• 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.

I like the Spyder and and want to get one. The closest dealer here in Jacksonville, Florida wants $21,400 OTD (out the door) for a 2009 Silver Spyder in the crate with these upgrades I would buy......phantom package upgrade, upgraded wheels, non HID fog lights, upgraded muffler, and upgraded windshield. It can be ready in two days to drive which is appealing to me. It that a fair price??????? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.:dontknow:
 
I bought my silver spyder in Jacksonville with sport rack and touring windshield out the door for 16,000. I don't know what the extras you are buying cost but that sounds high to me.
 
SPYDER MODS

Take your time with the upgrades. There are so many choices on the mods and more on the way.I would just get the machine first. Just my opinion. Save alot of money without mods. That is how I did it. Now I have an amazing amount of work being done over the winter. Including paint. Good luck.

Where in Jacksonville? Maybe that's where I need to go! I don't mind the dealer doing the mods since I only like the phantom upgrade as opposed to the yellow, red or silver. I'm currently riding a HD Ultra Classic and I just don't feel safe on it although it's got a really good center of gravity. I feel that if I had to make a life saving manuever on it I'd crash.

I just joined the forum an hour ago so I'll see what if I can figure out how to pm Pitmon. Thanks a bunch guys!!

I hear that Ride Now in Ocala is a good dealer to look at, not local but not that far from you.

I paid $15,400 in Ft. Myers when I bought my SM5.

My suggestion would be to call around and get some pricing from other Florida dealers, then you'll know exactly where you stand.

What year is yours? Ocala is not that far from here for a good price. I'll definitely call around but I sure think forum members won't take the two or so hours I spend at the dealer today to get me a number.:thumbup::thumbup:

That's an incredible price. Help me find that a little closer. I have vacation property up in PA so GO STEELERS!! That was an awesome game even if you didn't like the teams playing. I thought I was going to have a stroke.:clap:
 
Didn't the 2009 Spyder go up in price by about $1500? I paid over 20 including tax, lic, setup & delivery, touring windshield, and backrest on my SE5 at a time when there was not much negotiating. I think the original letter is getting a decent deal.

The dealer only charged me $1300 for the $3340 accessory upgrade - which was his dealer cost.

He is a large volume dealer and I am a multiple repeat customer - so I am sure this played a role - sometimes loyalty does pay in life! :2thumbs:
