Nice updates on your Spyder. And beautiful scenery on your ride. That is also what the Spyder has done for me, discovering all these back roads and small towns near and around where I live. Cheers!
Very interesting hearing your further thoughts on your nifty CarPlay device. looking forward to more fixes to your ride. I actually had to review my thoughts on it.
Glad you’re back. I just rode in the rain yesterday and happy to report my phone was safe in my pocket while the CarPlay device worked great in the rain 😉
I am also trying my cardo (mostly for music on a new helmet i just go the Touratech Adventura carbon ( full face) still be be road tested, I also have a few others with Sena 5s an older unit but work great for what i need. I am starting to like more and more the adventure helmets since they have a better vison , I don't use the peak since the Ryker is a asphalt grinder mostly. For the longer journey I still love my Shoei neotec , for city I use one I got last year and have great vison the Scorpion At950 wich is very affordable for what you get. Bike is coming out of storage next week and can wait ( new custom exaust) i did not think i would go there but i did ... just wanted to improve the sound a noch or 2 even at 64 I like my toys .... nice to watch you video and you always provide very interesting content.. Alain & Yellow
Thank you! I really had my eye on the Shoei Neotec 2 but wasn’t in the budget this time. I am going to develop a helmet buying problem when my kids are all grown and I’m not forking out cash for them constantly
Hey! I'm a new subscriber thanks to Coach Bob. Love the videos I've watched so far. very informative . Beautiful scenery in this video. I don't have a Spyder yet but hope to have one by the end of the year. Still doing my research and going to Columbus Ga tomorrow for a Can Am on road ride event to test drive one. Keep up the great videos👍
Oh speaking of LocTite, I did a video recently where I installed a GPS/Docking station (from Slingmods). When I took off the side panels, I noticed that the three torx screws had yellow loctite on them. When I put things back together, I did NOT loctite them again because I didn't have any yellow and didn't want to use stronger... I guess I'll be a bit nervous until I yank those covers off and check those screws at some point soon... I should have done it at the time and now I keep thinking about it! LOL
Do you have a video how you did this. I just recruited my son to assist me with this haha. I chopped that wire in two and tapped into it uh using some push connectors um
If you don’t run a wire to the switch area for a USB port, you could simply run the wire that comes with the CarPlay device direct to the accessory power wire near the battery (like the wire that was run in the USB port episode I did)
Glad to see you are enjoying the Spyder. Do you still have the original tires on that Spyder? Might want to consider car tires for replacements. I have been running car tires on my 17RTL for 24000+ miles. Would not go back to Kendas. Ryde safe and God Bless Artie
Hi there Y-DER. Greetings from Australia. I’m also looking at Carpuride W702 for my 2017 RT. Could you give any info on your RAM mount, as this seems a much ‘cleaner’ setup. Thanks.
Hello! I used the SpyderTV RAM mount amzn.to/3TAkMHi which currently looks like it is out of stock. The W702 comes with the rest of the RAM style mounting that I used. Cheers!
They are actually not riding gloves, rather gloves I purchased at Home Depot with some grip for working in the garage. I just like them for riding. They do have good padding in the knuckles but nothing that is going to keep my hands safe in a crash. I am looking for a new set of gloves that are made for riding.

Thank you! Coach Bob is the best. I think this is my favorite video so far. Have fun at the ride event. 😎
Should make a difference getting those wheels balanced and thanks for the ride out.
I hope so🤞🏻
Smoaks just had one in the shop recently with balance issues on the front tyres ... Another Cool vlog Brother 👍
Thanks Beanie! I saw the Smoaks you are referring to and even commented that mine is doing the same. Cheers Mate!
@@Y-DER Cheers brother 👍

I can't leave my covers on for more than a month so I haven't even thought of loctite for those... lol
Waygo locks are the way to go.
That firefly usb seems cool.
The firefly works great!
HEY MAN, LIKE THE CHANNEL !!! CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE PART NUMBER WAS ON THE SEAT INSERT ? I'M MISSING MINE AS WELL !!

Hey funny question for ya Y-Der - what gloves are you wearing there?

They do have good padding in the knuckles but nothing that is going to keep my hands safe in a crash. I am looking for a new set of gloves that are made for riding.
I see you just recently visited coachbob. In the future you should do Daytona bike week
Daytona would be cool for sure 👍🏻
Is your Spyder a RTL and what year?
2016 RT Limited - 130,000 miles!
@@Y-DER Wow, I'm impressed.
