Best wishes with your new machine DeerSlayer!
You're still in the wind and that's what counts.
Deer Slayer I'm not gonna feel too sorry for you. That Spyder is a hot machine. Happy riding brother. Hope you enjoy many more years.
The Spyder seems better then a trike, Have fun
Letters on the tank mean little, it is still the same wind in your face.
Ryde on!

Rode a spyder before not bad , the new RS line looks pretty cool . i did see a few months back a cmpany was making a reverse trike same concept as the spyder , I actually think it was posted on here .
40k for a converted is a bit pricey .
Congratulations on your Spyder .... I'm sure you will love it. For any who might be thinking that no reverse on the F6B is a major negative I have found on my F6B trike, without running boards, that it is easy to roll backward paddling with feet or getting off and pushing back or foward using the handle bars and grab bars. More of an issue is not having a parking brake. You have to be extremely careful to ensure that it is in gear, and stays in gear, if you park on a slope. I have had it slip out of first and roll backward. I sometimes use velcro to hold the brake lever.
I have 4,500 k and am still adjusting to it not being a bike....I really miss the leaning and maneuverability of a bike. To me, riding the trike is like riding a four wheeler. However, there are many advantages of a trike. Just the other day, I saw a small cemetery off a dirt road. On my bike I would not have even considered going over to it....but with the trike I never gave it a second thought. Just rode down the gravel and made a u-turn in the grass and back to the main road.
May you have many pleasurable trips on your Spyder. God bless!
