I got the same answer from Lamont regarding installing some lights, but I was asking about the fender light kit that requires a bunch of body panel tinkering. As for other vendors...the past two yrs we've gone, none of the vendors take appts., but instead take your number and call you when you're next in line. In other words, you're kinda stuck there until they're ready...but they never know when they'll be ready. It's a bit frustrating, and expensive waiting........there's so much other stuff to buy while you wait. I would plan a day just for purchases/installs if that's what you're going to the 'fest for. Then spend time with friends and riding the other days
Installing a seat is one of the easiest D-I-Y projects.
That's true...
I was just suggesting that if someone couldn't get an appointment for seat replacement at SpyderFest, it's not the end of the world because it's a pretty easy job to do and doesn't take any special skills.
Kindly re-read Post #26... 
:hun:That's where YouTube DIY videos come in, you got skill enough to find the 1 that you understand & can follow :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
...I'll also admit to having the same shortage of skill.
I did read and re-read it, Bob. I think anyone can do a seat replacement if I can. It just requires patience, not skill.

For my first time attending. I was extremely disappointed. I understand the weather is unpredictable. We rode 9 hours on Tuesday to attend.
Went to Pitbull in S'field around 4:30 on Tuesday to scope out what was going on. Buck was great and showed us around. It was to late to get registered. We had pre-registered when the dates came out.
Went back Wednesday morning at 8:45 and registered. Asked if we could sign up for the rides and were told just be lined up on the ride we wanted on Thursday.
Then found out if we wanted to see vendors that we had to ride 30 miles to Boliver. We were looking specifically for passenger arm rests and a fuel door. No one was selling fuel doors, and only one vendor had arm rests and they wouldn't install. Very disappointed in the number of vendors and their offerings.
After spending about 3 hours walking around, we went back to the hotel.
When we registered, told Pitbull it would be our first time attending and were told there would be 1300-1400 Spyders there. My question to Pitbull is if each ride was limited to 35 Spyders, there were two rides scheduled for each day, with 3 start times. That's 210 Spyders allowed to go on the rides. What is everyone else supposed to do??????
