    Default Thank you for all the help!

    I am sure glad that there are so many well-informed people here that share their knowledge. The videos and written instructions of different procedures that members have published in SpyderLovers and uploaded to YouTube have been helpful time and again as I tear into the great unknown that is my Spyder's innards!

    Seriously, your instructions and videos have made a world of difference for me. I've been wrenching on stuff for many years and I'm not afraid to take on any job as long as I have the right tools, but the Spyder is a bit more daunting, since this is my first vehicle of this type. If I've never done a particular job, someone here has, and has shared that experience with the rest of us.

    What a great group!

    I definitely second that comment. I have done much of my own work mostly because of the wisdom and insight of many of you actively contributing to this site. Thank you all!

    I agree too. So many are so generous with their knowledge of Spyders. I hate to even replace my 2012 RTS with a new model until Finless updates his ride.

    Your right without this Fantastic group to ask ? and read how you did it. Half of what i've tackled would still be waiting for me to start.
    Thank you to all Spyder Lovers

    Many thanks to everyone that strives to help the rest of us. Couldn't do most of the things we've done without you.

    If everyone on this sight that you helped pitched in ten bucks each I think you'd have enough to make that upgrade. By rights, BRP should send you a spyder of your choice for all the help you've given to their customers.
