Can-Am Spyder touring motorcycle with luggage and passenger seat

Accessories

Making my Spyder my own.

Every rider is different — and at 4'11", I knew that making my Spyder comfortable would be part of the adventure.

Built to fit my journey

This isn’t about fitting someone else’s definition of a rider.

It’s about finding a way to make the dream work for you.

One of my first modifications is a specially ordered kit that will raise the brake pedal approximately two inches, helping create a riding position better suited to my height and reach.

Helmet, jacket, gloves, luggage, and a touring setup chosen with Kelowna Powersports — each piece is part of making a 2026 Can-Am Spyder comfortable for me. Sometimes achieving a dream takes patience. Sometimes it takes an adjustment. And sometimes it takes ordering exactly the right part.

The important thing is not giving up on the destination.

The kit that starts the kilometres.

Six pieces from the fit: helmet, learning, riding gear, the Spyder itself, the touring setup, and the people who helped it come together.
