We made our own arm, identical in specs to the OEM arm but 100% better in Billet Alloy and will never Crack or break.
I would like one too!
I would PM Lamont and explain what is going on and that you are making these. It's safety in my mind so maybe you can work something out.

I do have about 6 spares and would love to sell you one, But!!!! The Administrators of this forum would consider me a Vendor and kick me out. I am a 66 year old Spyder Rider like the rest of us and I make the odd improvement to the Spyders, it is definately not a business just a passion.
So if you can convince The administrators then yes I can sell you one.... Cheers
No go..........
Maybe you can camp on to one of the existing vendors that may have shown interest.
This is an unfortunate turn.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

He hasn't shown us any pictures yet...
Or did I miss them?
Yea... I will believe it when I see it
For now those CNC'ed units look like the perfect thing.
I do not know what Lamont charges for advertising but if enough people want the thing and we split it up, we can "fund" the guy!

If you are selling for profit you are a vendor and have to follow the same rules as any other vendor, it's not based on your age, it's based on profit.
Here's the rules of the forum if you haven't seen them but I'm guessing you have. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...orting-Vendors

Lamont, so he can sell if it's at cost and not for profit? Not sure he is willing to do that but wanted to check that is OK?

....Really I am, that " ARM " is a work of art and He should be awarded some kind of medal / trophy etc. for what He has accomplished. And I am not being facetious in saying this , I really mean it......But , and there is always a but......If you get this " ARM " .....have you thought about what you are going to do with it.........I'm serious .......When I looked at this problem, one of the main stumbling blocks was dis-assembling the shaft from the arm.......BECAUSE BRP didn't make it to be DIS-ASSEMBLED after it was made ......I'm not jerking your chains on this......and I'm not trying to throw water on this either......But if you had the " ARM " .....then what...........Even if you have a friendly dealer ( ha ha ) They are not equipped to dis-assemble this part and put it back together...........Now I know Bob is going to answer this post by telling us .....to all just eat some more ice-cream ......Personally I think He should Patent it and submit it to BRP, so they can use it to fix this problem , since their engineers can't ....Mikeguyver
To Bluenight,
I bought noboots arm and installed it myself, now I'm no mechanic however if you take your time and follow his directions it was not all that difficult. If you don't know one end of a spanner from the other then maybe you have a friend who does that could help.
Hi, I HAVE A 2011 RT LTD AND MY 'DOGBONE' PIECE BROKE THIS MORNING (45500 MILES)
AS I AM PLANNING A TRIP LEAVING HOUSTON ON WEDNESDAY I WAS WONDERING IF THE JBWELD AND HOSECLAMP FIX WAS FOR BROKEN ARMS OR JUST FOR CRACKED ARMS? ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT WOULD GET ME ANOTHER 2000 MILES OR SO BEFORE I GET THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS
Update-
i did the JBWELD hose clamp fix and it worked through a fifty mile, bumpy road ride holding well. Will try a couple of hundred mile ride tomorrow and if it holds off I go on Wednesday -thanks for the information.
Has anyone been having issues with the 2012 RT-S's breaking?
Mine was recently in a front end collision , mainly just the frunk got scratched up and the the right fender, and some other
stuff that Spyderpops and Pittbull are handling, but after reading this, and knowing it was a pretty significant whacking,
as my arms and wrists can attest to, I am wondering if I don't need to replace or get a reinforced one?

I can not find the pic of the arm made by "noboot". Can someone post it? Thanks, Tom
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

deleted and I do not know why he was just showing what he made and wasn't really trying to sell them. Other people come up with fixes and it was really more of a public service since the BRP cost is stupid to fix it, I hope he contacts a vendor to sell them for him it is was what BRP should have done instead as using pot metal.
