Accessories- for more information -

Back in 2008 I bought a rack for Givi panniers from Canada (it was the only option at the time) The airfreight ended up costing as much as the rack so I looked at other options and found that I could bring in 10 racks for $1,000 freight whereas one had cost me $460 freight. I no longer import racks as there are better and cheaper local sources now but I do bring in batches of other product where feasible, to save on freight costs. For a cheaper option for panniers and other genuine Can Am parts you may like to try http://www.mycanamhouse.com/

I have been posting accessories to New Zealand and Singapore so I can generally assist Spyder Ryders "in the area".

I have reworked this page of accessories into two groups.

Firstly products I import, distribute and generally stock here (Gold Coast) I generally sell products that I import - Evoluzione sway bars, Tricled lights etc cheaper than Australians can buy individually from the US direct . I can do this because I spend thousands of dollars on orders and save on freight costs. I don't make much of a margin because I do this as an enthusiast rather than a serious money making proposition. I don't consider selling anything that would be more expensive than individuals buying direct. Apart from the cheaper cost and faster delivery it help me find new products to import and make available here. That is "win win"business to me.

Secondly products people have recommended that I cannot supply , but I will include links so you can source directly.

Products I distribute and generally stock. Spyderpops, Tricled, Evoluzione, Madstad, Custom Dynamics . *Note prices may fluctuate slightly based on current exchange rates.

"Cooler running for RS/GS....

I often have people ask me for the "cooler running kit" for the RS/GS. Just to explain there are 3 different Spyderpops "heat deflectors" for the GS/RS and they all perform quite different tasks.

  1. The Missing Air Dam- ensures that air that mormally scoots around the radiator actually gets forced through it improving cooling - ($29 inc GST.)

  2. The Air Management Kit – ensures all the hot air is deflected out the right side and away from your right foot (eliminating the hot right foot issue). It also includes a scoop ( "E Scoop") to get more fresh cool air in. ($65 inc GST)

  3. The Missing Heat Shield. This shield is coated with a high temperature reflective surface and serves two purposes, shield your foot from the exhaust pipe within inches of your foot and route “HOT” radiator and engine exhaust air past your foot and down to the ground.  A must have when applying the brake pedal repeatedly for traffic stops.($57 inc GST)

Most people fit at least the missing air dam and air management kit. Some like the missing heat shield as well. See detail below

New! -RT grill set

These new grills take only minutes to install using small screws. They are a 3D form like no others which add style and class like they should have come from the factory. Designed to work with the SPY111 block off plate.

$137 inc GST per set of two.

New! -Replacement weather strip for RS and RT.

This weatherstrip replaces the original weatherstrip fior the trunk with a sponge type bulb which will keep it's shape over time unlike the original,

SPY112 for RS -$25 inc GST

SPY116 for RT - $25 inc GST

New! - RT radiator block.

Keep the heat off your right foot by installing this insulated shield. Made from black polycarbonate and laminated with heat shielding on the inside.

This part comes with a special clip and screw to keep it securely in place. Only minutes to install! Requires removing the lower floor pan. $33.00 inc GST

 

New! - RT catalytic convertor heat shield

Stop the unwanted heat radiating off the catalytic converter on both sides.

The converter is exposed below the roadster and radiates extreme heat directly to both feetwhen going at a slower speed, especially uncomfortable for passengers.

Available in both semi-automatic and standard shift versions. Simple installation that takes only minutes! Black polycarbonate with the heat shielding on the back side $55.00 inc GST

New belt guard (GS/RS and RT)

I have stock of a belt guard to save those expensive ($760 from BRP here but cheaper from the US) drive belts from stones .

From Spyderpops who does the "missing air dam " kits. He has tested this for 6,000 KMs and it works well.

I have a shipment flying from the US now and they sell for $49 inc GST (includes new weld nuts)

Cooler running for GS/RS

Hervey, a Spyder owner in the US who has an auto parts business , has put together a kit to better seal the airgap around the radiator. Reports so far say that in hot weather, when moving, the temperature drops by up to 2 bars.
Hervey says "Professionally Die Cut Neoprene Closed Cell Sponge Pieces ..... through Reverse Engineering processes that includes Cavity/Empty Area measurement to create a product that was “Missing”. Easy to follow (picture/caption) instruction sheet is included along with a tube of very good 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive."

 

. The kit includes the glue necessary and instructions. $29 inc GST

To save on freight from the US I have kits coming in 10 at a time so I generally have them in stock. Current price is $29 Aust including the GST plus $7 postage.

On Spyderlovers.com "Black Widow" says -" I just got one installed and I can tell the difference in the running temp of the spyder from about 35 mph up. You should run two to three bars cooler (when the outside temp gets hot) . I also noticed that when setting in traffic with five bars showing that it only takes a very short distance (once you get moving) for the bars to really fall off. This is obviously due to the increased air flow through the radiator. It looks like something that the factory forgot to put in. Great value for a option that works."

"Missing heat shield"for GS/RS

The centre image right shows the “Missing Heat Shield” which also gives added protection to sensitive braking components that were previously exposed to the elements. Designed with foil lined woven fiberglass to deflect the heat and adhered to the inside of precisely formed back Polycarbonate to be light and strong. It attaches to the inside of the right foot guard only, so it will not interfere with removal of service panels.  A very easy peel and stick installation with complete instructions.

New air management system for GS/RS

Since I have been running my "Missing air dam" kit (see above) my Spyder has been around 2 to 3 bars on the highway instead of the usual 4 to 5 bars. Those of you who have tried this should have seen the same results - it really works.

Harvey in the US has now expanded that to address the "hot right foot" issue that exists with the 2008-2010 GS and RS with a complete air management system.

This kit (image far right below) contains two parts to properly manage the “HOT” air coming from your radiator and redirecting the “HOT” air out the side vent and not on your foot. Includes a freshly re-designed “E-SCOOP” to force “HOT” air back and out inside the fairing.

 

Stainless mesh guards RS/GS

Harvey at Spyderpops is now producing 3D formed stainless steel mesh guards for the RS/GS. I will only keep ones set of each in stock at this time it will cost you less than ordering direct (freight on individual items from the US is $44 USD )

$85 AUD inc GST for the right hand side radiator outlet and $135 inc GST for the set of 5 for the air inlet scoops in front of the detachable pods (radiator cover & oil reservoir cover) on both sides and a replacement screen for the left hand side air outlet.

Have a look in the smaller front unprotected vents for the radiator- you may find the radiator fins flattened by stone impacts as I did !

Problems with plug wires?

A couple of people have reported to me rough running issues after having spark plugs changed. Watching the US Forums it seems that the OEM carbon cables are extremely fragile and often fracture or arc after being disturbed - as happens when changing plugs.

Dale emailed me - "put the spyder in for its first service today everything was fine before it went to the shop when I got it back it was idleing rough and when you take off it is like it is missing ... took it back to shop they put it on computer and they say it all says it is fine .. " I suggested plug leads- he replied" Martin took the bike back and they  removed spark plugs found nothing wrong with plugs then changed leads and bingo problem solved thank you for the information that you sent "

I am importing some better quality and much more durable spark plug wires, made using MSD Super Conductor OR Accel Race Wire and also NGK Iridium spark plugs. Iridium is a favorite among many big-name aftermarket manufacturers, exotic car OEMs and enthusiasts looking for an extra edge. The center electrode of an iridium plug tapers to a point as it nears its ground; the idea being that it focuses spark energy into a narrow, more intense arc, thus increasing combustion efficiency.

OEM ones are left in image and new "Race Wire" ones on the right with the pink plug cover.

Lead sets $70 inc GST includes dialectric grease for boots and heat paste for plugs.

NGK Iridium spark plugs $12 each inc GST (specify RS or RT)


They should be here shortly so please let me know if you are interested.

Here are some of the improvements of these wires over original BRP cables.

Wire
OEM
- 7mm Carbon Resistor Core
Custom - Accel 8.8mm Spiral Wound Race Wire

OEM - High resistance Carbon Core reduces spark energy at the spark plug and tends to break down over time causing misfires and backfiring. Manipulating these wires (as when you change a spark plug) can cause unseen damage and problems.
Custom - Low resistance, Spiral Wound bi-metallic wire core provides a continual, hard wire electrical path delivering more energy to the spark plug ~ Metal wire does not break down like the carbon core. Handling is not destructive.

Spark Plug Boot
OEM
- Standard Automotive Rubber provides minimal resistance against arching. Can deteriorate in high heat conditions increasing chance of arching as the boot ages. Handling can be destructive - Short length makes it hard to grip for installation/removal as it is recessed into the Spark Plug hole.
Custom - High Quality Silicone provides maximum protection against arching. Silicone's resistance to high heat environments helps these boots last a long time - Extended Length brings the top of the boot above the the Spark Plug hole making it easy to install/remove. Handling is not destructive.

Coil Boot
OEM
- Automotive Rubber
Custom - 45 deg. High Quality Silicone. 45 degree angle helps it to lay up to the frame rail. (Ok, admittidely the coil boot is not that big a deal, the stock rubber boot is probably all that is needed at this end of the wire. Still, this is a high quality race boot and a nice improvement at the Coil end).

Noise (RFI & EMI Interferance)
OEM
- Good suppression of both noise sources, can deteriorate as carbon core breaks down.
Custom - Excellent suppression of both noise sources, will not deteriorate as long as wires are servicable.

New stronger RS highway peg brackets.

I have been importing a few highway peg bracket sets but because they are so heavy the air freight has meant they were quite expensive. Also they could not support a lot of weight.

I now stock some new ones that are bit lighter and MUCH stronger. These brackets bolt on to your motor mount bolts and provide a footpeg mount point appx. 12 inches forward, and 4 inches outboard of the stock footpeg location. These are designed in 3D CAD, laser cut, CNC bent, welded, and then powder coated black. $238 inc GST

They have a half inch (12mm) mounting hole for footpegs of your choice that are readily available locally or I can assist with those too for $60 inc GST per set including mounts as per the image to the right.

.. Let me know if you are interested.

NEW! RT footrests from Madstad

Stretch out in comfort with the MadStad Foot Rests for the Can-Am Spyder RT.

They are very solid, made from 1/8” thick stainless steel and bolted into the framework of your Spyder. Two hidden supports (also 1/8” thick stainless) run down to the steel frame so that you are not just attached to plastic.

No modification or drilling is necessary and they can be removed to return the bike to stock configuration.

These footrests are not coated; they are polished stainless steel with black grip stripes. Also available in black powdercoated stainless.

Complete set $310 inc GST

Reports on "spyderlovers.com" say....

I just put them on my RT and they are just what I was looking for ..Madstad did it right. They are very easy to put on remember to take the under cover off to let the heat out,also you will want to put the Spyderpops shield on the right to side to keep the heat off your right foot. Cj and I just came back from a 290mi ride and I love them. Thanks Mark.

Ok this is short and sweet if you have a RT the Madstad foot rest is hands down the best I have seen and the install was 45 min from start to finish,take a look at their stuff it was very impressive!

 

* Note -On the right side the rider's leg will be directly behind the radiator vent, so the Spyderpops RT radiator block ($33.00) is a "must" and will resolve the hot foot issue.

Keeping the bugs off! A better windscreen. Madstad

If you follow the US forums (Spyderlovers and Spydertalk) you will find that no other subject seems to bring so many different opinions than that windscreens.

In my opinion we are all different sizes and have different riding positions so for a windscreen to be "all things to all people" it really needs to be completely adjustable in angle and height.

The CHAD screen from Industries 7 in Canada performs very well but many people do not like the appearance and fewer still like the $600 plus price! (air freighting really bulky items like this to Australia is simply very expensive) . This option is hundreds of dollars cheaper.

Mark from Madstad Engineering in the US has just released a very reasonably priced Spyder windscreen system that is adjustable to the extreme as the image below shows. This idea is not new as Madstad have sold thousands of their adjustable bracket sets for the Suzuki V-Strom over the past few years and people swear by them.

The brackets are mounted to a powder coated black aluminum plate that fits on the old screen mounts. Because of the unique brackets the screen can be flattened down to just 27mm off of the body or lifted up several inches. There is a huge range of adjustment possible meaning you can use a smaller, better looking screen and still get the results you want..

 

 

One of the first people in the US to try reported on Spyderlovers forum "I have found that with the Robobracket from Madstad and their 20" shield I get the best overall wind protection of any I have tried so far. It is amazing how a smaller shield that looks nice on the spyder does the best job. I sincerely believe it has to do with the adjustability of the brackets, enabling you to set the shield to your preferences."

The clear 24" shield was specially designed for the Spyder and is a thick 4mm for extra stiffness. You might be wondering why would you want this windshield rather than just using your current touring shield with our brackets? The reason is our shield has an even, straight profile which gives you the smoothest airflow. Most aftermarket and accessory touring shields have a lot of curves, humps and irregular shapes that disturb the airflow and don't provide the best results. Our brackets can improve their performance but the smoother the shield design, the smoother the airflow will be. " Price $345 inc GST

Evoluzione O2 modifier.

This "plug-n-play" module modifies the signal sent to the ecu via the o2 sensor line. with a more performance-based signal, the light throttle drivability is improved. $99 inc GST. RS/GS only.

Many people who improve the "breathing" of the Spyder with less restrictive air cleaners and more free flowing exhausts find they then run too lean at times. This is a simple solution. A typical comment from a forum- "Made a world of difference- lost the popping and backfire I had when decelerating and smoothed out a rough spot I had a cruise speed. "

O2 modifier - $99 inc GST

Peter From Dubbo says- "Hi Martin- Just a quick note re the O2 modifier kit - unbelievable!! - what a highly recommended little gadget. it worked wonders - no more popping / backfiring and definite change to the throttle response - thanks again."

Neil in W.A. says "The best improvement has been the O2 eliminator. This has proved to be a real benefit in the engine running smoothly especially from idle to midrange. I previously eliminated the Fuel Evap Container and bypassed the hose that in itself showed a slight improved running. With the O2 now connected its a real blast. "

Custom Dynamics "Street Magic" Bar Riser kits and other innovative Spyder accessories.

I must admit even with the 1" BRP riser I do suffer from the "axe blade between the shoulders" on long rides. For me (6ft) I think its not more height I need rather than to bring the bars back a bit. . I guess that I can only echo what has been said in the US forums. Previously I was sitting close to the tank to get any bend in my arms and I was still getting a pain between my shoulder blades (I am 6ft with a pretty dodgy back) . Now I can sit back in the seat, still have roughly the same body position but bend my arms and relax my shoulders.  Definitely less effort to turn the bars now and cornering is easier.

I recommend them if you are not totally satisfied with the standard bars.

Custom Dynamics "Ezy Risers"

For the most comfortable ride you'll ever have, these risers are fully adjustable forward or back.

Worry free for years they are made from die cast aluminum and contain all hardware.

No modification needed as the Kits comes in 4.5 inch height and allows for use of the existing stock cable, hoses, and wiring.

The 4.5 inch kit is only for Spyders who DO NOT have the 1 inch BRP factory riser kits. $165 inc GST

Hi Martin,

I installed the 4 1/2" Ezy Risers to my RSS and what a difference it has made to comfort and handling. It is almost like a new bike. I wish I had done it months ago. The difference is staggering

Regards, Kevin in Victoria

"Up and Out" mirror extensions (RS/GS)

Find you cannot see what's behind you and it gets worse when you raise the bars? These extensions will not only move the mirrors out, but also up as well, allowing for a far greater view.

When designing these extensions Evan found that was as important to raise the mirror height as well as move them outward to truly improve the rearward view.
Evan wanted the ESI Up & Out Extensions to incorporate as much "form" as they did "function." In as much, the 3D design and CNC programming of these extensions took almost 10 months to get the fit and look just right.

 

The ESI Up & Out Extensions are made of billet T6061 Aircraft grade aluminum and feature the latest 3D CNC machining and design techniques to produce a one piece core block with a smooth body blending design looking almost factory once installed with a textured black powder-coated finish

Spyder Belt Tensioner

Robbie Elves sent in this info. I have no experience myself but it may interest some - around $300US -Contact:  Capt. Jim Stanger at jim@smoothspyder.com 

Jim says " Why the Spyder doesn't come with one defies engineering sense.  As a aeronautical engineer and helicopter pilot, I can't imagine flying a helicopter with long kevlar belts without a belt tensioner.  Just completed 400 miles with the Smooth Spyder and amazed at the silky smooth shifts, lack of vibration, and the elimination of belt slap.  Everyone knows vibration is a killer with any machinery.  The long-term use of the Smooth Spyder will substantially reduce wear and tear on the motor, transmission, wheel bearings ... AND every component on the bike.  "

I think this only fits the RS or GS so Rt owners check first.

Elka suspension for Spyder

Custom built and handcrafted - see a PDF brochure. They have remote reservoirs and claim less body roll, 1"more front suspension travel, a smoother ride, tuned for the riders weight and riding style, better stability and traction.

Note* HIGH- AND LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT
Elka Suspension’s Elite compression adjustment is an internal cartridge with two distinct circuits that control the hydraulic resistance for both high-velocity and low-velocity oil displacement. This enables very advanced fine-tuning for different types of impacts that would otherwise require the rider to make a compromise between a more comfortable softer suspension and a high-performance harder suspension.
With our Elite compression adjustment, the rider can have the suspension set to react differently for high-speed situations and low-speed situations at the same time.
SIMPLY PUT, THE ELITE COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT IS LIKE HAVING TWO SHOCKS IN ONE: IT REACTS DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO THE VELOCITY OF THE IMPACT

All Elka shocks are custom built to rider weight and style of riding, they are built to order and they will take 2-3 weeks to receive once the order is placed. For more info phone: (02) 4353 3622 and tell them you saw it here.

Local suspension option.

For those wanting to upgrade their suspension Ikon can now assist - "We now do have front and rear shocks for the the Spyder. The fronts start at $685.00 a pair and the rear shock $750.00. Both have progressive rate springs, adjustable rebound damping, screw thread pre-load and are rebuild able. On the rear we have also done an extra heavy duty version for those who are towing.

New Local Muffler and Linkpipe Supplier for Spyder RS

John Rose says "I have been looking around for a replacement for the ugly original muffler and eventually spoke with Mark at MC Performance and he was very interested in manufacturing a link pipe locally and trialling a range of mufflers including the Venom and Venom Plus.
What we finally came up with was a nicely made chrome link pipe and three variants of mufflers.
A carbon fibre unit with a flange mount for the link pipe Plus two variants of the Venom with a slide on mount.
I was surprised at the results:

  • Better low down torque
  • Less weight
  • Far better looking and ascetically pleasing
  • Whatever noise levels you want (within reason) based on what optional front and rear baffles you install.

If anybody is interested in these, Mark is offering a 15% discount on these two units.
Give me a call if you are interested or would like to discuss.

Cruise controls

Hi Martin,

I have recently installed cruise controls on two spyders and have taken on the dealer/installer in my area.

I am this week installing on two BMW's as well. The units are computerised and the only fully electronic unit available,as I am led to believe. On the Spyder there just work perfectly as delivered without any further calibration. The company is in Melbourne and  send the unit in kit form,within 2 days or so. with all instructions.

The instructions are so complete the owner should be able to do the installation himself if he is competent with a spanner.It involves striping all the fairing off the bike and involves maybe 8 hours work, that's why I am doing installations, which costs around $350.00au. If anyone wants the details please contact me. See the PDF document for your information..

Martin,
MCCruise of Melbourne now make a model specific cruise control for the Spyder. See the following link. I fitted a MCCruise cruise control to my Trophy, and it was brilliant. They look like they are part of the bike, mot an add on. They are specifically made for motorcycles, not converted car ones. I have no vested interest in this company, just a very satisfied customer. Yes. I will be fitting one myself. Thought this would be of interest to readers of the spyderriders web site
Regards

For a good quality handbrake kit, floorboards etc see- Industrial Specialty Company Inc in the US .

I have only heard good reports on their quality and engineering.
