    Default Light bulb replacement

    Like so many discussions on here, I'm sure this has been addressed before. I'm just wondering if I can replace turn signal, backup, & front fender bulbs with LED bulbs. I know we have advertisers on here that offer mods....but can I just replace the bulbs? Is this a canbus system so I need to get compatible canbus bulbs? I'd sort of like the LED look without tearing the Spyder down & maybe at less expense.

    I somewhat question if the arrangement of the LED diodes on one of those replacements would be effective in the tail light housing of a spyder?

    ah......Ottawa!!! Home of the luscious Beaver Tail!!! The Rideau Canoe Club isn't bad either.

    So I guess I'm right that it's a canbus system. Can't wait to start replacing.......

    Default FRONT FENDER LIGHTS

    Tired to start a new tread but not sure how. So..... I have a 2011 RTL and the front right fender light is out. My question is do I have to take the fender off to change the bulb or is there a simpler way. At first look I do not see one. Thanks for all the help..

    Since I am writing here anyway I also have another question for everyone. The other day I was riding two up, my wife, and I made a couple left hand turns and the left wheel come off the ground. I thought I was not not going fast but this has never happened before. My wife said a few nice words about this but I just keep on riding. Has this happen to anyone else. thanks again.

    Just pop the lens cover off with a slim screwdriver. You don't take a fender off. I replaced mine with these : http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2 FWLED-x5.htm%23photos
