I saw the 2012 Spyder catalogue today

not much in the way of major parts changes, mainly clothing BUT there will be a comfort seat for the RT .. said it moves the driver back 2" to change the angle of the legs,,, I did not notice what the price was though.. I will check next week when we go into bug them

Man , that would be great but wonder what it does for the passenger.Seems like to make one bigger something has to be made smaller.

no kidding.. was not much more info on it so really not sure

i like tha angle change though.. much easir on the knees

The seat is listed at $699.99, and the backrest is $169.99. Comes in both black and tan

I believe that it's also standard on the 2012 Limiteds.
Pal, Ask them some more about it. Does it rob space from the passenger? Ideally it'd be great ifyou could give us a report after parking your bottom on one!

(And I'm still interested in that backrest!)

Excellent news! I always seem to be trying to scoot back 1 inch on long rides...

hehe

so far have not actually seen one, but when I asked they were not sure either BUT it seems like they move the driver back and squeesed the passenger, so tubby passengers may not be very happy or comfy.

not sure when they are getting any 2012's but I will be parking me backside on one as soon as I see it.

ny parts guys guy said the new RT color was AWESOME !!! and when you put the tan seat on it was even better

but I dunno how hard it will be keeping tan seat clean though

You have an opportunity here...
Have somebody with computer skills Photoshop the tan seat onto your White Limited, OR...
Simply go buy one

Then let us know about the cleaning issues...

Can you imagine what great news the two inch push back is to a gal about to buy her first Spypder (Limited) who pushes 5' 0"? What's a gal to do?
