Does anyone know if they make a cover for the spyder? Would love to get one for overnight coverage.

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.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet a snowmobile cover would work for the Spyder. That is, of course, unless you insist on a perfect fit.

I have the inside cover. The material is light, washable, and folds up small enough to fit in the trunk in a small bag provided with cover. Nice feature is that it is "shaped" to hug the back fender, in front around the side mirrors, and down to the side front wheels, and over the trunk and down. The elastic edge secures very nice and easy to deal with. Even though Spyder is garage kept, it keeps the cat off my seat cover and is a snap to remove and cover. It also has Spyder logo front and back so easy to know which goes where. Pricey but worth it for me.
But will the cover fit with the backrest installed? Most factory covers don't fit once you install a backrest on a bike. I know most have not yet received the backrest, so it may be a question that can't be answered. I'd hate to have to remove the backrest every night to put on the cover.

I have the outdoor cover from BRP, it was $149.99 plus 10% dealer discount. I use it at work every night to cover my spyder. It even fits with the F1 windshield. It has a cloth piece where the windshield goes. It has a slit that you can open to fit with the backrest as well. When I take it off, I roll it up and bungie cord it tight and it packs up fairly nice. It keeps my Spyder covered, keeps the dew off my seat and just protects it overall. It was a good investment as far as I'm concerned. I tried a generic cover first and it just didn't fit at all. This BRP cover is made for the shape and size of the spyder. I looked at snowmobile covers as well, I just didn't really think they would fit as nicely as I wanted. So all in all I am very happy with my cover from BRP.

I ordered the inside cover, but it won't be here until the Spyder is 
I ordered the backrest as well...I DO hope that I will be able to use it. The backrest is easily removable, so I suppose the worst thing is that I'll have to remove it when I cover the baby for the night.
Also anyone know if there is any problem covering the exhaust if it is still hot?

I also have the outdoor cover and was very impressed with the fit and features of this product. Well worth the 150 bucks. I am looking into a larger windshield and was afraid my cover wouldn't fit anymore. I'm very glad to hear it will still work with an F1, 'cause that's probably what I'll get.
Excellent! :bigthumbsup:

P.S. I have to wait 1 to 1 1/2 hours before the exhaust pipe has cooled off enough to put the cover on.

Yup it does have a heat shield at the exhaust. The stock pipe got hotter than my Hindle does. Sometimes with the stock pipe I would cover everything and tuck the cover up on passenger foot peg to cool for just a short time. With the Hindle, I cover immediately and have not had any problems or burn marks so far. I hope that helps.

I tried this at first, but it was a bit of a struggle, and didn't hold itself closed. I have been using a camping stuffsack, instead. I think this one is 7x16, by Outdoor Research. It is simple to stuff the outdoor cover into, and makes a nice, compact package, that can be stored on a shelf, or carried in the trunk.ld271 said:

To the best of my knowledge, it is for storage only, not transport. I haven't used dltang's cover but I have looked at it a bit. I'm not sure I would trust it on an open trailer unless you were only going at slower speeds. It may hold up just fine but I would want more assurances from BRP or proof that it has been designed for open trailering before using it that way.
