I got a Spyder about 3 months ago. It is totally awesome. Very esay to modify for a all hand control. This thing is super fun and it feels great to be back on a bike! love it.
Hello, my name is Bill and I'm a para, I live in Australia and I've just purchased a Spyder myself. I'm having some trouble getting the bike to stand on it's nose with a cable brake set up. any chance you could let me know what you've done with your Spyder, maybe a pic or 2, it would be really appreciated as I'm keen to get on my new toy as soon as I can. My email address is billgeorgas@bigpond.com hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Bill,
whan I looked at one I recall they were using a twin 20mm piston and hydraulic system from Germany (I think it was Brembo which is pretty good kit, used in high end cars and racing) to modify them. Although it cost around $2000 for the mods, hydraulic is a lot more reliable and safer than cable and the mechanical advantage is a lot better. If you like I could get the details of the company who I spoke to. They may be able to get the parts.
