Well I just pulled the Spyder in for the spring checkup and to add some stuff I got over the winter. I have to take all the panels off and fix the parking brake too its not working. New add on will be, horn, Driver and passengers floorboards, brake pedal, skid plate, armrest, trunk flag poles and chrome handlebar cover. So I may need some advice bob as I'm going through all this stuff.

Well Bob I got the spyder in place, jacked up and panels off. Bike apr 15 1030 sl.jpg jackedup sl.jpg panels sl.jpg The parking brake was not working when I put it away for the winter so now I see why. brake line kink sl.jpg brake line out 2 sl.jpg I notice the brake line has a coating / cover at the pullies, should that be on the whole length of the line or just at the ends where the pullies are? Still have to take the skid plate off in the front, the pegs, passenger floorboards, support board and seat back rest.

Bob I got the pegs passenger floorboards and support boards off finally, wow that was not easy if you don't want to disconnect the master cylinder from the lines and remove. The hard part is doing it with out pulling the plunger out of the master cylinder. took me about 5 hours to get them off. Foot Board SL.jpg Now Monday I can start putting this thing back together.

Well Bob here's an update to the spring bike make over. I started working on it Monday and then late Monday morning I got a call and the Spyder took the back seat, there are now more important things I must do. The call was about an Honor Mission from the PGR. The mission was for a USM that was KIA; SSgt B. Hines. Funeral services were on Tuesday and Wednesday, so for the last two day I have been standing in a flag line in honor and respect of a fellow Marine who gave all. So, Bob tomorrow I will get back to working on the Spyder and think how lucky I am to be doing so!

Bob I got the spring updates done, a little late but finally done. I changed the oil and brake fluid. I added a chrome skid plate on the front added chrome support boards, Chrome passenger floorboards, Chrome driver floorboards, Chrome brake peddle and extra large peddle, Chrome handlebar cover, two chrome flag pole and blue tooth sm10 for the radio. So I'm all ready for my first ride of the year Saturday (our annual Run for the Son). Here are the last photos of the completed work. I hope you have a great year camping Bob!

The tires would be aired- up
Engine oil would get a quick look-see
I'd start digging around the house for my riding gear

When the day arrived: I wouldn't look back until Winter once again reared it's ugly head!
This year: every time a bike went by the house: I'd stop the yard chores, and wistfully watch it pass...
… and dream of past opening days...
Hi my friend. Hadn't been on in awhile. Did the camper get finished ? Hope all is well and we'll all be sending stuff for your expert commentary.Have a great day my friend. Rick
