesting an international contest next time, without such items as a town with a...
