What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Tslepebull]

I replaced the dealer tag on my new Canyon with the permanent one. Exactly two weeks post delivery. Now Sherman is legitimate!

While browsing through FB the other day, I saw a post in a Spyder group where someone had installed a bulkhead fitting for their battery maintainer cable, and it looked great. A far sight better than the state that mine was in, so I ordered the appropriate fitting & cable for the Optimate 3 and installed it today. I fought with my cheap hole saw kit longer than it took to do the actual install. After I switched over to a boring blade to drill the hole, the cable fitting was mounted, secured, & connected to the pre-existing cable in about 10 mins.

Thanks, that's a nice idea.
I found some smaller and more compact ones, as well as SAE extension cables for when I need a little more reach.

Your dealer wanted $65 for the shorter brake rod?

When we bought our 2023 F3, I needed to have a shorter brake rod too. My dealer ordered it and installed it, $25. They tried to keep the 'old', too long, rod. I paid for that rod in the price of the F3, so it's mine to take home, and I did.

I didn’t check with a dealer. I believe it was Lamonster.

Why not just use an SAE BT connector direct from the battery up thru the frunk? No drilling/screwing necessary and the frunk lid would shut just fine if need be.

That's how mine is routed.

Because I like to do things the hard way.

Mine too. I bought an SAE cable with a splitter, so I could run one up to the bars for USB power and the other side for the battery tender, which is in the frunk.
