    Default Phoenix mechanical help needed

    Hey guys, I would like to add a few things to Fred, a driver's backrest and passenger armrests. I have watched the videos on how to do these. I don't feel comfortable doing them myself. Is there anybody in the Phoenix area who wouldn't mind make a few bucks to help me do this?
    Fred is a 2010 RT SM5 - Sold.

    I am not a mechanic. When I have a tool in my hand, 911 needs to be on Standby.

    Accidentally put this on the wrong board originally...

    Wrenching is half the fun... I'm out in the far east valley but if you're ever out this way and want to add some stuff let me know. Garage A/C makes it a little more enjoyable

    Nice to find some locals. Im new to the Spyder and need a rear tire replaced. Does anyone know a "reasonable" tire/service shop in Phoenix? (Not Ride Now) Appreciate any advise.

    Thanks, David

    I 100% agree with your not Ride Now comment. I saw another post that indicated Nash Motorsports will install customer supplied tires. And, I'm just assuming your are getting rid of the lousy Kenda.....? Good Luck..... Jim

    Thanks for Nash suggestion. Yeah the Kenda rear made 4500 miles. Time to go with the General Altimax. Thanks Jim.
