Turning 09 Spyder into true year round machine?

[millede]

A Mod that I have yet to see, even in concept, is a rear track conversion for use during winter conditions. Camoplast makes track conversion kits for four wheelers. I would love to try and figure out if something similar could be retrofitted on a spyder. Has anyone seen this attempted? Please let me know.

Thanks,
David

I've seen people on other forums put snow chains on the rear tire.

It would be tricky to get Nanny to accept such a thing. I think it would be easier...and probably cheaper, to buy a Ski-Doo.

I agree, plus the Spyder electronics may not like a lot of melted snow around them. I have had multiple issues with water during some serious rain storms.

Awful tight fit back there, :hun:
Also even if they did fit, and they loosened [and they will], There's a lot of expensive breakable parts around there to get hit by flying chains.

By the time you get a conversion like that to function correctly, you'd have so much time and effort in it that a Ski Doo in the garage is way more feasible! :thumbup:
