need help for building a ST

[chris56]

decided to repair my RT after the rear-end-crash (not my foult)
what i want to have is a mixture between RS / RT .. my idea is

front wheels from the RSS
fender-holders from the RS
new shocks for the front (BRP RT MODELL 2011 ?)
all three tires new modell - all weather version (lot of rain here)
pump and switch for the rear shock (its not a RTS modell)
swaybar ?
lower handle-bar

has anyone some better ideas ? - or did i forget some parts to order ?
did 13.000 GS miles and 6.000 Rt miles in the last three years - still like most of the RT but ... my (biker)-friends never should wait for me

Fun project!

Wow Chris, sounds like you're designing a Super Spyder . . .
the best of all models! What a great project . . . :2thumbs::yikes::2thumbs:
You're probably gonna learn more than you ever wanted to know about the innermost workings of our machines. You already know you have the best resources available to you here on Spyderlovers.

We're eager to see and hear how it goes so keep us posted!!!

Cat :doorag:

:agree: Building a personalized machine out of what was an unfortunate incident is what sometimes almost makes up for the aggravation that was involved in the first place... Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress... we're rooting for complete success! :2thumbs:

I wonder a bit about the effects of the narrower track from the RS wheels on the taller, heavier RT, but the new shocks may offset any losses. You have already removed the deflectors and cut down your windshield, so the 2011 parts wouldn't improve anything there. I think you have things pretty well figured out. I was thinking of a hybrid, too, but the ECM and cluster from an RS on an RT was what crossed my mind.

sounds like a winner send pics when done sounds like it will be real nice
:2thumbs::clap::congrats:

 

[chris56]

would be intresting how many of the RS or RT users would change over - if BRP would offer a Spyder like that ?? ( I would !1)

Sounds like an interesting project. We will be watching with great interest.

Make sure you get turn signal switch from an RS!

no no !! I started from the other end - front-cockpit from the RT & the back of the RS

 

[Bob Denman]

I was just gonna say that...
So you're going to do it the CORRECT way! :thumbup:
This is just a matter of replacing the "Tupperware"; right?

I think your as close as anyone on the New ST, STS. But we know Yellow and silver will be in one paint scheme and It has to have at least a DOZEN More HP and I will buy it!! Maybe?

 

[chris56]

so this project is finished :clap::clap::clap:thanks to all from BRP - as you see they have open ears to their costumers ..

will be a lot of work to make something better - after the first sitdown I would say - exact what I wanted - but what colour should I take ??
(black&chrom ??)

 

[Bob Denman]

Decisions... :shocked:
I've been looking at all of those RT pics, and they did a pretty nice job of making a lot of improvements on that bike too! :thumbup:
Now if I could just get my pands on some actual specs... :gaah:
