A number of company's make a hitch and Bushtec offers a plug and play wiring loom as does Can Am.
Before I can do much I need to modify one of my lifts to get the damn thing off the floor.
I may be crazy

What does the RT Limited have that the basic RT does not? Seems to be a pretty big price hike to upgrade to the Limited.

Thanks.....but I had already been to that website and can't see a 6K difference in MSRP with the upgrades listed, I was wondering what features pushed Ray's buttons enough to justify the additional cost.

The Garmin might be priced at $4,000 .........

Ok, Ok.... so now EVERYONE knows why I got such a killer price on the 13 FJR from BeemerDons...Bullshit once he is on top Carver doesn't stand a chance gravity being what it isNo,no Ray, you heard that wrong. Carver said Don wants to screw him ON one of them. With that messed up arm, I don't think he'll be able to hold Carver down, so that's lucky!He told me you were funding the /2 project cause you want to screw him out of one of them.Yo Ray, when Carver hands you a check you are wearing safety eyeglasses and a catchers cup aren't you! JSNS, Bouncy!To late.Ray, lets not finance the rest of the Spyder with Grey Ghost service work?

Ray, this is freaking AWESOME DOODE! Now get to work on those /2's and help pay for the SpYdeEr!Well the new Spyder RT limited is in the shop at home. Got a smokin good deal and six years warranty. Patti says the seat is as good as the wing and much less wind buffeting. The wing and the FJR are both for sale.Gonna keep the KLR until I forget to put my feet down at a stop.I'll figure how to get some pictures up but it looks like any other pearl white Spyder rt.
I am really happy for you bud - you work hard, you're an honest man, you keep your word.. you deserve to keep that long ZZ Top beard in the wind...

I got it for 9k under msrp and the GPS is the 590lm. Super low interest rate and 6 years of warranty. The vanity mirror wouldn't do me much good.

Had a nice twenty minute phone conversation with FJRay yesterday afternoon, Ray is now a Wealth of Information on the Can Spyder RT's!
If the local Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson) Can Am Dealers won't play ball on a matching price, I am going to fly to Oregon to buy and ride!
"The vanity mirror wouldn't do me much good." I sure wish Bustanut joker would have seen this, Barry would have had a field day!

300 miles and it's getting better. It takes a different set of muscles to hustle it around the twisty bits. Gonna be sore for a while.
Yup.... Different set of skills, muscle coordination, and different kind of fun. I've said two wheels is like a waltz... the Spyder is like a polka... but you're still dancing.

Good on you Ray, glad you could find a ride that works well for you and Patti.

I loved your saying Miss Tyler, ignore the Pommie! JSNS, Spyder may be in my Future!That's far too poetic for this crowd.... I've said two wheels is like a waltz... the Spyder is like a polka... but you're still dancing.
PS: For those of you who do not know what bloody Pommie means, that is how the Stanley Clan came to the UK Colony of Georgia in the 1700's!
Derogatory word used to refer to a Brit, derived from the acronym POME (Prisoner of Mother England). Oi, that Pommie bastard stole all me chips.

So, you have Ossy convict ancestry as well as Irish and Mexican? Perhaps you have got a little non-barbarian blood mixed in with the tequila and Guinness coursing through your veins

Uhm, what's an NFL? Oh, American football. I know why you like watching that, it's all the cheer leaders they have
If you want to watch a proper ball game, try Rugby Football. Played by real men, no padding. Watch an All Blacks (New Zealand) team play
I know you wouldn't understand cricket, so no point suggesting that for you to watch
Hey, we're a bit off topic here. We're supposed to be talking about (possibly) crazy FJRay going off-side (is there an off-side rule in American football?), looking at a Can Am.
I think you're trying to get me banned

I'm sorry, mcatrophy, but no one understands cricket.
Bowling, wicket, bat, anchor, crease, inning, topspin, the yips .... y'all just keep borrowing terms from other sports and continue the ruse.
I've already posted a couple of on-topic items in this thread, and am only marking time until FJRay's first Ride Report.
