This is a list of things I have learned about the Spyder, will be adding more as time passes.
Useful Spyder Info
Airbox replacment (defect)
Spyder Panel Pricing
First Service 625 miles
Spyder Fog Light Kit Install
Riser Block Install
Ultra Sport Windshield
Side Panel Trim Kit
Custom Seat Skin
Mono Seat Cowl
Outside Storage Cover
Scorpio Alarm System
Spyder Transport
Spyder Transport Mods
Low Ground Clearence
This is the skid plate below the the storage compartment.
There is only 4-3/4" of ground clearance at the front, and this low point is approx 4" in front of the tires, so this area can contact the loading ramp/trailer deck well before the Spyder tires.

Marc,
Many the FAQs are linked to the old can-am talk and therefore do not work. If would be helpful if this could be fixed.

You think you gots troubles with road clearence? I instaalled Corbin side cases on my GS 2008 and the Corbin mounts lowered the muffler so low that is was getting torn apart. They look good but lack engineering. The cases also rub against the sides of the Spyder. I blocked up the rear end of my Spyder and got rid of the dragging. But when you spend $1,900.00 plus shipping and duties you expect more. Their seat is for the birds too. Another $700.00 down the drain. Right now I am having the OEM seat rebuilt so that it is the same as my Harley Ultra. That one is comfortable. Arthur---
