• 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.

I AM A NEW SPYDER OWNER 2011 RSS

I am looking to get some glo lights on put on, does anyone know anyone in dc md area that does work on spyders?;) any advice
 
I was asked for more pic and info about both my deflector lights and my saddle bag lights. So here they are.

This first pic shows the inside of the headlight surround Tupperware. I'm pointing at the light strip that illuminates the upper left deflector.

Here is a close up of the deflector illuminated

The lower deflector has the light strip inside the cavity and a quick disconnect adapter from TricLED. Which fits nicely between the headlight surround and the main body, hidden behind the mirror.

And the lower deflector illuminated
A small part of the wire is exposed outside the bike, but is mostly hidden once the mirror gets put on. You can see the cavity I hide the adapter in in the upper part of the image

The saddlebag lights are run along the edge of the saddlebag lid.

The wire runs in the seam between the Tupperware and the black plastic on the underside of the bag. I secured the wire In place with black silicone glue. The wire then runs inside the mudflap, and connects into the brake running lights.

AWESOME job so far! i'm looking foreward to seeing what's next... :popcorn:
...And what's wrong with Disney Parades??? :shocked:
 
Parades? Nothing really. I can't stand that auto tuned music they put in most of their movies and musicals though.

As far as future lighting. I have one or two small ideas, but I think I'm pretty much done with lighting mods.
 
As hinted in another thread (and above).... Different plans for my fenders....
Red is wired to both running and brakes, so they get brighter when braking. Yellow is, of course, turn signals.
Red runs in the seam between the mudflap and the fender, under the reflector. Yellow runs only over the reflector.
As always, these awesome lights are from Reggy at TricLED.

I'm sure I've posted this before, but not in this thread. Here are my new fender lights in action.



I have also added the BumpSkid, Block off plate, NBV brackets and some Kuryakyn pegs to my list of mods.
 
Makes me feel all "Christmassy" inside..............lol, kinda like Clark Griswald?

Love those wheel lights and the underbody lighting effect......very cool!:doorag: Nice job!

Latest mods. Spyder Webs. I thought the lids of the saddle bags and trunk would be a great place for "stuff"

I was just thinking of something similar, it was a perfect spot for my Gerbings heated jacket. Great Mod!
 
Just added some new lighting in the seams to the side panels and the above the radiator panels, and figured it was time to update my overall lighting pictures.
