Well I know I have been lingering around asking questions and you all have been very helpful. My Spyder is not 100% complete, might change a few things but all in all it’s running great and getting A LOT of attention. Big thanks to Daystar for the engineering genius !!!

No changes to ECU. All nannies are functioning for safety. Stability contorol works but is less aggressive because of the suspension set up. Front tires stay planted even in hard truns so its really hard to get it to fire.
So would this be street legal, plateable, and the first Spyder to Deadhorse, AK?

Thanks everyone. I have always wanted to make a UTV street legal but NC is not too keen on that. lol.
This is 100% street legal but I still have the occasional cop pull me to question it.
I have what you call a 'carcaine' problem. I love everything with tires... usually big tires. haha.
If I can make it bigger and faster... I will. haha.
I think have a pretty reasonable handle on what's needed up the front end, especially now I've seen your pics, but can you tell us what you did to fit the bigger tire under the rear end?? It looks like it's the same swing arm assembly, but it's on a steeper rake than stock to give the wheel more clearance... is that just from a replacement shock & spring assembly or has something else been done??

It’s a blast. With that much travel this thing will eat any curb, bump, pot hole without even flinching.
I still have the belt belt drive on there for now.
That is an awesome build, but I gotta wonder about that exposed belt. How hard would it be to fabricate some sort of guard or enclosure to keep out the rocks? I can see it going on rough roads, but I would wonder about off roading with only that single rear drive wheel. But it looks like you have more experience with that kind of thing than me..
