What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Dasmoetorhead]

Baldwin Iron Works Cat Delete pipe. Took me all of 15 min or less to install. No lift needed. The spring tool is plenty stout. The sound is awesome. I did not use the supplied baffle.

The Spyder is finally out of hibernation:yes:.

I took a ride yesterday, it is nice to be back in the saddle again for the motorcycle season.

I also washed it, with Chemical Guys Waterless wash.

Added some Velcro in the back of the trunk to hold items( water bottle, & etc).

I haven't gotten the girl out yet, but at some point this week I have to because I have to get an inspection. However, when I get her out this week, I'm going to install the new top case lights, and a new USB switch in the empty spot on my switch panel; if the part comes in this week. Was going to buy the dock station but I think this will work as well.

Looking at buying those brake lights myself… how's the quality of them look, & did you get the harness with them too?

The harness is an additional option and currently on slingmods site it's $40.75.

I'm going to post pics or a short video when I'm done installing them.

Just so that you know, that switch may or may not fit correctly. If it does not, then take the blank and cut it out so the switch will fit snugly into it, install the blank then install the switch into into the bike.
Thats what I had to do with mine, but it is not like yours.

Thanks for the heads up. I definitely like the switch better than putting the USB docking station on the bars. I want to use that area for the carplay I recently bought from a forum member.

I pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered it and new shocks/ for the trunk lid and driver seat from Lamonster, Should be here Wednesday fun fun.
Good luck with the parts installs hope all goes smoothly :cheers:

I took a ride today. I went about 40 miles.

I also got in the mail a 12V Pro Receptacle w/polarized leads + slide lock, that goes into the blank hole at the bottom of the trunk. I am going to use it for charging my power pack. I will be installing that this weekend.

A couple weeks ago I installed Ikon shocks (front only) and tires all around on both RT's. Rear tire 215/60R-15 GENERAL ALTIMAX RT45 SL, fronts 175/55R-15 Vredestein Quatrac SL. I purchased the tires from Tirerack and had the tire mounted and balanced at Les Schwab. I dropped them off, my wife picked them up. Prior to mounting everything up, I noticed the rear wheels had the original wheel weights still installed. I gave the LS a call and they told me that there is no way to balance those wheels/tires on their machine, would have been good to know at the get go.
I did some research and purchased a balancing stand and some wheel weights on-line. The rod that comes with it has cones for centering the wheel held in place with a set screw, way too much play caused the wheel to be off center. Fortunately, the axle fit in-between the bearings on the stand after a little grinder action to get the job done.

Oh, we replaced the AGM batteries with Noco LiPo batteries too.

The tires are great, the shocks feel really good. We are very satisfied with both additions. I really appreciate all the feedback on the forum, the difference in handling with the "recommended" tires is night and day from the Kenda's.

A couple of weeks ago, I replaced the headlights with Sealight S2-9005 LEDs. Truly plug and play and a direct fit. I got tired of the yearly replacing of the Ultra Bright Halogens and only $30 more for the pair. Now when on bright, the reflection off the Interstate signs is very impressive. See how long these last!

Checked in on getting the HMC filter I ordered from BajaRons on April 18. They won't have one for at least another week. Local shop that sells CanAm Spyders didn't have one either. Ron orders directly from BRP and they are back ordered there also. I wonder if they have to get them from Rotax????

Added Baldwin Cat Delete Pipe

Things have started heating up in Florida, so I finally bit the bullet & replaced my Cat with a Baldwin Ironworks bypass pipe. Cooled things down considerably and really didn’t make it much louder. I decided to go with the baffle & end-plug and work my way down from there. Most guys just use the baffle minus the end-plug, but I didn’t want it any louder and wanted to maintain the back pressure. It’s perfect just the way it is. I also added a K&N air filter. My magnetic mirror mounts will be here today.

I think I’m done... the money tree has no leaves left! Today is the first day of the Leesburg Bike Fest which is about 30 minutes from my house. Time to just take a ride & enjoy the sunshine.

I threw some stickers at mine

 

[Poppie65]

Installed the upper and lower KOTT grills, the ST2 Brake module, and the ST2 Brake Flasher module. Then the wife and I rode for about 4 hours, with a dinner break added in.

Got her inspected yesterday morning. Felt nice to finally get out and ride.

Finaly took the time to install the SpeedBleeders I got in the mailbox this winter. I had totally forgotten about them, till I found the package during a clean up in the office. pps:
The two in front was an easy job, but the rear one made me wish I had an extra joint on my fingers.
I could have made it easier by removing the round black pastic wheel for the parking brake, but got it done eventually.
Did some bleeding while I was at it and only a few airbubbles came out.
These bleeders sure makes it an easy job and is highly recomended. Think I will order a set for my car soon. :2thumbs:

Yesterday, we installed the following farkles :

ww.amazon.com/Marinco-Products-12VRCTT-OEM-Receptacle-Polarized/dp/B00A42OASW/ref=sr_1_4_mod_primary_new?crid=3VQ52Y8YLSLT3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A0jyyyrCDoxAwb3OfOIRFuCfp-MkXR6F6TKa-6Dod3M8h4_7mKxYoaq-giWpSI

This was installed in the trunk at the bottom of the top case, so I can charge the my power pack when I am on the road.


Also, the trunk shock, I bought from Value Accessories.

Took a ride up to the store for a Shady Dog. Seen 2 Rykers, one was heavily modified, 3 RT's, and a F3S that was a manual shift. I also seen one at a gas station, and one on the highway. Quite the day for sighting Spyder's.
