Floto612 those are some sick pictures I really like what you have done. It was really glad we got to talk sorry that the family kept interrupting us. You know how it is with a house full of family for the holidays but nothing could keep me from my pc. I will definitely look into that new wheel chair I might just get rid of my ridged one since its collecting more dust than my old one. But I put a lot of thought to what you was saying it would be better to be able to ride and get off whenever I like thanks for the heads up I will be keeping in touch for sure!

Hotwheels,
I got the Hindle as well...love the sound of it...loud enough and it should last...I have read too about too many problems with aftermarket pipes...the Hindle is made for the Can-Am specifically, so all should be good!
As far as triple play...I got the center taillight...love it...as far as having one for a trailer or anything else, at this point, I'm convinced Evan can do just about anything...they are using quite the adhesive for some of the lights...
It's definitely getting too cold to ride...and I'm here in MD...NY is even colder! Although I won't 'winterize' the bike, I'll run it enough during the winter to keep the parts movin' and the battery ready to go...you know we catch some oddball days in the 50s during the winter...you can bet I'll be out on one of those days!
As far as other mods go, if you have the cash handy, I recommend the zumo 550 and the scala rider 2. This way you can talk on the phone, listen to music, and hear your navi while you ride. At 70 mph on the highway it's tough to hear, but I'm sure if I had a different helmet and a larger windscreen, a lot of this problem would be corrected. I have a great contact at a Can-Am dealership...he gets me items really cheap...the Hindle was $430.00 delivered...wow!

The stock pipe is made for the Can-Am too.

Hotwheels, I have a son in a chair. he was born with Spinia Bifida and is simi Quad. He has been in a chair sense age six, he is 26 now. I know first hand how hard it is to over come the problems you have had to endure. All I can say is keep it up, your the man! And enjoy that Spyder!

Awesome machine, even more awesome people. I have enjoyed the open road in many different forms. This machine may lead to adventures with one that I love. I am glad you can share the feeling. Inspiring, simply inspiring.

It held for 8 hrs of riding through the twisties. The only thing is if you do not have any 'trunk' muscles, you'll tea-kettle off the back caues your rigid has to be completely disassembled. There is a compact folder by Quickie, the Revolution which will work for us "Gimps". 
As for keeping your feet on the pegs..I'm just using bungie cords...still....unless you make a custom floorboard as Floto did. Heck I put on 6500 miles in 5 months..im trying to catch up for as many years i've been off a bike
