Reminder to cover the opening when working on your Spyder, or

[Blue Star]

you will have to do this... to find this ... I read before on this site to cover the opening around the handle bar, but did I remember? Not until it was too late. I am glad it was on top and in view once I took off the plastics.

Been there done that, you were lucky it was on top.

I'm well-known in seventeen States for my ability to drop something "Into The Void" :shocked: , and have it lost to another dimension; never to be seen again... :gaah:
Very good advice to those lucky souls out there who haven't had to make a run to anyplace for replacement parts! :thumbup:

They are still looking for the missing Corbin fairing screw that fell into the RS during installation.

Let's see here...
I've got a jumper, a screwdriver, a hunk of wire, a torx head, a couple of screws and even more plastic rivets somewhere in mine...
If I ever find all of it I'll build the Missus her own bike out of the spare parts that I'll have accumulated! pps:

I once dropped a wing nut down the mouth of a Carder AFB,.:gaah:

Hey, My old Man would always say ;

''Whats the sense of being stupid if you don't show it once and a while'':roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

"Always play your strong suit"; right? :roflblack:
Me 'n "stupid" have a long and lasting relationship! :shocked::hun:

Old mechanics learn fast. Especially jet engine mechanics :yikes:

Ain't that the truth. I've had a Posi-Tap rolling around the bottom of my Spyder since my second week of ownership. I still hear the little "clack" when it rolls at a downhill stop. One of these years I'll get it outta there...

It can't just be luck, it must be that good clean livin'

You might need it for an "on the road" quick-fix. At least you'll know where it's safely stored! :roflblack: I'd leave it in there. :thumbup:

Hey, why didn't I think of that?!

Why do you think that my vehicles ALWAYS sound like a tray-ful of plates getting pitched down the cellar stairs?? :roflblack:

dropping stuff

This thread couldnt be more true. I am at Hurlburt Field Florida and the family is still in Texas. I asked the spousal unit to start the bike and let it run for a bit...hadnt been started for a couple months. So while she is sitting on the Spyder, she has the phone on speaker and I am walking her through startup. I hear the bike come to life and then a clatter and then nothing. She calls me back on our daughters phone to tell me her phone slid off the bars where she had it perched and dropped into the void. What ensued was her having to take all the tupperware off and pretty much busting her knuckles to retrieve the phone. Somehow it managed to get wedged behind the radiator. I must say she was a brave one for taking the disassembling of the bike well. And she put it back together without any left over parts!!
