I am the proud owner of a Spyder :spyder2: purchased about 5 weeks ago. Thus far I have added flat black Corbin bags, front and rear spider pegs from Kuryakyn, ISO grips and throttle body also from Kuryakyn along with the Spider front windshield emblem. I have the touring windshield from Can Am. I added the caliber covers, rear seat cowling, and have the axle covers on order.
I have a riser block sitting at the dealer waiting to be installed, but I would like to get my handle bar risers and emblems put on while they install the riser block so it is on hold at the moment.
Everything has gone great thus far. The rear seat cowling just attaches with some little rubber bungees which is stupid. Everyone wants to try to "open" the cowling and have torn the rubber knobs off of the bungees. Design flaw in my opinion. Any idea on a better installation that would prevent this?
I have a paint scheme picked out (my husband is an airbrush artist airbrushguy.com so it is a must that everything we own be painted) and hope to have it started before our local Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in late September. I doubt the artwork is done by then, but it should at least be a new color. :2excited:
I plan to load some photos in the near future (have to take some first). I look forward to getting to know you all and share some creative modifications.

Update:
Since this post I have added 3" handlebar risers which have been painted flat black and added the chrome emblems. I have also gotten a cup holder large enough to hold my favorite Route 44 from Sonic! My axle covers finally showed up too. I just ordered a rear tail light and LED light kit. Some of the plastic has been removed and painted flat black. The artwork is going to have to be a work in progress due to all the upcoming rides. We are trying to paint a couple of pieces per day and place them back on so that I can keep riding until we have all the scheme worked out.
If you are interested in seeing the photos, I have uploaded a set to Flickr. Check them out here.
