Puttin stuff on the spYder!!!!!

[hotglue]

I was offshore working for 6 weeks..... and FB was taking care of things here at the house... and working my tobacco patch.... pickin ripe leaves.. hangin them in the barn to cure and age.... killin horn worms ... and doing her best to take care of things while I was gone..... son now she sez " I owe her bigtime" .....LOL....
She ordered a BUNCH of stuff online while I was gone: SpYder pegs, Triple play, Tips, Brightsides, Mudflap lights,sYderweb over the radiator vent.... and everything Spyderpops has..rock guard, radiator vent control and air intake under the bike.......
Have been installing stuff the past 3 days!!!!!!!
Working offshore on a ROV boat..... and working at depths to 10,000 ft deep.... I know what it takes to make a weather tight electrical connection.... Had all the goodies hooked up and running..... all electrical connections are soldered and potted...... that is to say.... if the spYder ever makes it to 10,000 ft under the ocean.... chances are REAL good it will not short out...LOL
Hooked up the mudflap lights back to the triple play, and now have running, turn, and brake lights on the mudflap lights....
The spYder looks like a Christmas tree going down the road..... and that is in the day time......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:2thumbs: I told FB..." I think we are even" :clap:

Welcome back to the real world.

I only lack 13 states going to the lower 48 states......... for the 3rd time..... and this trip will cut down on that count.......FB is lookin forward to adding some states on the spyder.....I think she is up to 7 now...... and by the time we get back she will get ta add another 8 or so!!!!! She LOVES her SpYder!!!!!!!! while I was working, she took off solo and road to Miss. and up the Natchez Trace to Tenn... then back home..2500 mile weekend ride!!!!!!!!!.......I don't think I will be able to keep her home now!!!!!!!

:roflblack: You are right, we don't want to see you working on it. We want to see the finished product.

It all went acording to plan......until I was making final adjustment to the spyder pegs from kyuyaken (sp) and one of the crap pot metal bollts that hold the peg on twisted off..... I've wrenched enough to know it shouldn't had broken... but it did..... got the remnants of the bolt out, and replaced both with stainless bollts.... really it was probably a good thing..... hate for FB to be depending on the crummy bolts to hold while riding down the road......that was the only time tools flew......other than that it was "G" rated...:2thumbs:

[hotglue]

Ohhhh Nooooo,,,,:shemademe_smilie:,, don't let FB see that!!!!!!!!:gaah:

The spYder is so visible now from the back, even in the daytime...... I think the next lights will be fog lights up front. When FB is behind me, I can't see her front lights unless she has the hi beam on.

:2thumbs:

That is looking very good. Too bad you can't make the BBQ, as we could put on one heck of a light show there.

You may want to try to keep FB away from the computer for a while, while you take a look at my thread as well, as it may give her even more ideas. :shocked:

Mine has been on for about 10 months now. No lifting, peeling, fading, or any other problems with it at all. I believe the quality of the paper is going to make all the difference in the world, and Peter at Spyder Detailing using very high quality paper for the wraps.

I usually use Original Bike Spirits to clean it. When washing I use Eagle 1 Nano Wash and Wax. I have also used Pledge Multisurface, Eagle 1 Nano Wax, and Turtle Wax Ice on it before. There have been no negative impacts from any of these cleaning products.

If you get a wrap, you will have to let us know which one you are getting and, of course, post pictures of it once you have it installed.

My wife has the American Flag wrap on hers. :thumbup:
