Spydie is home for first ride!!!

[RoHo]

:spyder2: El Spyder Roho :spyder2: finally came home last night with the modifications semi-complete. I GOT TO TAKE MY FIRST RIDE TODAY!!!!!

Being a paraplegic, I had to make some modifications to my :spyder2: so I would be able to ride it. Had a hydraulic hand brake and footboards installed. The braces have not been dressed and will need to be powder coated, but it is together enough for me to go take my driver's test this next week.

I drove it from Fayetteville to Bradford Marine in Springdale (Arkansas) this morning to meet some of the other riders in this area. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

Next step will be to dress up the braces and powder coat and then build my wheelchair rack.

Thanks everyone for all your help during this process. You've been tremendous!

Here are some pics - first group of pics are of the footboards and my CalSci 23.5" windshield.

More pics - R6 Master cylinder and slave push cylinder for the hydraulic brake system. Hydraulic brake push cylinder has to be modified to match the master cylinder. The master is 16mm while the slave is 22mm. Have to pump brake to get a full handle right now.
