I just sadly sold my 97' Valkyrie & purchased a 2012 Spyder RTS with only 200 miles. Thanks to Finless Bob's how to videos, I just completed replacing all the reflectors with LED's and hooked up the Sena SM10 to the stock radio. Everything works perfectly. I am getting used to the Spyder with each ride. It is a lot different than the Valk but I had to give it up because of back & knee problems. The Spyder allows me to continue riding for some time longer on three wheels instead of two.
I did want to add an option to your video on removing the reflectors to replace with LED's. I was not comfortable removing the reflectors with a heat gun or any other heat source, so I used an old body shop trick I learned some years back for removing body side moldings. Get ahold of some 14Lb. test, or better monofilament fishing line. Get the line under the reflector on one end or the other. Grab each end of the line with both hands. Slowly move the fishing line in a sawing motion. This will cut through the 3M tape & the reflector will fall off. Then remove the 3M tape residue with Goo Gone or even Mineral Spirits. A little safer than using heat.
Again, thanks for all the assistance. I hope to be able to add my help & suggestions as time goes on & I try new things on my RT.
