Storage

[luvinmyride]

Im a new bike owner and rider. I'm wondering if anyone has built a shed or storage container for the spyder. I cant find a shed with big enough doors to house my ride without being an eye sore. Need help I'm at the jersey shore and winter is comming fast.

Im also reading post about over heating I have the SE5 2011 and I notice that the temp. bars are reading close to H since I dont know what is normal what should it read.

I have been looking at plastic garden sheds BUT you need to find a 8' x 10' with a door opening of 66"

the bike will fit inside that with room to spare but you need to find out the door size first..

a 10' x 8' won't work as the bike is 8'6" long

I bought a shed from walmart (on line) that had doors that open up I think 78 inches it is a metal shed that is I believe 99 inches deep by 112 in. wide I can pull my bike in at and angle and have about 2 to 3 inches to spare to close the sliding doors cost about $ 400.00 plus dollars you have to put it together but it works have had it for about 2 plus years PS you should make a floor for the shed to sit on keeps the shed stable so far the shed has gone through 2 very heavy snowy Vermont winters still in good shape I have a 09 SE 5 gs model bike

Well if you get a big-enough set of sliding doors for your house...

I contacted Overhead Door here in Idaho and they fixed me up with a roll up door for the shed I had built that works so slick. They had to order it based on my measurements so I would imagine that any garage door buisness could do the same.

Thank You yes I found that to be the case as well. I ended up ordering the double motorcycle shelter by MDM products. MDM Shelters - Portable Garages - Temporary Carports - Instant Garage - Car Cover - Boat Canopy Kit Ill let you know how it works out.

Trust me I thought about getting it in the house LOL.. The one from walmart is to big... I forgot to mention my space restrictions..

Anything on the standard temperature anyone?

As far as the temperature bars, mine is an '08 RS SM5 and runs 4 bars most of the time, and 5 bars when I'm riding in 93+ degree temperatures at slower speeds. Depending on what make/model you've got, you may want to look into Spyderpops missing air dam and .... dang it, there's something else, and I should know it because I've got it installed... criminy.... anyway, check Spyderpops. Or hang around a bit, someone who knows what I'm trying to think of will be by and fill in the blank!

There has got to be a huge difference in the engine temperature gauges between the RS/GS models and the RTs; both with and without the optional gauge package.
My RT NEVER gets to see the temp gauge rise above "halfway", yet the fan does its dance once in a while just as it should!
(I've got the "outboard" gauges in mine!)
