Thanks very much for the info!
My Spyder is a November build so once it arrives I think I will give that a try - worst case if it looks bad I just put it back or get an aftermarket boot without it.
Appreciate the insight sir!

I wonder what they will do on the spyder RS

Anyway, lots of hills and great roads outside of Tokyo, and I am sure that you will love your new ride! I am here in San Diego, and my Spyder will spend a lot of time in the hills outside of town when I get it in December.
