I dunno... If your local dealer is anything like ours, then after recently doing a roadside 'fix' of the local dealer's shoddy job on another Spyder Ryder's 'brand new Spyder' that the dealer very grudgingly fitted with an Ultra bar, I reckon I'd be sacrificing some sleep and doing a late night/early morning job to avoid the heat of the daytt before risking
that!
It wasn't all that
difficult to fix per se, but it was muddy, cold, and wet lying in the ditch (half full of running water!) that the Spyder was straddling in order to give me enough room to reach underneath it - well, at least it wasn't too difficult
after I'd gone to get a suitable selection of nuts & bolts to replace those that'd been lost, but I would've thought that it's gotta take
real talent (NOT!
) to stuff up removing an OEM bar and replacing it with one of those Ultra bars, only their 'fully trained' tech managed to 'forget' to tighten just about
EVERY bloody nut on the thing, and nobody checked his work... not even the apprentice! (No, it wasn't the apprentice who did it in the first place, it was supposedly the fully trained tech - or maybe he got the cleaner to do it instead?? I'm pretty sure it couldn't have been their receptionist, she clearly knows where the nuts are meant to go
and how to tighten them properly!

)
Is your local dealer good, have competent techs, and will they even consider replacing OEM kit with A/mkt gear??
Ps: Weather wise, of late here where I am, we've been either cold and bleedin' wet, or bleedin' cold & bloody windy (btw, those
are recognised meteorological terms - much colder than 'bitterly'!

) despite the clear skies! We've had a LOT of really heavy frosts, and a seemingly endless stream of Polar Low's rolling up from the Antarctic!! Even our Tropical North has been seeing low single digit temps overnight; but here, we've been pushing a few below 0°C most nights, and barely getting much higher during the days! For now & the foreseeable future, I'm not doing any early morning rides, and if the sun doesn't make an appearance today, neither will I!
