    First, what Spyder and year? If it's an RT, I believe you are supposed to be able to lock the steering and glove box by turning the handle bars and then the key to lock the glove box. Have never tried it and it's to cold here to go out in the garage to verify. Someone else here can give you more accurate info I'm sure.

    Yes this can be done on any glove box ….. I thought about doing this for my RT ….. Then I thought about the fact that it wouldn't really prevent someone from breaking the cover … so that would be just another expense ….. If still interested I'll post How to DIY it …. cost about $3.00 ……. Mike

    Kinda but not really, the screen is low enough the box won't open. But the handlebars move with a flip of a lever so not really secure. ¿

    I guess I think in terms of probabilities. I would be more concerned about the contents of my tank bag than glovebox because the tank bag is visible; most non Ryker owners don't know the glove box exists. That being said, I have never had anyone mess with any of my tank bags.

    I think it’s more of me overthinking stuff being in MA waiting for this weather to break!

    Don't leave anything in the Spyder/Ryker that is valuable. A determined thief will break the glove box or bags like they are nothing. Locks and closed compartments are for honest people.

    In 53 years of riding...only had one bike broken into. They stole nothing...I went by the don't leave valuables on board rule.

    Have left helmets on the seat (bike was visible from window at restaurant), accidentally left the key in one Spyder overnight in the front row of a hotel parking lot (Fairbanks AK), and it was still there in the AM.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
