trunk liner

Very handy to know - thanks for sharing.

Here is a video I found on youtube of a Spyder Ryder showing how to access the storage area under the back rest or sports rack:

Very cool.

There are a few things that are a little troublesome if you are installing the sport rack yourself. A big one is threading that cable through the little hole, and then trying to bolt the rack in place without hitting the cable.

and then trying to bolt the rack in place without hitting the cable.

Don't you know it! First time I tried to re-install it (was on when I bought the bike, and I took it apart to install the comfort seat), I was cranking on the center bolt... more and more... till I realized that I was trying to punch it through the release cable.

About an hour later, after a lot of swearing and massaging the cable sheath with two pairs of needle nose, I finally got the whole thing back together and working. Needless to say, the backrest is a lot harder to remove now, but it does still work.

I had the same experience when adding the comfort seat after all ready having the sport rack installed. If I had lnown before hand, I would have bought them both at the same time.

For those that have installed the trunk liner, does it have enough space in its' pockets to hold two spare relays?

Relays are fairly small, even in boxes. They'll easily fit in the elastic pockets, depending on how full they are of other important junk. I just throw them in the bottom of the trunk, along with spare maxi fuses, but they would do as well in the pockets.

Thanks, Scotty.

I see (according to the owner's manual) there are supposed to be some extra fuses in the front fuse box, itself. Do you recommend different fuses, or as they factory supplies fuses ok for spares?

Thank you.

There is an additional fusebox under the seat, which has large, square, maxi-fuses. There are no spares. BTW, the 25A fuse seems to only be available from BRP. I also carry some extra blade fuses for the front. One spare isn't always enough.
