Good day everybody, I am now shopping for my first Spyder looking at the F3-SE6. But the question is, Has anybody made a carrier for their Spyder to be able to have a pet go with them. I have a pug that is also my service animal and will be riding with me. If you have pics or ideas please let me know.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

He's asking about a carrier that will fit on his Spyder, not pull behind it I think.

We had a Pug...
At 21 pounds: he was a bit too big, to ride the Spyder. :shocked:
Our "Tink" is only 5 pounds, and the Missus keeps her in a pouch that she slings across her body, and over her shoulder: no trouble at all! :thumbup:
I'd certainly suggest that "Spyderful" pets be much smaller than the typical Pug... Sorry! nojoke

It sounds like your looking for a way to carry your dog ON the spyder, our dog is too big for a carrier so we purchased a trailer, Trina has logged over 10,000 miles in her home on wheels and it also has a luggage rack we put a gear bag on. Shes been to Glacier Park, Yellowstone, Sequoias, Death Valley, California Redwoods, Crater Lake, Badlands SD.
In temperatures that run from 107 to 27 degrees as its insulated, vented, in in the high heat I put a block of ice in a tray and opened a window so the wind could help cool her.
It's safe and secure and has two locking doors. In the last photo she is panting because she just took a long run chasing rabbits in a park in Wyoming.

:thumbup: I like that setup. Best I've seen so far. Looks sturdy and safe and has the luggage rack on top too.

Baker Air Wings sells a nice rack for the back of the F3 and it would be a good platform to mount a carrier to. Here is a link http://bakerbuiltairwings.com/proddetail.php?prod=SPYF3LR
Mrs. Baker passed away last week so if you make an inquiry and don't get a quick response please understand why.
EDIT: If you go with their rack just be sure you don't drill through the bars, that's where they run the wires for the lights.

I don't think id ever forgive myself if something to my pug as a result of me bringing her along. Just not worth the risk to me. I'm sure people do it all the time, I just wont be one of them. That being said I'm sure there are plenty of options out there.

Jeez. Relax.....
Well, YOU did ask for NEW ideas....Be careful what you wish for.
The more I ponder the original question, the more I'm of a like mind with slowpoke. As much as I love/loved all my dogs, I wouldn't risk it. Not just talking about crashes. Other things can go wrong while away from home/vet service. Heatstroke, dehydration, eye injuries, etc. And what if such travel was not to the dog's liking?

I really haven't seen many folks with their fur babies on the bike. The idea of having a pet bounce down the road in a trailer and breathing exhaust fumes doesn't excite me much either. I can't imagine it's a very smooth ride in a trailer. Can you just rig up a simple pet carrier for the back seat? We leave our little ones home.

After over 10,000 miles of riding in her trailer I would think that our dog would not want to get in it or at least show some hesitation about getting in it. But I'm only saying this from experience and not just something I pulled out of the air. Our dog gets excited about traveling and jumps in her trailer the same as she does in the truck or car. As for bouncing around in a trailer , I did my research and settled on on with torsion suspension and have observed the trailer for mile after mile as I usually put the wife in front on her bike so I don't have to watch my rear view mirrors constantly. I have left the dog at home ( had it stolen and killed on the road) we have taken our dog to very reputable kennels only to pick her up after vacation with kennel cough, twice, and the last time she contacted a virus. So If we cant get a babysitter at home for her she goes with. and as for the folks that worry about a accident on the road then I guess her and I will be in the same boat, but she has more protection than me. As for putting a little dog in a special carrier ON the bike if I did have a little chuck'em dog I would not fell comfortable exposing them to the elements. Just my opinion and we all know what that's worth. But I am speaking from real experience of many miles on the road with our dog.
That's what he's asking about, not a trailer. Leaving the dog at home isn't an option as it is a Service Animal.
Folks, he's not asking for your opinion. He's asking for help with a solution for bringing his pug along with him on a Spyder.
That's our reason to go with a trailer also. It's also our experience, altho' I won't say our two terriers are exactly excited about riding in the trailer.
The OP is asking for options to take their pug ON the Spyder with him, because it's a service dog. So, I would imagine a trailer is not an option for him. As for the weather issue, we don't know what kind of weather he rides in but I am willing to bet he is not going to put his best friend in harm's way if he can help it.

Granted it isn't a Spyder and this pup is a little smaller, but here is an idea for you. There are several more videos on this guys youtube page. Including one where he installs the windscreen for his dog.
I have a couple of pictures of other dogs that ride that I took. I'll see if I can find them and post them up.
