I finally took the RS out for the first time this season. Weather was in the mid 50s, and sunny. Great outing with my wife and her new Spyder.

Did a quick 100 miles yesterday for some fish and chips and clam chowder. What a wonderful bike! It was everything I’ve been looking for. Only thing I might do is bring the bars up and back a bit but we will see. Have a three day trip coming up in May that will be about 1500 miles. That will be a great test. |

Good to hear. Might the missus be convinced to carry a bit of luggage on the can-am? Allowing you to ride without panniers/or with less in them on longish trips? |

Zitat von bill the cat im Beitrag #7 Absolutely; the Spyder can carry up to 440 lbs of stuff. I plan on getting her a set of sadlle bags/cases, and use the Spyder frunk as much as possible. We can fit all of our camping stuff mostly on the Spyder, and leave plenty of room on my RS side cases and top box for important stuff like food and scotch. She wont feel the weight (due to having a third wheel), its not like carrying a passenger on a two wheel bike. As soon as the weather is decent at night, we'll be doing plenty of Moto Camping.

Lee, I have a set of old (unused) Tourmaster semi-rigid saddle bags (40 Liter) that will fit real nice over the Spyder. I also have a great Nelson Rigg tail bag (22 Liter) I can place on the back seat. I think that will do for now, as this will provide 62 liters of space with these bags. That combined with the frunk (another 56 liter), and what I can carry on my bike we have quite a bit of luggage carrying capacity.
