• 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.

Sidecar for the Spyder?

Has anyone seen anywhere you can buy a sidecar for the Spyder. Would love to be able to take all 3 of us with one Spyder. I probably know the answer but thought I would ask anyway.:D
 
:shocked: It just ain't gonna happen without you getting busy with a torch, a welder, and a whole bunch of friends with time to burn...
SORRY!
Nobody builds one currently for the Spyders... :gaah:

Yes, I seen it once can't remember where, But in thinking it had to be on this Forum and a few years ago'
Either it was a member or someone posted a picture of one they seen.:dontknow:
 
... aaayup.

+Could it have been a staged shot...?

Yea, I remember that one seen the brick under it when he first posted it,
Unless the lead is reaching my brain' and that's a good possibly i think someone did handcraft one.:dontknow:
 
I would highly recommend against doing that. The Spyder will become quite unstable and unpredictable, in my estimation. A vehicle with three tracks, no pivot point, and electronics and suspension engineered for something far different, could pose unsurmountable safety and handling problems.

I Agree, But that never stopped anyone from building something that was both outrages and,
Dangerous. :roflblack:
 
Another issue from the guys that put training wheel setups (like Voyager) on their Goldwings..Some states insist on automotive standards when you go beyond 3 wheels.
 
Didn't they once believe that if a locomotive got up to 60mph; it'd suck all of the air out of the passenger cars and everybody would die? :shocked:

The only Trains i rode on were the NYC subways, So with the Square wheels they used there was never a worry about them hitting 60mph. :D
 
How about 3 seater tandem, maybe a good seat maker can stitch one up and alot cheaper than a sidecar. A streach spyder RT SE5 Version anyone? Can anyone make a graphic picture pls.:yes::yes::yes: Love it
 
I would probably leave the side car off the :ani29:. My concern would be safety issues and probably all kinds of issues with the nanny. Sidecar rigs handle differently, and when you throw in the dynamics of three additional wheels I see potential problems.
 
Oh Heck...Just mount a "chair" on both sides that you can hydraulically deploy like the stabilizers on a backhoe!
How bad could it be? train wreck.jpg
 
there are trike kits made with three wide seating, but all I have seen are single front wheel. Auto engines
Brothers of the third wheel have a forum with some on it

It is definitely a staged shot. First of all, the color of the sidecar doesn't match the Spyder PLUS the front of the sidecar is supported by a cinderblock and NOT connected to the Spyder. I have a GL1800 Trike, but NO sidecar. I was told that you can't have 3 people on a motorcycle even with a sidecar. This is in New Jersey. If it's a motorcyle, you can only have 2 people total.
Motogordo:yes:
