Cover for Spyder

[NancysToy]

I would never cover a vehicle while transporting it in the open. The wind will whip the cover and beat the heck out of the paint. I have known guys that found their covered cars rubbed down to the bare metal in spots that way. Better to risk the elements.

I'm wondering if yuu couldn't take a trike cover and just reverse it for the Spyder ? WhenI get my Spyder, I'll order one and see if it works

BPR has an indoor and out door cover for the spyder.

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.

I used my outdoor cover when I transported it to Napa. They have just two tab to hold it down. I took it to a guy who makes boat covers. I added 6 new tabs two in the front, side and rear. Also I put a cotton flannel blanket over it, I have a custom paint job and with the blanket on first no rub marks. Hope this will help.

The flannel blanket was a great idea. The extra tabs seem absolutely necessary. Still wouldn't to do it too often, or across the country, this way. Thanks for the wisdom.

After finding out the cost to modify my trailer, add the ramp, and get a cover for it, I think I'll be happier with an enclosed cargo trailer, the one I'm looking at is big enough for the Spyder, my toolboxes, generator and compressor, plus I can set it up with an RV AC unit and camp in it on the road, for a lot less than a toy hauler.

We bought an R&R all aluminum trailer for the vintage bikes, 7x12 V-nosed, extra tall. Similar to the Featherlight deluxe. I made up screens , a privacy curtain, and an awning for the ramp door, and we camp in it. Porta-john goes in the nose, and cots on each side. With a canopy outside for the cook table, it beats our tent all to pieces. Very quiet, too. I fit the Spyder in there this week, and installed additional, remavable chocks for it. I think I can still squeeze in two more bikes, so your gear would easily make it, depending on how you distribute the weight. First trip with the Spyder this weekend. Should go just fine.
