A post on one of the Facebook Spyder groups led to this...a place for larger bikers to talk about their successes and horror stories regarding their riding experiences as well as a place to talk about / ask questions about equipment add-ons that make the riding experience better

I don’t have a Spyder yet...I am signed up for the riding experience in September and curious how well I will fit in the standard saddle.

I’m 6 feet tall, about 415lbs with a long reach and torso but a relatively small inseam of 30”.
Airline seats are a little small for me, especially coach seats with hard armrests.
Despite my size, I am mobile and agile...my doctor told me that he’s amazed at how well I am physically aside from being overweight.

I’d like to ride with my wife eventually and I’m sure I will be looking at a saddle replacement as well as perhaps even looking at suspension upgrades (plus getting rid of the Kendas) with extra weight behind me.

So larger riders, what has worked for you?
