Now, can you remove the other panel so we can see how its connected to the fill cap? I'm wondering if you're using flexible fuel line? Now was that "elbow" on the original filler hole just siliconed in? Or did you thread that plastic elbow to screw on to it? One more, what about venting? The original gas cap is a vented..what about your setup?

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.

here is a much more simple way to get the same thing I have almost 6k on this setup and it works fine for a pay at the pump I have to back up at an angle to get the card in because of reach and balance issues but yeah, just cut the plastic behind the seat. the top of the seat shows a little rip but that is the price you pay for a non handicrapp gas cap setup.
forgot to add this cost nothing to do, just cut the seat when it was up with a "something" covering the bike can use side cutter of some sort.

Great, a section for us Handicapped (nothing wrong with that term). I have a wheelchair rack welded onto a tow bar and a hand brake, all courtesy of Jimmy Mels Monster Garage in Roseville MI. 586.822.9815:2thumbs:

What I have found on the brakes on the Spyder is you do not get full stopping power from the first push of the pedal. Magic Man has been doing some testing on that too. If you pump it once the pedal comes up higher than the first pump. Not sure why that is.
If I'm going to use my hand brake only I give myself a little extra room to stop and I pump it twice. I still have it in the back on my head that cables break and I hope that ISCI will have their hydraulic system done soon because that will be the hot setup. :thumbup:

thanks for the info, can' really use the footbrake so the comparision is hard, It does happen where the handle will go to the bar and when "aggressive" riding thru the corners I may not have time to pump this, with the limit on how much I can put into corning without worring about some damn deer in the road on the other side of the apex.
Frustrating because if I need I had a positive lock on the braking I could get more out of the spyder, also sucks being behind a rider thru the twists and they stall up or go in and slow to have to dick up your line and brake with a pump, that is at least 10 ft traveled in the time I need to get a good grab on the brakes.
I am getting new pads for the thing ordered today, do you have to get them from a dealer or is there a place on the net to get them? see if that helps,
The parking brake is also ass, I am sure that everyone in this section knows, taking your wheelchair off and then damn thing starts rolling, POS design.

Seth, put a handle on top of the e brake and push down to put em on before you get off your ride... My ride is almost done, will put pics when done.. I used the lamont style brakes with some minor design change.. I can smoke my tires on the spot, my brakes work perty darn good..
and slow down Setho........ he he he..
I did some research on putting a fill cap on the outside as how jumper did it.
The fill cap that Jumper used is commonly used in the boating industry. It's called a "Deck Fill". The specs are the outside ID of the fill cap is 3" and the tubing size to connect to the the original filler neck is 1.5".
You can either use an ABS 90 deg. elbow and silicone in the fittings OR (this is what I'm planning to use) Silicon Tubing (commonly used on cars for intercoolers or radiator connections) Since it's plyable, you can just hose clamp on the connection to the original fill neck and get a good seal.
You would need this:
-90 degree or a 45 deg "vent" elbow to go from the original fill neck 1.5" of the deck fill.
-Deck fill cap
-1.5 Silicon hose to go from the elbow reducer to your new filler cap.
-good quality hose clamps for silicone to get a good seal.

I will slow down when I get better or I can't move anymore, and I can engage the parking brake it just doesn't do **** but make noise, I adjusted the the cable can you adjust more to get the rear caliper to really do something?
got the third rear tire on today and the rear fender is coming off, F that thing.

Yes. At the rear brake, remove the nut that holds swiveling arm of the parking brake. Rotate the arm a few notches and then replace the nut.

Hey Billy,
How about making that filler neck for us?
This ABS plastic doesnt quite do it...not enough clearance, specifically where the elbow sits....something that can screw into the original hole and the pipe/neck have slip joints so we can adjust the angles...I'd say 2 to 3 sections...
