Not your typical modified Spyder

[Firefly]

Pretty neat idea-- and well done.

I'd really like to see under the hood pics---- did you lengthen the swingarm?

[SpyderGirl]

Well I am definitely looking forward to an opportunity to see this in person. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on this one.

[SpyderWolf]

I also think it looks a whole lot better than the T-Rex.

Thanks! We actually had to shorten the swingarm. The engine is now behind the driver/rider instead of underneath them.

We were going for a cohesive design from the onset. Some of the other three wheelers available seem to put design lower on their priority list.

Did you change it out from a belt drive to a different kind of drive system? I noticed you were selling the drive belt but wasn't sure if that was because you moved the motor or not.

The T-Rex is CHAIN driven.

Not sure why a $50K+ machine is being driven by a chain, but I am sure they had their reasons.

As for names, how about "Spy-Rod"?

Perhaps because all of the high end sport bikes are still chain driven as well.

Well the T-Rex does have the ZX-14 motor in it which is chain driven, but I would much prefer a shaft drive or a belt drive if given the choice.

with you, but this may have been one of the areas that they decided to just go with what was already available. Cost savings at that point perhaps. Did you see the episode on "How It's Made" where they showed them building one of these? Of course they did not show everything, but it seemed to be a pretty straightforward process.

That is most likely the case. And yes, I did see that. I wanted to see more.

At least they are planning on making this into a kit, and you may just be close enough to get to see it in person before the rest of us.

Yes, this is probably true.

[Pelican_Racing]

Yes, this is probably true.

Make that *definitely* true.

I'm not a fan of chain drive either, so we kept the vehicle belt driven. Let me tell you, BRP did *not* use a standard motorcycle belt...

Now I've gotta go hunt down that video ya'll talking about.

I figured as much. You should be able to find that vid on YouTube probably.

As for your prototype, now I REALLY can't wait to see it in person, I have so many questions that probably couldn't all be answered here.

ALSO, you might have another customer right here.... if we ever decide to maybe get a second Spyder (or whatever) I might have to consider this as a possibility to convert one so it doesn't look like I have two of the same vehicle -- especially if it can look anything like those pictures on your website.

That turned out very nice! I like what you did with the paint scheme as well. on getting it finished.

[SpyderGirl]

AWESOME!

I still want to get down there to see this in person.

[Motza]

VERY COOL... LOVE TO SEE IT IN 360`

[powerbyaj]

Sell new look to movie company as a transformer...its sweet looking

[katnapper]

WOW, just bring it on over to "Spyders in the Smokes" turn all the heads!

[kismaokole]

SpyderLovers avert your eyes! I've done extensive work to my Spyder, so much so that the State of California no longer recognizes it as a Can-Am. I'm still deciding on what to call it.




I realize that it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but please be kind. This has taken a year of long hours and late nights, as well as nearly my entire bank account to accomplish.

More details to follow. Questions gladly answered!

Thanks,
Hong

AMAZING! Makes me want to hang on to my Spyder for the potential of making that kind of modification possible. Thank you.

[Eddie]

I'm with every one else WOW!!! Very sharp indeed!~~

[jwhatman]

Awesome job! That looks totally hot. I also had to show hubby the garage. The beautiful cars are displayed appropriately. Being we are car enthusiasts as well as motorcycle enthusiasts, well anything that has a motor really, we can appreciate the drive and determination it took to make that beautiful machine.
