Hi Darren,
Those look REALLY cool on Sandra!
Question(s): Do they affect light ouput, and must you remove them for nighttime riding?
Hi Bob,
Thanks for putting my pic the right way up. When I switch full beam on the eyes magically disappear which is great and therefore don't affect light output and no need to remove for night time riding.

Eye have...err...I have ordered a set, but haven't installed them yet. I got the cyborg ones in blue. I'm really wanting them to come out with a set for the RT.
Also ordered the Blue...If they don't look good, it will be the cheapest farkle I've thrown away.

Thanks, Darren!
A question for you: Have you noticed any increase in the number of Spyders in and around your usual routes?
I'm just wondering if they're starting to become more popular in England...
I dunno if it's just the heat here in Aus, or the fact that I ride with my lights on high beam during the day; but since my headlight 'glasses' have developed small but growing 'melt spots' where the light beam focusses on the polycarbonate lens cover, I really wouldn't be recommending anyone stick anything on the front of their headlights, no matter how 'cool' you might think those 'eyes' might be!!
Check out the pic, I had to take it at a bit of an angle so you could get a good view of the melted section, but the 'distortion' you can see in the pic just to the left of the projector lens is the melting section of polycarbonate - that pic is from early on, it's grown somewhat since then & now feels like it's almost melted all the way thru the material, just in the coupla months I've been waiting for the Dealer & BRP to get the warranty stuff sorted!! (Parts to replace ALL my headlights are on their way tho!)
Both headlights have similar spots of melting polycarbonate, they first appeared (or at least I first noticed them) after spending most of a reasonably hot day riding quite slowly (about 5 hours @ 40 kph or less during the hottest part of a 45 deg C plus day!) while on a Toy Run just before last Christmas.... but seeing that happening on my headlights makes me more than just a little concerned about sticking anything onto the polycarbonate lens/front of the headlight lenses/covers, especially if you don't have low wattage lights (like LED's) &/or you ride with your lights on hi-beam a lot!!
Over to you all...

Hi Bob,
I haven't noticed any increase in the number of Spyders in or around my usual routes. I constantly ride around in Leeds city my home every weekend where I know its busy to get the Spyder out there and known in the hope that someone will see it and buy one. At present lots of photographs and questions about the Spyder from members of the public. I need to email BRP/Dealers to find out if they would support me in setting up a pop up stand in the city to display my Spyder, so that I can help generate more interest and find more potential buyers for a great product. I am sure the dealers would help, because it would benefit them.
