    Default I have a strange request

    I would like to find someone in the Lincolnton, Hickory, or Mooresville NC area that will let me take some measurments off their Spyder. I know this sounds a little strange but I am in the process of building a reverse trike from a Honda Goldwing and would like to get some measurments off the body. I will be extremely carefull not to scratch anything. Let me know if you can help me.

    Thanks.... Jerry

    Research the Spyder development problems before you get too far into your project. BRP found the Spyder to be too unstable and almost canceled it altogether. They then teamed with Bosch Electronics (Germany) who developed the vehicle stability control system which incorporated several computer systems along with antilock brakes, etc.

    I don't know if the Goldwing platform would fare any better, but you may find yourself in way over your head in headaches and costs before you make it work.

    I'd love to read more about the Spyder development. You have any links you can share? Thanks!

    I guess the pressure washer part was what did it eh Josh! It is just that I can leave that damn thing for years, and after two pulls away it goes!
