• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hello everyone, I have been working on getting some Rims Custom for some time now. I need some ideas here. I have a custom company who wants to make custom rims for the Spyders. In order for him to sell the idea to his company to place in production he needs to have an idea how Spyders were made in 2007 and then how many were made 2008. He knows this will most likely be an educated guess? The reason he needs to know is so he can figure out how many rims he is going to need to fulfill the market for this, then he will have ideas How many is needed. The more is needed that'll be more cost effective it will be. So what you think, how many Spyders are in this world?

Also how many of you would be interested in Custom Rims for your Spyder?

:spyder:
 
I don't think there's a released count as BRP has been mum about their production numbers. There was 3856 Premier Edition Spyders built.
 
I guess you have alll seen the wheels Industries 7 do now?

No numbers from BRP. My best guess would be 8,000-10,000 total...tops. BTW, there were a few hundred Spyders produced in 2007, but they were 2008 models, the first model year.

wheels

I would love to see some other wheels out for the spyder. I am very interested. Some 15 or 16 inch wheels woud be nice.
:2thumbs: :clap::yes::cheers:
 
Wheels in sets of THREE please. Maybe the aftermarket can give us a rear wheel we don't have to be double jointed to get air in the tire.
 
REAR WHEEL

TELL YOUR COMPANY THAT WE NEED A REAR WHEEL IN THE 16, 17 or 18 INCH SIZE... THIS WILL GIVE US HUNDREDS OF CHOICES FOR TIRES... :yes:
NOT MANY COMPANIES MAKE THE 225/50R15's, yet they do manufacture the tires we need in the 16, 17 or 18 inch versions....

This post goes back to 2008. Information is a bit dated. Lots of custom rims available for the current rides from BRP.
 
Don't know if you got the info you need but I found this on Wikipedia.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRP_Can-Am_Spyder_Roadster

By October 2007, approximately 2,500 units had been sold.[3] By May 2009, 12,500 Spyders (9,932 of them sold in the United States) had been manufactured.[4] Approximately 21 percent of its sales are to women.[5] In addition, some 27 percent of Spyder owners have never previously owned a motorcycle.[6]

Don't know how up to date this is or how accurate.
