Thanks Gents. Dan, yes Sonya is quite special - wouldn't have bought the Spyder if she would not ride on it. She likes to chat while riding, know she's not snoozing when she's on the back. She has nodded off on the GW from time to time, so I expect that will happen on the Spyder as well.
No lane splitting even on the GW, couple of axe handles wide in the rear if you get my drift, and same vintage as myself. :music: Too good a deal to pass up, damn near NOS at half the price. Hadn't planned on jumping ship quite so soon, but have to go when opportunity knocks. Took it out to my friend who started this past weeks events. He was suitably blown away by the condition and what it is - I think he wants an RT LE, probably see him looking for one and then selling the 2018 F3 LE. I thanked him for the push. PO left his bill of sale in the "frunk". Expensive little bugger when he bought it.
If it were me, I would be on the lookout for a very low mileage 2014 and up RT Limited Edition. These are out there. The couple I bought from had decided that on retirement to travel extensively, but for whatever reason(s) this did not happen. His health also contributed to the sale. Any Spyder RT LE between 5K to 10K miles would be excellent. Mine translates 9K Kms to approximately 5K miles, just a good demo buy.
Looked into the trailer hitch for the N-line trailer hitch. There is an adaptor for a ball hitch. Talked to the service manager at N-Line as I posted. Canamspyderaccessories.com has a plug/play wiring harness for the Spyder. This company is out of Quebec, but has the prices in USD. Must do more sales in the US.
Checked out the front shocks. These are the OEM factory shocks with no adjustment. Tells me that these are the least expensive shocks that could be found to do a reasonable job until the warranty is finished. Will be looking into a shock replacement. This has been mentioned on the Spyder forum(s).
