• 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 to the Spyder..

NexVision

New member
So picked up my "08" Spyder GS on 7/27/13. A couple days later dropped it off with Reggy at Tricled and got some mods done..

Automatic Trunk Release
Dynamic driving LED's with dimmer switch
DRL - Daytime running LED's on top and lower suspension arm
DRL - Front Spoiler custom DR
Tricrings in white - Gen 3 continuous white ring
Phone mount - Clutch base plate with, 2" arm and x-grip
12V plug - Mounted on dash
Tricfenderz in white and red with white tip LED replacement
Fuse box FZ - 30amp load with switched relay
Cruise control - 16oz heavy black milled
Side heat management
lower air scoop
Side foam air dam for radiator
Cup holder - mounted on handlebar
Foam handle bar grips
Shock relocator kit
HMF slip on pipe

Picked it up and she was looking oh so beautiful just still wasn't completely right for my likings so after alottttttttttttttttt of browsing and research added a couple more things.

BajaRon Sway Bar
K&N Filter
Juice Box Pro

Now she is dialed in so nice and sweet and runs like a dream :yes::yes: only problem is it is a GS so for long trips I have very minimal storage so I added..

Nelson Rigg tank bag
BRP rear seat bag
both for use only on trips which I am taking my first long one on Thursday heading to Barber.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the info that is shared it helped alot the only problem I ran into is the damn juice box instructions having the injectors mixed up other then that all was very smooth installation especially for me since Reggy did the bulk of it... :doorag:

Looks great. Reggy is an awesome guy isn't he? Have a great time on your trip to Barber. I would very much like to take a ride on the track there it looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks. I tried to stay simple with the lights and not go to much I want to be seen while on the road but don't care to attract that much attention. May end up adding HID's and fog lights on to if I can find a good deal on em.
 
Wow..!!

some mods..thats over the top..it looks awesome but you better ryde before you think of more mods and miss the ryding season..!! :roflblack:
 
Coincidentally.....................several news outlets in NexVision's riding area are documenting multiple night time reports, by distressed citizens and law enforcement agencies, of low flying :spyder2: UFOs. ;)

Nicely done.........................that's certainly jumping on a project with both feet (and wallet!). :thumbup:
 
Great looking spyder

NexVision, your spyder came out great:doorag:.. Enjoy the ride with Reggy, Hector, and the rest of the SoFlo group. I missed the ride cause have to fly on Sunday :banghead:.. You will have a great time!!
BTW, I got a picture of your spyder next to my streetfighter.

Yup and they all look very good next to each other in there. Hopefully im not without it again for it to be there again without me.. I can definitely say I did not expect to like the Spyder as much as I am thought I would heavily miss the leaning and all which is involved with a 2 wheeled bike. As I have noticed though the more I ride it the more I like it and enjoy it.
 
Rs/GS Cruise Control?

What's this cruise control add-on like? Who makes it? How does it operate and do you like it?

I keep losing feeling in my right hand while riding I seem to be gripping the throttle too hard all the time on my RS.... :dontknow:

Thanks!

The cruise control add-on is a machined end cap basically. I'm still getting used to it. It has been a life saver so far though keeps my hand from cramping up. Not sure where Reggy got it from but I will check with him and reply again once I know.

This is the one I have http://www.compacc.com/p/Throttlemeister-Cruise-Control-Can-Am-Spyder-2008 again not sure where he got it from but the black with silver cut outs is the one I have.
