It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009 CAN AM SPYDER GS

[tecnodog7]

Hello people,

After lurking and researching and going crazy and waiting impatiently I finally got my 2009 :spyder2:. OMG the best decision in my life. This bike rides like a dream and I just want any excuse to go out and ride. Thank you all for helping me making this decision.


I got alot of things which I might not keep with the bike so if you guys can let me know how much I can sell it for it would be nice.

I'm thinking of selling the Saddlebags. From my research it showed it cost almost 1000$ brand new. Also selling the flag holder with the flag ( mounted on the back cover by the tire it's really heavy). I also have two smaller flags which can be mounted on the turn signal. The original back cowl. It came with two HJC helmet with the Bluetooth attachment I might sell that if it doesn't fit my wife. Lastly I got the OEM windscreen with it i might keep that for the summer time not too sure right now but the rest if i can price out it would be nice. Any help appreciate.

Lastly on the right hand side behind the kill switch there is a button just like the mode button. Don't know what that does lol.
Once again WOOOOHOOOOO! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

I believe that button momentarily turns on the headlights when pressed, so you can find things in the trunk when dark out.

Looks good. The saddlebags don't have any color matching panels. That's not that big a deal if you are going to sell them. But there are 4 reflectors missing. That may be an issue.

Really 4? I guess i didn't notice when I was buying lol. I was too concerned about the bike. I see the two sides one on it but the back are there.

Ah that makes sense. Thank you

Saddle bags reflectors

There are 4 reflectors. 2 side, and 2 on the back that are held in by the color matching panels.
You are going to need a couple of replacement bits if you sell the whole hardware set with the bags.

I just bought and installed a set of bags from a forum member. Time to update my avatar.
The bags were new with all the mounting hardware and Can Am instructions - for $600.
The best installation instructions can be found online by Lamont.
Also you can search for a very good write up on this site for installing the bags.

Cheers, David C.

Thank you for the information. I guess i'll need to hit up ebay to make sure I have the replacement bits and then post it online.

Welcome welcome....

To both the spyder world and this always active site. Great choice....:2thumbs: check the for sale forum there may be some prices there or on other sites.
That button is to flash the headlights and with the frunk lid open will reflect to the interior....:thumbup:

Good one.

I, a while back got a 2009 (red). Had the choice of exactly your colour but went for the cheaper one because I didn't know if I would like it. Yes I do now!

Why would you want to get rid of the saddle bags? Storage is always good. Beer and spirits in the Frunk and clothes in the side.

I saw a lot of red color ones but this one fit my budget and I really liked the silver and black color. Also as far as selling the saddle bags it doesn't look so sporty / sexy with it but now the more I think about it it's growing on me! I might just keep it.

Congratulations. Now you'll have to ride it up to spyderquest in lake george

 

[PistonBlown]

May be worth keeping them as the panniers unclip so you can leave them off for normal riding and just stick them on when you need them. In my case I have them to carry an extra 20 litres of gas (two 5 litre cans on each side) petrol stations can be far apart on some of the routes I take.

Anyway congrat's on your new Spyder and have fun.
