Did anyone see this Spyder in Daytona? I left early Friday morning and did not get to see it there.

Do you happen to know where it may have placed in the show? :dontknow:

I have no idea

Has anyone heard of anyone customizing a Spyder for off-roading? Maybe not serious off-roading, but lifted and bigger/different tires, possibly conversion from belt to chain.

Having come from riding a dual-sport motorcycle for a number of years, I'd be insterested in customizing my Spyder for mild dual-sporting type use......we've got a lot of forest roads/fire roads around here......

Is that why there's the huge "not for off-road use" disclaimer? Because of the Nanny? LOL!

Most likely, cause once the rear tire starts losing traction the engine will j-brake, not to mention if you start raising the front wheels off the ground too much. The Nanny gets annoying while trying to run The Dragon hard, so I could not imagine how annoying it would be off road.

So want to pull the trigger on this project

Yes the air is all the way down in the pics it sits on the ground. Aired up at ride height it has three inches of clearance. It rides smoother then stock as it is on valves airbags. No slam intended but the stock shocks are nothing more then atv shock so it's not hard to improve the ride. It does not corner as well but we knew that when we built it. The tire contact patch is also not an issue. The stock tires are car tires much firmer then a high speed motorcycle tire. They got hot and do great. The two front tires are 200 mm that's more contact patch then the front tire on any street bike after all they are rears by application. The 360 by nature does not corner it's to flat but again in a straight line upright there is the same or more contact patch as any hayabusa or zx14 etc. I hope this helps. It is a show bike but is rideable, and ridden regulary. If your in Summerville sc come by our shop and take it for a ride. Thanx again for the inquiries. We are going to advertise on this forum next week so please consider us for any custom paint and fabrication you may need. Thanx
