Just updated the initial list at the top of this thread. Next mod will probably be the Kewlmetal air box swap out followed by adding the hand brake. I just need to find some more cash.

 

[Bob Denman]

If you manage to find any more cash; tell us about it! :roflblack: I'm sure that most of us would like to dip from that well also!
YOur bike is looking SWEET! :clap:

How did you modify the gps location to the dash? Can you describe or show a pic? I have mine (RAM mount) where the limited has its mount, but would like to move to dash where more easily seen. Thanks

Yep, That's the process I followed. There is just enough slack in the wire harness going to the GPS to make it fit. I found it fairly easy to do after you cut all the wire ties off.

Love the Limiteds! Time for me to trade up!

 

[Bob Ledford]

Two more things you could do

There two more things. You could do!

Reflective pin striping

Paint the back section Pearl White

See how I did mine at www.wa4idi.org under Spyder

I like your idea on the Yeasu radio what antenna did you settle on?

 

[Chupaca]

Bob I love your paint job on the back end. Looks very good. I may have to consider something like that. Was it done by an auto body shop? What type of paint was used?

The antenna I setteled on is a Diamond NR-73BNMO. It's half wave on 2 m and collinear on 440 and doesn't need a ground plane. I used the Diamond HRKS adhesive backed mount. I trimmed it down in size and used the 3M activator to help it stay stuck to the Spyder with a smaller surface area. So far ~500 miles and it isn't coming loose yet.

Had to update my list on post #1 again. :roflblack: Added Elka Stage 1+Rs and PitBull shock relocators yesterday. :yes: I guess I'll never be done with the farkles. :dontknow:

Digital Voltmeter Info request

DR Buck,

I love your install. I looked for a good looking dig VM but couldn't find one. I'd like to duplicate your install when I get my RT-S in a couple months.

What's the manufacturer and model number of your digital voltmeter and who did you purchase it from?
