A Convertible top/bimini for the Spyder?
Hey guys,
Does anyone make such an animal?
-
I have a spandex "sun cover" for my RT, that attaches with 4 hooks. Folds up into a 4x6 inch bag. It has an Eagle/US flag motif, and cost about $12 - I use it everywhere, especially if I'm going to have to leave the Spyder unattended for 30 minutes or more. I've actually come up to my Spyder, and found strangers sitting on it.

Dave made up one to keep Teddy's Mohawk out of the sun...
Are looking for one to use while on the cruise??

You might want to look at these: http://www.cycleshade.com There are several competitors out there.

May I suggest that you drive your car then instead of the Spyder.

I get the feeling that is exactly what is wanted, perhaps a T Rex would work better for them

I'm not trying to be a smart ass I just do not understand why in the world you would want to put a bimini on a Spyder. If you are worrried about sun exposure cover your skin or ride on cloudy days.

I actually totally get what AmandaB is talking about and am shocked that no one has brought one to market. A unit that could fold up and mount from the front to the back, covering the rider from rain, sun, etc.
My main thought was for rain. Covering for the sun wouldn't be my thing, but some people are really sensative to the sun.
In the rain, who really cares if it's not 'cool' or not?
Also,
To be honest, I'm actually shocked no one has come out with a plastic fairing type unit that would mount in place of the windshield and go all the back over the rider and attach to the rear too. Like a big bubble. Not saying it would be my thing, but in nasty weather or riding in the winter in Michigan---- I could see it being pretty nice.
I have a snow-cab on my snow thrower. I hope that doesn't make me not look cool....... ;-)
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

We were in Barcalona a while back and I had to take a picture of this. I bet this is what you have in mind maybe.

Apparently you folks live up north. In Oklahoma it will be 111 today and I am sure Houston is no better.
Something that would safely keep the sun off of me directly would be amazing if it existed.
