Well now you have me wondering if your going all out with a HUD..

Flagpole

Decided to mount a flag pole on the Hitch...
Items used
#1 1" pvc conduit
#2 5/8" Conduit
#3 1/2" wedge Anchor + 1 extra nut washer
#4 Electrical Tape
#5 3" piece of 3/8 refrigerant insulation

I inserted the wedge anchor into the 5/8 conduit and tightened the jamb nut. I then used the electrical tape and wrapped around the conduit to build a shoulder every 18". {10-12 wraps}. I then inserted the 5/8 conduit into the 1" pvc, using a rubber mallet since the fit was getting more restrictive as the shoulders were entering. I then placed the 3/8 insulation over the pvc and slid it to a place where a bungie could wrapped above it and would have downforce all the time. The bungie is hooked to the rear splashguard. I remove the ball from the hitch and use the extra nut and washer to fasten. Today was the 1st test ride. With the flag attached but rolled around the mast and tied in place. 80mph on the hwy N/P.. Flag unfurled and running 55mph N/P. We did a 30 mile escort for a marine who KIA 17 days before his tour was over..ray: 's for the family. I'll post better pics in my albums..

Gettin bored

I don't know about everyone else, but I give up on trying to keep the black looking good:banghead:. Decided to take it to the next level and paint the pieces. Rattle Cans 800grit & good ole fashion Texas Sunlight..great for curing... I tried the mudflaps last week to see how they would cure and hold out.:thumbup:. Spydettte decided since we were taking it back down to the bare-bones, we should install some rear speakers as well. It was easier taking all the parts off to paint, than it was to disassemble the speaker compartment. Their was close to a cup of screws in each box

40# diet

Tired of hauling around extra weight. I took off the stock muffler. I cut off the tip of a roadking exhaust and attached to the Cat's. You can hear it but not see it. 200 miles no codes no backfires and just a wee-bit more volume on the radio. Really cleaned up the side and rearview of the Spyder. No more big bazooka hanging there interfering with the led lumination out from under the sidebox.

Nasty BRP Black

I Could never keep the black clean so I decided to paint all the pieces..Washed all the parts in hot water and a good degreaser. "Rattle-Can" Rustoleum Primer, Gloss-White,800grit wet paper, & good ole fashion sunlight. 2 coats primer and 4 coats of final color. Wet sanded between each coat. 3 days and nothing but free time. .

Another Pipe

I had to change yhe exhaust from the 1st application. We had enough backdraft to allow the exhaust fumes to be present. I took an old set of Harley rear cyclinder drag pipes and fabbed them to work on the Spyder. No exhaust fumes, no backfire, just a bit noisy. Ordered a baffle for the drag pipe. Now I get to create a new tip.:clap:..

We use them for parking lights when we're at the local Bike Nightshyea:. We have ran them on occasions in the city at night, so far no problems:clap:. They are toggled so quick shut off is possible. To be honest, I'm more worried about the HID lights getting me pulled over. They are extremely bright. To the point that oncoming traffic in the subdivision has almost come to a complete stop till I pass.:thumbup:.

If your HID lights are adjusted right they should not bother oncoming drivers unless you have them on high.

I actually have them dropped in elevation just a bit. It only occurs when we ride 2 up. I keep the rear shock set ata softer setting. About 30 psi. If I want a hard firm ride, I'll jump on my bobber..
