“Have a problem with my spyder rt motorcycle headlights not working. I bought the mc 2/2012. Have had the headlight relay replaced 4 times since 7/23/13. In april 2015, I was riding in the west virginia mountains at night and my head lights went out. This is very dangerous. The spyder dealer called the home office and they said that they could not fix it because it was not under warranty. It was under warranty when I first had the problem. I called the home office today and they told me the same thing. After arguing with technician he hung up on me. …”
