What did you do to your Spyder today?

[DOR55]

Installed Ikon front shocks. Roger at Ikon US has a wealth of knowledge and was great to work with.

And a big thanks to Peter Aawen for recommending them!

Thanks. I appreciate that. You’ve done a neat job that looks very professional.

Getting fingers stuck is something I’m very good at when it comes to trying to hook wires out of tight spaces after being too lazy to take the Tupperware off. I’m also good at dropping small items down in places you never can reach them.

Please let me know how it works in the wild, I’m eager to know. I’ve ordered one so I’d like to know your experience.

Tested it out earlier today. It gives you around 3 seconds warning before a car passes you at a faster pace, and 5-6 seconds if they pass you at a slow pace. I had to heat and adjust the mount to point the sensor slightly to the right after I got home, as it tended to light up the red LEDs (indicating a vehicle is coming in straight from the rear) when the vehicle is still to the left.

The indicator placement location I chose is just okay. Ideally it should be placed higher in the line of sight even if they have to be closer together, but I have a huge screen in the way...

This spot (for the left side) would be a very nice location for the indicators, but it would be pretty horrible trying to shove the indicators through the vents from the inside:


Also, the red LEDs seem to be much dimmer than the yellow/amber ones, but it should be no issue if it's not under direct sunlight.
