Spyder or Tri-Glide?

[rhino 2]

Sad thing is it looks like a snowmobile with wheels. :rofl:

Funny..... I had one of the first Spyder's Registered in NJ, (2008)..In BRP Yellow and i can't tell you how many times i was stopped and asked did i convert it from a Snowmobile?....Twice by the police wanting to check my registration to see if it was legal .....Now they are common....

Well????

You have gotten MANY responses to your question from this forum and also over on the SpyderLovers forum.

Surely you have enough honest, as well as biased, opinions to have made your decision??

Please let us know ASAP as we so anxiously await to hear...

Ok, I’ll throw my 2 cents in. First I’m a harley guy, i\owned more than you can shake a stick at ( from 1957 to 2024)..I’ve owned four Goldwing conversions ( one Champion and three CSC) five Harley TG’s.. no can am but I did test ride one.

goldwind/ runs great, strong motor, smooth, last forever. Hated the sitting position, killed my knees and hips, not much in handlebars to accommodate shorter riders. Just couldn’t get comfortable on it ( for me anyway). I think if you like Honda the automatic would be a sweet trike.

Harley/ has the look, has the soul, has the feel of a motorcycle. Has an unsurpassed dealer network, you can outfit your bike, self, wife, kids and dog…fit and finish in superior to most. Has the rumble most love…but ( and there’s always a but) it does take parts and accessories to make it right, shocks, lift kit, handle bars, etc…it does run hot ( thanks EPA) but it’s fun to make it your own. If I had the extra funds and didn’t mind the wait, I’d buy a RoadGlide and convert it..think Harleys missing it by not having a RG Tri Glide..but that’s my Opinion..

my advice? Test ride them all, take everyone’s opinion with a grain of salt..everyone’s butt is different and we don’t all like the same thing..Corvette, Shelby Mustang, Street Rod, Classic restored…all good, all different. Only you can make the decision…good luck on that..

Its not just change oil "see link below"

Also your Freewheeler doesnt have the fairings that trap the heat like a Tri Glide does

That makes a lot of the stuff needed mods

I’ve never seen that service interval and if someone does that, they are quite obviously a sucker. Most of those things listed are suggested and I would bet suggested by any dealer with shady service policies by Honda, Can Am etc… My dealership never pushed that on me. I ve done most of that stuff myself in the past.
