    Default I need a quick favor.....

    I need two measurements for a 2018 or 2019 Spyder RT. First measurement I need is the center to center distance of the two front tires, as you are standing in front of the machine. The second measurement I need is the distance from the center of the front wheel (the center hub), to the very front of the bike (the front bumper/nose of the bike).

    I will be going to get the bike (out of state), and I need to get my trailer setup properly for strapping the bike down, so those two measurements are needed before I can install my E Track in the trailer......Thanks in advance.

    Didn't realize that the RT was wider than the F3. Center to Center on my 2019 F3 Ltd is roughly 51.5"

    Yes. The F3 is narrower. Noticeable since I also have an RT.

    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.

    I finished up the trailer yesterday with the E Track, spaced at 54" center to center and still had about 6 1/2" of space on both sides of the trailer (6' x 10' Utility trailer). I also planned on 25" from the center of the front wheels to the front rail of the trailer, giving me a buffer of 4 to 5" of space between the front of the trailer rail and the front of the Can Am. I also received my Erickson E Track Ratchet straps with the idler rollers and rubber pads for tie down over both front wheels. Here is what the tie downs look like....



    A Big Shoutout to SnakeEyes for providing the necessary measurements for this. I'm ready to go next Friday and pick it up.......after I get through another work week!
