• 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.

The wife got me the Mud Flap for ole blue for Christmas, we got it put on.

Two thumb up for sponsor Spyderflap.com everything needed was included and instructions covered the details, including a caution about drilling through into the rear tire. It is easy to forget that as a drill breaks through the plastic it can pull the bit deep real fast..

Once again a great product, curious to see how it changes the rain being drawn up and over from the rear onto the passengers back.
 
What is the word Spyder made of ? I will order one of these but for 30 bucks more for the Spyder word ?:dontknow:
 
Nicely done..!!

always nice to have complete and accurate installation instructions with all the nessasary parts. Congrats to both..!! :2thumbs:
 
Mudflap

I put one on mine and I love it...back does not get near as dirty as it did from crap off the road...
 
Thank you all for the great feedback! We pride ourselves in delivering prompt service along with explicit instructions to make things easy.
For the gentleman that asked about what the Spyder emblem is made of, it is a molded metal casting with a polished chrome plated surface.
This emblem costs me close to the $30.00 difference as charged. It is a great looking item on the mud flap, well worth the difference in price.

Please visit SPYDERFLAP.COM for more information. Thanks again, and Happy New Year! Bob
 
Have to agree with "recordingguy" It does look really nice. Just installed mine last week. I did follow the instructions to the letter and still looked lopsided but then I realized that the trailer hitch is not symmetrical which brings the flap closer to one side than the other. (yes, I uninstalled and remeasured everything)

Once again a great product, curious to see how it changes the rain being drawn up and over from the rear onto the passengers back. I also put one on my wife's 2013RT and it looks great. The folks riding behind her love it also, they don't get as much road crap thrown at them. I painted the screws flat black so they aren't so noticable. Great Product.

If you can afford a Spyder, you can afford the extra bucks for the Spyder emblem on the flap, just saying.
 
I turned mine around...

and it's all black. I didn't get the "Spyder" emblem and I wasn't crazy about the piping so I installed it backwards. It looks real nice.

I like the idea of painting the screws flat black. I think i'll try that.
 
I didn't think I needed one until I just had a BRP hitch installed....Looks like the hitch ball is going to get all sorts of slop and rocks thrown at it..Ordered mine today!!!..(ebay gift cards..gotta love em!)...:yes:

The hitch ball (and trailer) catch a lot of crud. I don't use the silly mudflap that came with the hitch, so mine gets even more. When the trailer is not attached I just slip a hitch ball cover over the ball. They only cost a few buck in any trailer section of a big box or auto parts store.

Just wondering, does the mud flap need to be removed when changing the rear tire?
