In addition to the query about accessories posted in a separate thread Super3 Accessories, (which I will update there), I've been giving some thought to mounting a front spare to the rear of the Super3.
I'm not a big fan of the exo-skeleton, leaving aside price, which would seem to be a logical mounting device. The spare would be for a front tire, "unmounted" in the sense that I would not have it fully installed on an extra front wheel, but simply mount the bare tire (possibly with a UV cover if I can come up with one to minimize deterioration). By this post/thread, I'm inviting ideas to accomplish this. With my thanks in advance.
BTW, the vehicle is at the Petrol Lounge getting various things done, which I will address in the "accessories" thread linked to above.

Mount it on the sideblade on the passenger side? If the mounts there can take a full suitcase they might be OK with a spare wheel (optimistic I know!)

I was chatting to some 5 speeder owners only yesterday and quite a few of them that do long touring trips use an anti puncture goo in the tyre all the time, it's popular with bikers too

I'm going to look more closely at the repair kit with the guys at the facility where the vehicle is- they maintain a lot of iron, quite a few racing cars and the one owner has a M3W so has given his personal attention to mine, which is there for a bunch of things including paint protection. Yes, I had contemplated an unmounted spare, not pre-installed on another wheel. @PaulV raises a good issue about impacting the boot which is thin aluminum skin. There is a company in the UK that makes a strap down mounting kit with pad for for mounted spares but I need to do more digging. Thanks, all!
