I bought a new spyder RSS SE5 three weeks ago (my first "motorcycle" and I LOVE IT!)
For the record "Can-Am Red" IS NOT RED! ITS ORANGE!
I Thought someone might like to hear some of the adventures that I have come across with the new Spyder RSS
my other half and I own an auto repair / motorcycle repair shop in Knoxville, TN and we are a two brothers dealer, so we ordered in a juice box and dual carbon fiber black exhaust. Two brothers told us the part numbers were the same as the 2013 and it would work on the new ones.
Turns out...not so much
juice box doesn't work, the connectors for the injectors are different and the programing may be different so we sent that back and have been trying to see when they will get around to releasing a new one
the exhaust however DOES work. I couldn't wait to put it on, so we installed it in our home garage last night and boy does it sound great.
Oh and KN has an air filter and it fits just fine as well in the new models.
We bought a windshield from Cee Bailey's Aircraft Plastics. It was made for a 2013, but they verified it would fit on the 2014 before they mailed it to us. Looks good!
Next mods to come are some skid plates, sway bars, new custom paint job, LED kits, some fun brake lights that the harley in the background has (bought the bike from a TN FBI agent and the brake lights are like red strobing police lights, they are AMAZING), and then some JBL Audio speakers and head unit.
Some of the mods will have to wait till winter, I'm riding this thing everyday and I dont want to be without my new toy for a few days =(
Anyone find anything else out about mods on the new RSS? Please share! I would love to hear some other peoples adventures.
