That looks simply horrible compared to the one on the top of this thread...what is it, a lunchbox for a pet? I emailed the guy listed above but haven't heard back....:shocked:
Here in SW Florida and those soon to be Blazing Hot Summers up north, that small black carrier might have an "Oven Effect" :yikes: on your little furry buddy .
Ours is totally open with lots of air flow all around. Kim made a light colored, (Sunbrella), removable sun/rain cover to make it a doggie convertible when conditions permit.
We also added a back rest to the carrier for Kim's comfort factor...
Oh..don't forget the Doggles. Shaba didn't like them at first but now doesn't object wearing them at all. We decided she finally realized that she can stick her snout out in the breeze and not get the dreaded (CDE), that would be "Canine Dry Eye" :roflblack: .. Len
I don't think your guy exists anymore...doesn't answer emails and his phone number is disconnected...
There alive and well we juet talked to them last week 4/6/11, You need to send them a private message. Good luck CJ
I've been using a Beast Rider Carrier for about six years and love it. Three point harness keeps your pet from getting tossed around on those sudden moves we sometimes have to make and it is both comfortable and almost indestructible. Drawback is the expense but I think it is worth it in the long run. http://www.beastriders.com+1 I'm still searching for something to carry my Shih Tzu / Bichon Frise mix.
AWESOME PET CARRIER !! I like the design well thought out:thumbup:
Not sure whats up with you guys getting a hold of bob but if you give the guy a day or so I'm sure you will get a reply. I have emailed and gotten a response but I can't get the RT to Florida so I think I will be SOL unless someone else is in Florida and can let me know when they are getting theirs done on an RT so he can make two. As far as price goes from what Len has told me its reasonable (not cheap but not a fortune) for such a well thought out product and is less than the beast rider by a good bit.
However as I said Bob will need your bike unless we can get sort of a group buy together and somehow get him an RS and an RT to do the fitting on.
Yes...I would need it done for a RS with a comfort seat...would be impossible for me to get to florida as I live in MD...however, if he's already made one for someone down there with a similar setup, it shouldn't be that hard.
Also, it likely doesn't matter what seat someone has (on the RS) if it straps in and is pliable on the bottom (the cage, that is)...
He to my knowledge has never done one on the RS, and is not in the business of cranking out dog carriers for the spyder community therefor everything is custom made and "one of"...
He has done Len's on an RT however he would still need another RT as there were no plans to necessarily reproduce this project.
Maybe Len/Kim could possibly be monetarily persuaded... Pretty, Pretty, Please...to lend Bob Kim's RT to make a few carriers and then Kim could maybe add the backrests and covers at a reasonable profit???
I'm sure something could be made for the RS however it will likely be more costly simply due to the increased materials needed as the RT version uses the bike itself for most of the containment and there is no bottom, your furry friend sits on the seat all nice and comfortable like... at least my cat thinks the back seat of the spyder is comfy as he sleeps on it in the garage all day, the dog can't get up there by herself so the cat has decided it is his spot...
Anyway, if anyone is interested in one for the RT please let me know so we can try and get some made...
That is the nicest pet carrier I've seen. I want one for my 2011 RT-S! When you suddenly stop is there anything to keep your doggy from banging into the metal? My Japanese Chin is a real runt at 3.6lbs and I would be concern that she may be tossed around like popcorn with the way I drive. I have doggles ordered with amazon and I am still considering the Pet Palace, but when I saw this I was really impressed. BRP should sell this as an accessory it's so well thought out and stylish. I love the back-rest addon too. It serves my back and the dog's safety perfectly!
This is Kya, the goofiest looking thing on 4 legs.![]()
