Yeah, very similar to the T-Rex, except it's affordable! :D
Dunno' 'bout the Rex handling, but I imagine the possibilty of rear end sliding is why the Spyder comes equipped with all that...

Amen, ironhead!
My last bike (also my 1st) was a Yamaha 225 dual sport! The Ss has been a bit of a step up, no? :p

It may not take the twisties like a Buell, but holy crap does this thing look cool! I guarantee it'll get more stares than your Buell ever will. At $15k, not a bad deal, either, especially if you...
I'm looking at doing this swap also, but rumor has it it's actually easier (and a helluva' lot cheaper) to use the Ss bits and do some fabrication than to swap EVERYTHING out. I'll be able to tell...
Nope, there are no fenders long enough. It'd have to be, what, 3 feet long!? :D
BMW makes a neat deal for their bikes that is basically a floating rear fender... it's an arm that mounts near the...
Those dang headers always dent, right there in the crease! I've even got the frame pucks on mine, and they still hit. :(

Hey Chris, did you get your bike yet??? :D
No, they're extremely easy to ride, so long as you respect the beast. The throttle is a little twitchy at low rpm's, and with that much torque on tap, it...
Pretty sure either of those will work, you just have to rig it. But being universal aftermarket parts, I would imagine you "rig" them on any bike. :D

You got the right bike, man! I LOVE my Ss. :D
For future reference, the one small problem I had with my bike (that you wouldn't have noticed since you haven't really been out on it) was a...
Funny, last time I looked, Lightnings were S's. ;)
There are a couple of ways to get both lights to stay on. One is the jumper method described above.
I can't vouch for the R models, but on the...
Hmm, might have to look into that AMA stuff...

Hey irace22, I've got the same bike. What do you think about that seat? Is it as comfy as the stock? I REALLY like the feel of my stock seat, but I love the 2-tone of the one you've installed. :D

Hey, thanks! Glad I could be of service!

I like Ducatis, but I don't think I'll ever own one because of the maintenence. And out of the Ducatis, the Monster would be last on my list. Just does nothing for me. And I really hate trellis...
Dude, you've got a messed up mix of hobbies. Motorcycles and tattoos I can see, maybe even video games, but flower pots???? :D

LOL! Hey ez, I knew it wouldn't be long before you showed up and started posting your pics all over the place!
Partsguy, nice looking bike so far, except for the ape-hangers... never been a fan of...
It's cool, and I'm glad another American company is finally getting on board, but it looks JUST LIKE every other bike out there. Slap a Kawasaki badge on it, it'll look just like a Kawasaki, or put a...
I think Buells are probably the best at handling. That seems to be what Erik is gunning for. And I read an article online somewhere by one of the big-name magazines (can't remember which one), and...
The older models seemed to have a lot of problems, mostly related to oil leakage and consumption. I think that tarnished their reputation early on. From what I've heard, ALL Buells tend to have a...
Probably a new Kawasaki Z1000. They look pretty sweet. Or maybe a Suzuki GSF500... simple, cheap, and not bad looking. I'm not an aggressive rider, so large displacement is kinda' wasted on me (says...
Ha! Yeah, you may outrun the Police car, but you can't outrun the radio! Sooner or later, they'll box you in, or get close enough that you spaz out and lose it running 110 mph. Better to just eat the...
