This morning's activities included 2 skunks, a opossum, 6 deer, and something that I'm pretty sure was a chupacobra, though I'm a bit too far north for that thing, so perhaps not. While the skunk and opossum I would probably roll right over with not much more than a bump, the deer and chupacobra looking thing would've been ugly had I connected with it. I'm not doubting that I'd get used to the foot brake, I'm doubting I could get used to it immediately. It's also not likely that I'd use my common sense and just leave the thing at home in the morning until I did get used to the foot brake.

$1400 to ISCI is a small price to pay for a peace of mind. I'm absolutely impressed with their setup, this only from the close up pictures and videos I've found of the system.
:bdh:
As far as the reliability issues compared to the Goldwing, it looks to be about the same. When the GL1800 first came out in 01 or 02, it had it's problems too. Welds in the frame that could crack, or collapse completely. Bank angle sensors that could fall off, making the engine shut off unexpectedly. Leaking brake systems. Lots of electrical and electronic problems. The people who have problems are always more vocal then people who don't have problems which always makes it sound worse than it really is. (Except for the people with the problem... It really is that bad!) I look for the manufacturer that's trying to fix their mistakes. It does look like they're doing that with the Spyder.
So going over the specs again, I've determined the seat is not heated. Any third party solutions to this other than Corbin? Not that I'd be against getting a Corbin, just looking at my options. Still trying to remember that original question I had... Must be my age. :shocked:
