Hi all this is my first post on this forum . It was -39c in Tofield Alberta this
morning.So i thought I might share some mod,s I did to my yellow SM5
which Igot june 15/08. the first thing I did was remove all factory graphics
painted calipers red VHT paint
painted-flat black inserts on hood all side panels topcover rear fender
installed L pipe and yashimura muffler with crome downdraft tip
Got MM garage wind shield which is a great shield but to narow so I made
wind wings from lexan,they work,and look great.at this time I allso made
lexan headlight covers (dark tint) gives the :spyder:avery sinister look
I also put red plastic screening behind every opening gives a great contast
then I modified and cut down a 1966 chevy nova aluminum grill to insert
under the nose,also VHT red
theseat was cut down and recoverd in a VW basketweave material
I never liked the tail light so I made one out of a crome skull cup holder
very cool the eyes light up
I did a ramair system from the right cooling scoop to air box-works great
then I made some rear grab rail covers out of an old leather steeringwheel
cover,cut into8" lengths
my last project is a sound system.I bought a JVC am/fm/dvd radio with
external mp3 plug-this unit is mounted against the back wall of the trunk
with velcro straps -the speakers are modified fog lamps(4") atatched
to the miror stems-painted trim black
THe problem was how to control the unit from the left handlebar
the solution was A 6' fiberoptic cable runing from the remote into the trunk
I hope I haven,t bored anyone, I have customized a lot of bikes but the
spyder is a real challenge Im going to try to send a picture hope it works
