• 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.

Ideas to dress up the RT Rear End

I had mine painted and the paint shop said it just needs to be sanded then cleaned with a chemical to remove the antyadhesive oil used in the mold when manufactured. Mine was done 2 years ago and no sign of peeling or any problems and I think it looks a lot better. Had dash painted also.

That is what I had in mind. Did they paint it on the Spyder or was it disassembled. I really, like the looks of your machine. Did you also paint the lower part on the side or is that an extension of your floorboards I see in the photo?

Did you consider painting the top/side case latch area?

At the last Spyderfest 'R; diamond had a new thing they were selling. It was a the black panel from the back of an RT painted to the color of your sypder and with a couple of LED light strips also. I would check on the main page here for there wed site.

Diamond R only offer 11 items for the Spyder and none of them is a back panel for an RT.

Thanks anyway. Could it have been another vendor?

That at is pretty sexy!
 
I removed the rear fender which is very easy, The lower panel is part of the vertika floor boards but I figure that lower panel could also be painted, I had the dash painted but did not figure in painting anything else.Removing the parts is very easy to do and makes the job easier for the paint shop,
 
I think BRP got some ideas for there new front fenders from the vertika fenders, but I had the white/red strip lites by Reggie installed on mine and someday hope to change rides to the newer engine and tranny so am not going to do any more farkeling.
 
Dress Up RT Backend

Consider the LED American flag available through SquaredAway/ It is about 3" x 5" and looks great.

Your RT looks sharp. I'm considering getting my rear fender painted. Could you tell me what is involved in taking the rear fender off?
 
Some great ideas on here.
I would add, all kinds of LED strip set ups/design your own. Extra brake light, Tricled and other SL sponsors.
Flags, ICSC and Rivco have flag mounts for 9x11 and 11x14 (I think) flags, Parades special occassions, add a mount for a 3 foot by 5 foot Flag .
Have fun.

Good looking Spyder!!!! Love the floor boards!!!!!!
 
Hi COHOFF;
I do not recall exactly but the fender is just attached by a few screws and came off real easy and remove the licence plate lite. My memory isnt what it once was now 76, but I do remember it was an easy job but it was 2 years ago that I did it .
