Desert Spyder
New member
I have an 10 RT SE5 with almost 48000 mi. I have 2 yrs 8 mos before the bike is paid off and I am 63. I would love to trade it in for a newer model but I'm hesitant to do so. Sheffield says I owe too much to trade across. The bike is still reliable as far as a Spyder goes. I need front shocks which will run 700+ and I haven't done the second shim insp yet which is another grand+. I plan to go on a 1500 mi trip to SITR in August. My question is we don't know the longevity of the human body but do we know the longevity of the Spyder? I do keep up on the oil change faithfully. I am sure there are many others out there in the same boat. Thanks.
