I was kinda reluctant to post this because I don't want to Be responsible for anybody's spyder but mine but...Please read and possibly use the gadget at your discretion.
I decided to post because paying $169 for this would be way worse than $10 spring for frunk.
I had no problem tapping into ambient temperature, I mean it's just tricking spyder to think its colder than it really is but others may not feel that way.
Does it work? Very very well. I had power commander and this little thing before and I prefer this but wasn't going to pay $169...
Do I burn more fuel? YES but mostly because it's more fun to twist the throttle with it.
I can always turn it down on the fly, like when I am cruising on freeway.

I did buy one of these when it was 69 bucks (still way too much for couple of resistors and a attenuator) and it worked well except that attenuator was so small that I had to stop to adjust. It was given away when I thought spyder was no more, now they want $169 for it!!!
I looked for way to make this but I don't Know much about electronic components.
With help from pep boys mechanic, local electronic shop and a retired electronic engineer referred by the shop, it turns out all I needed was $3 adjustable resistor...
I tried 1000 ohm first but that wasn't enough but 5000 ohm did the trick.
Oh, I splurged and got a small enclosure for it too for $2.50.
I do need a new muffler thou...
While "testing" muffler began to make funny noise. I looked down and rivets were popping out and whole cylinder was loose. This two bros single does have 20000 miles so time to open my wallet for Yoshimura, I guess
