So what kind of performance improvement did you get? The exhaust sounds wicked.

**rineer4635** · 10-10-2010, 06:36 PM

So you did it! Did you end up installing it yourself? I thought I was going to make Gettysburg but too much going on yesterday.

**altonk** · 10-10-2010, 07:24 PM

Yeah I did it myself
Pretty simple

More hp available than my soft 45 profile tire can put to the ground aerocharger says 145 hp to the wheel and I believe them after riding it

**Dochands** · 10-10-2010, 07:48 PM

Enjoy but tighten that band clamp. LOL

**altonk** · 10-10-2010, 08:27 PM

I did gonna pickup a wider tband clamp from west marine tomorrow
Which outerwear cover fits the filter btw

**WackyDan** · 10-10-2010, 11:03 PM

I got to ride Doc's at SITS... And yeah, the rear wheel breaks loose at peak boost and that was with all his dirty laundry on his corbins. I did it in 1st through 3rd, and I know Doc said it would do it in 4th too.

It is utterly amazing how fast that turbo takes that Rotax to redline in every gear.

That pipe that comes with the turbo really does sound amazing.

I'd love the turbo, but I keep pinching myself and reminding myself that I bought the Spyder for touring.... But I still want one eventually.

Nice videos---- wonder if you're the first to put one on an SE5 ?

Also glad to see I'm not the only one that will pass on a double yellow----

Enjoy!

**texasride** · 10-11-2010, 06:35 AM

i guess the double yellow lines are not like the ones we have no passing, no more need to be said.

I think they're just like yellow signal lights--- means go REALLY FAST...

**altonk** · 10-11-2010, 10:04 AM

Means there's not enough room for soccer mom to pass in her mini van

**Dochands** · 10-11-2010, 11:31 AM

The cover is custom. My name is Sherwin Kahn. Just call them and ask for the same cover. Not sure that will save you the $10 setup fee or not.

Also, they said the newly designed front flange is ribbed to hold the clamp better.

**altonk** · 10-11-2010, 08:20 PM

Thx
Yeah mine has a ridge on it so if you tighten the band behind it it should stay
I'm still gonna use a t bolt clamp
Screw clamp just looks cheap lol

**SpyderWolf** · 10-11-2010, 08:41 PM

on getting the turbo installed. Glad to hear you had a great time with it this weekend, and hope there are many more to come.

**SethO** · 10-12-2010, 02:10 AM

are you riding thru town quite a bit? no triples? what was your redline in 5th?

does sound hella mean.

**altonk** · 10-12-2010, 09:50 AM

Seth
Only been in the low triple digits
Gonna find somewhere to spin it all the way up this weekend

**mooneych** · 10-12-2010, 12:29 PM

Since buying the Spyder, my first bike, I've gotten used to seeing objects get small in my rear view mirrors. I kinda like that.

I was Altonk's latest victim last Saturday.

Last weekend, we met for a ride in Gettysburg. It was a beautiful day and I was next to last, with Altonk bringing up the rear. Since that was the riding order, I became used to having him behind me.

We eventually left G'Burg and entered the interstate, when all of a sudden, I hear this scream, and as I turned, I see this "thing" whizzz by, accompanied by a deathly roar. He became small rather quickly, although the roar remained. I never imagined that a Spyder could get away from me so fast under full throttle.

Suffice to say, it was a humbling experience.

Where do I sign up to get one....

**Bob Denman** · 10-12-2010, 01:50 PM

Question: When did the first Spyder get raced?

Answer: Right after the second one was built!

I am hoping to ryde with one of the turbo charged Spyder Lovers one of these days as well.

**altonk** · 10-13-2010, 12:00 AM

...and that's how the horsepower wars get kicked into high gear...
Mooney; that JATO thing is lookin' like an option...

Yeah, it might be an option. What scares me is Altonk's mention that he was not a full throttle. Do JATO's come in six-packs?

**Bob Denman** · 10-13-2010, 02:19 PM

You'll have to pin your ears back, grease up your ribcage and pick the lint out of your bellybutton to hten up for this race!

..and therell be Al...
