• 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.

Anyone seen this Spyder Canopy before?

Nope, and I really don't like it, it takes away from the whole intent to drive a spyder, but I guess, it's his bike, and he can mod it anyway he likes....
 
I saw one similar at the Hot Springs rally last year. The owner said it was for sale. I told him I was not interested. And no, I did not ask how much.
 
This isn't my taste either, but if someone feels this helps keep them ridin', more power to them.
 
I was following a couple that was riding to Alaska. They took a picture of a Gold Wing that looked very similar. They had a solar charger mounted on it and powered a small fridge. That wing was really loaded down.
 
I saw something similar to this last year while attending LaMonsters rally in Springfield, MO. Looked like a DIY project though?
BIG F
 
If you have one don't go riding when its windy. It will be an exciting ride! I've seen a few Goldwings with a cover but they live in Texas or New Mexico or Arizona and have them for shade rather than rain.

You'll find something similar in Europe but with the top attached to the front rather than the rear.

The last one I caught on Facebook late last year. It's a home made one-of-a-kind thing. But - As I said if it's windy the ride is gonna be extra fun!

I’m just taking a stab at this but if you look at the picture there’s 2 round suction or discs on the windshield. (Circled in yellow) there looks like an arm that swings down and latches over disc. (Circled in blue) To me the canopy needs to hinge back, to allow rider to swing foot over seat and sit or head would hit the top. So sort of like a cockpit on a fighter jet. It hinges up and once in pull back down, latch and drive. To me it’s a sun screen nothing else. Click n my picture to enlarge the colors and circles.

When I feel the need for a canopy, I put the Spyder in the garage and ride one of my cars. After adding a canopy, what's next, adding doors on the side? Maybe adding a fourth wheel and a steering wheel inside of handlebars. Sort of defeats the whole reason I ride my Spyder.
