• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What Product do you want to see in the aftermarket for Spyder

How about a kit to convert the existing trunk inlets to ram air intake or a cold air intake kit like the tuner imports use? I wonder what kind of turbo this engine can handle:)

1. Decent luggage rack, open styling that still lets you see the bike, like BMW. No backrest option, but possibly a removable topcase option, which can have a passenger backrest. If it has hard bag attachments so the bags just slipp on an off like mant sport touring bikes, more the better.

2. Switch controlled, solenoid operated trunk latch, so you can get in the trunk with the engine running.

3. Transparent lens for the license light, along with socket & wiring to convert it to a regular taillight/brake light. Would need to be LEDs or otherwise compatible with the CANBUS.

:agree: ... and, longer rider pegs. This would enable the passenger to extend their legs and keep their feet on the outside of the rider pegs.

I'm going to adapt ATV pegs to my Spyder just as I did on the two trikes I built (see avatar photo). I really miss those pegs when I'm riding my Spyder, I've gotten very accustomed to riding all kinds of terrain with them, on my trikes. The pegs I adapted were from the Yamaha YFZ450 ATV. I had to machine an adapter that would allow the ATV pegs to swing up and back 45 deg, in the normal motorcycle fashion.

Just curious.... why do you think they need to swing? You're definitely not going to drag them like on a two-wheeler. I don't see why they need to fold up and to the rear... like "normal".

They sure could bite your shin when you push the Spyder out of the garage, though.

Ahhhhhh.... now I see. I never push it.
It was a stretch, but I had to come up with a valid reason. I suspect the only true reason (for a stock Spyder) is that some motorcycle rule requires them, just like other standardized controls. Mostly for the heck of it on this platform, IMO. Probably only cost us an extra $100 per Spyder. :D

Upgrades

I like the one about a new Display with GPS and possibly a Radio or some sort installed in it. they could easily add external speakers on the Spyder theres plenty of spots to install them. Who doesnt like going down the road Blasting your Favorite Tunes :D
 
Upgrades

I like the Idea for a Different Display one with GPS already installed in it and i would add some kind of Radio or Mp3 player and they could easily add some external speakers there are plenty of places to install them on the :spyder:. how bout a seat just made for single riders not one that covers up the pass seat im a tall guy at 6'8 so i could use more forward controls and a seat that is moved a bit backwards. and i would defenatly get those handlebars risers would love to have a diffent braking system as well. wish they made a hand break for it one that wasnt some aftermaket version :yikes:.
 
verdic

So, What is the verdic from your friends? What products are they going to make out of the bunch? and when?
 
re

10-4 thanks. I'm also looking for some type of mercury light to fasten on the trunk lid so when I open it shine down toward the bottom of the trunk. I know turning on the lights with the trunk open helps somewhat and it may even be brighter once I get the Hid lights from Magic man. But if you know of any out there? Let me know. It gets pitch black out in the hill country riding at night!!

Thanks,
vwatso
