Hello neighbor, I live in Surprise. We should meet up for coffee some morning. I've owned a Spyder and now ride a TriGlide. I had to throw parts at both of them to get something that I enjoyed riding. The main reason that I got rid of the Spyder was that there wasn't a lot of things that I could do to it as far as repairs and such. Having had Harleys most of my riding life I had all the tools and knowledge to make repairs myself without going to the dealer, which I hate doing. Both have their good and bad points so it comes down to a matter of personal preference.
