Very cool! :2thumbs::clap:

Here is an actual US Army bike that I really dig. Seen a few of these now.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Is this the Harley Model 50 WLA? I think I've seen these in the various Army museums. The Army had thousands of them (and we shipped a bunch to the Soviets) made for WWII. Very rugged, practical bike, but the Willys Jeep kind of ended our military's widespread usage of motorcycles. A primary reason was stability, but imagine if there'd been a Spyder-type design back then... Of course you'd have needed a whole lot of trucks to carry the computer nannies...pps:

Just a quick update. Marc wrote today; seems like his wife delivered their son 8 weeks prematurely. Although the baby's in the NICU, Marc says he's doing well.:clap:

Naturally, Marc's focus is where it belongs, so the Soldier's Spyder saga will be a little delayed. Keep the Spiralus folks in your thoughts and prayers!ray:

Okay, folks,

Thanks for your input, comments, and advice. This time Marc has sent the graphics for the entire kit. No camouflage, but... Take a close look at the ghost flames and eagle!:clap:

Yeah, I'm impressed with what they came up with. It's a little hard to see the details in the smaller version, but once it's on (in a few weeks, I've still two more weeks on my Fort Lewis detail), I'll post some better pictures.

In the meantime, this might be a better closeup of the trunk lid.
:yes::yes:

 

[DynamoBT]

Ahhhhhhh! Much better. Looks fantastic!!!

 

[obiwanbill]

:lecturef_smilie::hun: I don't remember buying a Sea-doo... But I did find a couple YOU can use!

:clap:
This is the design I'm going with, except for a font change on the "Army Strong" fender. Spiralus is asking for $259 CAD (approx $235 US), so I'm asking for this for my birthday. So, pictures should be available by last week of August, as I'm still away from home.
:gaah:

End of the Story!

Alrighty then, as promised, here are the pictures of my Spiralus kit installed on my Millenium Yellow Spyder. It took me 3 hours with the able assistance of my daughter, and I think we did fine!

The only thing I would say is that this material is really stretchy, and this makes lining up design elements that cross the piece boundaries a challenge, but, again, the ControlTac adhesive helped as we were able to position and reposition until it was close.

Throughout, Marc and the gang at Spiralus were great to work with, and I love my graphics.

The first pic is a 'before' shot of my Spyder. The next shows the taping of the pieces on to check placement, and the last three are of the finished work.

What do you think?

 

[BumbleBee]

Awesome :thumbup: Superb!! Can't wait to see mine. Looks really good.

Looks real good even if it is a Army Spyder, almost went with a navy theme with mine but went with flames in the end. Mine are on the way should arrive Wednesday :clap:just in time. I leave for Branson the next day. I have a friend who dose these for a living coming over to help It is a big kit almost covers the entire bike. They were done by Peter Grant in BC. I will post pics when I get back.:doorag:That graphics package looks great on the yellow.

 

[NancysToy]

Very, very sharp! My compliments on a great design and a job well done. :thumbup: Wwe'll expect to see you both in the next Army ad campaign. It looks like it came right off the TV! WOW!!!
