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.
A Convertible top/bimini for the Spyder?

I have a spandex "sun cover" for my RT, that attaches with 4 hooks. Folds up into a 4x6 inch bag. It has an Eagle/US flag motif, and cost about $12 - I use it everywhere, especially if I'm going to have to leave the Spyder unattended for 30 minutes or more. I've actually come up to my Spyder, and found strangers sitting on it.

Dave made up one to keep Teddy's Mohawk out of the sun...
Are looking for one to use while on the cruise?? :shocked:

You might want to look at these: http://www.cycleshade.com There are several competitors out there.
Yes, a top to block the sun while on a cruise......

May I suggest that you drive your car then instead of the Spyder.

I believe these just cover the bike seat or shield, or both while the bike is stationary....keep the sun off.

I get the feeling that is exactly what is wanted, perhaps a T Rex would work better for them

It's been too long & I don't remember. But I bought several, when I did. One for use, one for a spare, and one for my son…..

I'm not trying to be a smart ass I just do not understand why in the world you would want to put a bimini on a Spyder. If you are worrried about sun exposure cover your skin or ride on cloudy days.

Even I've got to admit that the request is a bit out of the norm for what we see in here... Dave engineered his for Teddy; perfectly reasonable to protect your best friend who can't tell you if they're having difficulties...
Putting a top on your Spyder would certainly make it unique; but also maybe more carlike than a lot of folks in here would ever want. I'm all for individuality; but if somebody doesn't quite answer what seems like a strange request to them in an expected way... :dontknow:
Back to the topic at hand...
You'll need to have some mounting bracketry for up front; maybe some verticals added to Lamonster's NBV mounts?? Creating a stay for them... :dontknow:
You wouldn't want to try and tie it in just to the Tupperware. :shocked: That would probably be a very expensive mistake. The rear mounting would be pretty easy; use the grab rails!
Ask Dave about his; he might have some insight that'll help. We'll also want to see your finished product; you might even have a marketable item??? :thumbup:

I actually totally get what AmandaB is talking about and am shocked that no one has brought one to market. A unit that could fold up and mount from the front to the back, covering the rider from rain, sun, etc.
My main thought was for rain. Covering for the sun wouldn't be my thing, but some people are really sensative to the sun.
In the rain, who really cares if it's not 'cool' or not?
Also,
To be honest, I'm actually shocked no one has come out with a plastic fairing type unit that would mount in place of the windshield and go all the back over the rider and attach to the rear too. Like a big bubble. Not saying it would be my thing, but in nasty weather or riding in the winter in Michigan---- I could see it being pretty nice.
I have a snow-cab on my snow thrower. I hope that doesn't make me not look cool....... ;-)
