• 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.

New rims, what do I need...

Tom in NM said:
The other thing I thought of was using the spray version of the those truck bed coatings. Rust-Oleum has one and there were also other brands around. Most have a flat non-skid finish - I would want to see that before I applied it. Most of these are an epoxy based 'paint' and are super tough. I think these would require a lot more care and attention in application - they are "permanent" and mistakes in masking off things and the Spyder will also be "permanent". They also apply differently than paint, practice may be called for to get a feel for how to apply them.

You have no idea! A co-worker attempted this on his truck and said the same thing about masking. He said that one needs to mask everything. I think he said he wound up putting plastic sheeting over the entire rest of the truck because he noticed when he was spraying a test area that even the smallest speck of that stuff wouldn't come off once dried.
 
Truck Liner

I bought a can of Herculiner, which is the stuff your talking about but it brushes on. I figured if I was going to do it, I'd be better off brushing than spraying it on. Now, I'm not going to use it though.

How long before your new parts arrive? I know you have to be getting anxious now.

It looks like I will have everything March 4th, so I'll get them to the guy that is doing the powder coating on March 5th and hopefully in a weeks time I can pick them up, then off to Big O that weekend to deal with the tires and rims, and then hopefully the final step of getting everything put on will be completed that weekend or the following weekend. So far, it looks like I will make the bike show but by the skin of my teeth I think! :pray:

I have Kewl Metal highway brackets and powder coated pegs coming and ordered my Ride On too!

Sounds like your plan will be coming together nicely.

Here's hoping you don't run into any stumbling blocks. :cheers:
 
Rims are here.

Rims are here. I took some pictures. I believe it came with the bearings and stuff, the paper inside was written in French but it said bearings and it came with some hardware. I took pictures and hope someone will be able to verify that it is all that was needed. Pictures of the front rims are on my profile.

Amanda... I fibbed on my PM. Those bolts/nuts appear to be those for securing the hub to the wheel. The brake rotor / hub connection only requires bolts.

As I said, you're missing all of the spacers, the bolts for the brake rotor-to-hub, the o-ring, and a number of other things which you will have to re-use from your stock set-up. As I said, it also appears you're missing one seal (don't know which side) and you really want to use new seals. I'd get the o-ring new, also, if it were me.

Use the "map" below for dis-assembly / re-assembly. The actual BRP parts website on spyderlover's front page (lower right) has the description and part number to go along with the reference numbers.

And, don't forget spacer #17 like I did on the first go-around. :D

No problem

Do you know the size of the o-ring? Is it just a regular old o-ring or is there something special about it? I have tons of those sitting around in all different sizes. I'm just wondering if I already have it.

I'm going to get a seal ordered, as soon as I figure out which one it is. Too complex for me, so I'll let a professional handle it.
Thank you for your help!

Sorry, don't know the size.
 
Yahoo....but maybe I should knock on wood

All parts are in! I am taking the parts to be powder coated in on Friday! He estimated a week or week and a half at the most. On the 17th the parts will be put on and it will likely be finished barring any hiccups! FINALLY and just in time for the weather warming up and my week off!!
 
Modifications

Sounds great. I am looking forward to seeing the pieces come together for you.

I checked out your mods and I really like the graphics! I think from this point I'm just going to start posting stuff on the mods board as it gets completed.

BTW the sprocket cover is plastic. I can't remember who was talking about getting it, but it's awful expensive for a piece of plastic, and you can't powder coat it so it is getting painted to match. I think I'm going with either gun metal or hyper black aka black chrome.

Thanks Amanda. I was also thinking of getting the sprocket cover, and appreciate the info on it being plastic. Hmmm, perhaps I will spend that money on something else instead. :D
 
It has to do with the year of the vehicle.

I was looking at the sprocket cover as well, I already have a black rear wheel but BRP lists two different part #s for the cover...one for the "older version" and one for the newer. Anyone have any idea how to differentiate between the two?

I have a 2009 and got the sprocket cover, it is a BIG PAIN to get on, but now I'm thinking it was because when they asked the year of my Spyder I told them 2009 and apparently there were two casting numbers for that year vehicle. They didn't ask me what the casting number was. The guy spent three hours just on this, because he had to modify the sprocket cover but it looks perfect. So, if you get the wrong one, you'll need a dremel and a lot of patience or you could send it back. That was not an option for me as I painted it a gun metal color to match my rims. Now, I'm looking and I was sent the sprocket for the larger sized hub, so maybe that will be a problem unless you have the smaller hub diameter. There is a chart that was in the instructions on how to figure out which one to get.

What year is your spyder?

2008 GS (look to check the casting number on your sprocket) if it is 705 500 860 you need kit p/n 219 200 .106

2009 GS (casting number) if it is 705 500 860 you need kit 219 200 106
if it is 705 501 095 you need kit 219 400 219

2010 (casting number 705 501 095) you need kit 219 400 219


The casting number I guess only really matters if you have a 2009. I hope that is what you are looking for. I could look more at the paperwork I got if needed. It matters because of the hub diameter is different. What they have on the link you posted is the CASTING NUMBER rather than the parts number.

Thank you.Yes Amanda, that's what I was trying to figure.

On my Spyder the casting # is 705 500 860 but on the website that I linked to it says this is the newer version which is opposite the info you listed from your paperwork. Now I may be a bit more confused.LOL:dontknow:

BRP at it's best.:roflblack: Sorry, that is what was on the paperwork! Maybe that was why the wrong one was sent to me??
 
I was thinking the same thing about BRP....nothing unusual there.

May I ask what casting number you have and which part # you purchased? Perhaps we can solve this puzzle.

I'll check the casting number

I'll try to check for the casting number when it gets a little lighter today. I'll also check the paperwork for what part number I received.
