How do you...

[Amanda B]

Okay I've got a lot of projects going on with the bike or want to...I just have some road blocks and it is rather cold so I'm trying to find the easiest way to do these before I start.

No clue on this one: How do you remove the handle bar cover?

No clue here either: How do you install the ac jack on the console area?

Lastly, how do you remove the back wheel, do you have to take the back fender off?

The 2 screws closest to the Key are 10 mm , there are 4 other 8 mm, 2 on the tips and 2 towards the middle. You will need a long, slim 1/4 inch 8 mm socket, and a short slim line 10 mm 1/4 inch sockett. Putting them back IN is no picnic :gaah:unless your adding a 2-3 inch riser?:yes::shemademe_smilie:

Outlet in the Dash

Amanda,

Take a look at the following post:

There they talk about and show pics of how it is done. I did the same thing and installed the powerlets. Works great!

I would also recommend getting the evoluzione power bus system as it will make all you electrical system upgrades easier.

Well...bummer

I think the power outlet thing might end up being a bit much for me to do, and I bought two, one to put in the trunk to just charge stuff like laptop or whatever and one for the dash. For the powerbus, I'm just not sure I'd be able to do it. Does the powerbus sit on the outside of the bike (meaning do you see it)? I feel pretty confident doing all the other stuff, just not that or my alarm system.

Sounds fun...

No risers, powder coating some things. Sounds like it is going to be a pain, but I'll get it done. Hopefully, my small hands will benefit me as they seem to have done wonders with other Can Am modifications, there are some tight spaces on this bike! I put the center tail light in without removing the undertail...just pulled the tail panel off and stuck it in there.

The Powerbus installs under the panels on the left side of your Spyder, from the battery to the trunk and underneath your dash display. When we bought the Powerbus kit's, they came with very complete instructions. They are made specifically for the Spyders and are truly "plug and play". If you're not 100% confident in installing it, maybe you have a friend who has basic handyman abilities. No special motorcycle tech knowledge is needed for the install.
