This is my first post and I'm new to Spyderlovers. Just recently purchased a 2012 Spyder RT-S SM-5 and looking to install some accessories in the near future. However I'm not much on doing any work or maintenance on the RT myself. Dealers take you to the cleaners on pricing and labor costs for anything they do. I'm live outside the Lexington KY area and would like to find someone who would install accessories and do maintenance at a reasonable cost. I want to install a better seat with backrest, air wings, floorboards, trailer hitch etc. I'm willing to travel within a 50-75 mile radias to have such things done. Paying $ 250 for an oil change is totally out of the realm of fair pricing. Dealers are charging from $ 100 to 125 dollars an hour to work on them and I can't see paying the over pricing of accessories and it does pay to shop around. I would appreciate everyone's thoughts and idea's. I know there are manuals etc that would show how to do a lot of things, but I'm not much of one who enjoys working on them, but I do enjoy riding. So your positive imput will be appreciated.....Thanks, The Frankfort Flash
