• 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.

Nice job. :thumbup: I love to see people innovate. Be cautious about putting too much weight in that big box though. The amount of lift from the box will be magnified by the length of the bracket the box is mounted on. You could become the first Spyder to do a wheelie if you load the box too heavily. :yikes:

LOL the box looks bigger then it is it hold
3.7cubic feet and will only put 20LBS in it
 
Make sure you have it shielded from the exhaust. The heat rolling out the end of that exhaust pipe will turn your plastic into goo. ATV's will burn a hole in a sprayer tank that is mounted on a hitch and 3' behind them.

i did install a heat shield on the box
 
I would be concerned that if it did fail it would damage your brakeline and speed sensor cable. You would be surprised how much leverage is out there putting stress on those tabs. :dontknow:
 
Somebody just has to load one with weights just to video the first-ever Spyder-Wheelie! :roflblack:
good Luck and please let us know how it works! :thumbup:
 
that is one thing that did concern me I did us 3/8 flat stock I did stand on it and I am 200lbs
the trunk is 9lbs and there will. be 18 lbs of clothes in it I hope it will work lol
 
Well rode about 75 miles today riding 2 up and 20LBS of stuff in the rear trunk the heat shield held up great it did not even get that hot everything so far looks and feels great it's like the box is not even there.
i have a total of 150 miles on this test run so far started at 35 MPH to 95 MPH I and the wife will do about 350 miles tomorrow

Looks nice. curious though, why not go with a smaller box since you can only put 20lbs in it? Or does it just look bigger than it is? :dontknow: 20lbs of clothes? i guess you put yours in the saddle bags...:roflblack:
