Well I just had my 2- waterproof flex led strands come in and I'm wanting to try to put them on the underside of my RT tomorrow so I can have them set up before I leave for The Lone Star Rally, ill be leaving Sat morning and tomorrow is my only day off until then. Does anyone know the fastest way to get under it and be able to share the knowledge of the best way to wire it up? Thanks.

Hi and welcome! The local dealer for Can Am is Beaumont Tractor, which is on College Street (409-866-3360). The sell tractors and spyders! They may have or can get the parts for you or know of others who can. I'm here in Beaumont too (see below for details on my bike) so if you want to ride sometime let me know!

Yea I have talked to them they want to sell it for the same amount Can Am is selling them for. Doesn't look like ill have a radio for a good while..

Welcome, the Sena Bluetooth headsets work great. If you have smartphones you can listen to music from them and won't need a radio.

[ZDarkman]

Thank you, not really able to spend that much right now.. I did find a radio that is small but looks promising.. (Shark motorcycle radio) has anyone heard of it?

I have a 1999 BMW R1100RT and I installed a Shark 100 watt amplifier in the glove box and hooked up 2 speakers in the dash. Plenty of power and sounds good. Basically set it up so I can just hook up any mp3 player to it.

Good luck with your SPYDER!.

[jimbo277630]

Well as you might have guessed Im a new owner of a Used 2010 RT SM-5 (no audio just yet.. trying to find a solution to that aspect..) It had an Aftermarket Exaust from Two Brothers Racing on it already (sounds good.. well to me anyways.. its a lil louder than the stock exaust.. an no its not a high piched soud either) I live currently live in Beaumont, TX with my Fiancee (both of our parents live in lil ole Vidor, TX so we might be moving back there next year). We are always looking for others in the area that are up for a good ride on the weekends (We will be going to The Lone Star Rally down in Galveston Island, TX. Thanks and safe riding!

enjoy

Looks Good, only one word of concern, Battery. As everyone who has one knows, the Spyders have a marginal charging and battery system (no different than a lot of other 2 wheelers). You'll be fine as long as you keep your battery cables tight (I check mind a couple of times a year and Yes, sometimes they need tighting at the battery connection). Also, if you don't already have one, keep the spyder on a battery tender. You have electronics always on in the background so keep her juiced up. I have had mine to not start after two or three weeks neglecting to plug in the tender. With all this being said and taking a few precautions you should be fine, these things are a blast and your sure to enjoy the ride.
Have fun and be safe.
Stan
