Now, this is what I want for my Spyder. Maybe not "batwing" shaped but I want something that has speakers & a stereo system built in - something that would fit around to include our speedometer.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

fairing
i have the f1 evo II. IT IS A GREAT WINDSHIELD. idid have a small problem with one mounting hole.
on honda VTX. i have a memphis shades, an even with the laminar lip, i still get the crap beat out of me from the wind. F1 is making great products.
and now for the 1st 5000 OF US who got screwed by BRP. dont get me wrong I LOVE MY SPYDER, but lets face it they screwed up the gear ratio BIG TIME.
if it wasn't for NO MAGIC MAN, MELS MONSTER GARAGE, F1 SPYDER WINDSHIELDS, AND LAMONT. we who put spyder on the map would be taking a bath on trying to trade our spyders in. my dealer in albuquerque wants to charge me $25 for an oil filter. what do you think he will charge
me to trade. anyway F1 is making a great looking fairing "THE MANTIS'"
and if MINE and a lot of others experience with F1, this will be a great working fairing as well. these aftermarket people are helping us keep our SPYDERS.

I think something like that would be great to have, but one thing I don't want is something that looks "tacked on." I really try to keep the shape and flow with anything I add, and I would have to have something that looked like it was meant to be there. Hopefully, someone will come up with a fairing like you pointed out, and still meets these criteria.

I guess I don't get what you're saying?? Why did the 1st 5,000 of us get screwed? What's wrong with the gear ratio-- and why do you think they changed it? I've not heard of any changes to it.

Yep saw it but don't like the looks. I want something where I can keep my CHAD. But yeah, it's a start:2thumbs:

Huh???????????
This will probably get me on your Ignore List, if I am not already, but . . . .
. . . . . that looks like something Madonna wore in an early music video.
I do wish I had something constructive to recommend, but I have been reading too many 3wheeldemon posts.

i am sorry if you took offense. there is another post on a trial of an RT.
and he said he thought that the the gear ratio was higher in 5th gear.
i have asked lamont to RPMS in 5th at 70 and 80 mph.
i asked no magic man why it is so hard to make certain changes on the
SPYDER, he told my they did not know if the spyder would sell so they took a lot of parts of the shelf. we can only change the gear ratios slightly because the 1st gear i geared too high, and the 5th gear is geared too low. in my opinion this is crazy on a bike with this much torque.
5500 rpms at 75 mph is way to much for a bike that will pull 2 up 360lbs
from 2700rpms with out bogging the engine. also in order to get the pulback that i want 1 extra inch. i will have to ahange cables. i just think
brp should have had a little more forsight to know that these bikes would sell and designed accordingly.
see what it is going to cost you to get a new and try not be too disgusted. anyway I LOVE MY SPYDER and i am going to keep it i still have amore mods to due. and for $25000 dollars i will wait and buy the new camaro.
PS THANK GOODNESS FOR THE AFTER MARKET.

Tell the truth, Tom. You are just drained by your Doctoral Thesis in the "Any Update to the Update" thread:

As I said in a previous post - I don't want batwing style - I just want something that will give me tunes and aux plug ins

No offense taken at all-- just wanted to know where you were coming from.
Understand that the original release of the Spyder wasn't meant to be a touring bike. It was built for aggressive riding--- hence the rider position and the torque. Rotax engines, by their very nature like to run at higher RPM's.
I'm unsure if they actually changed any gearing so to speak--- but they apparantly changed the tuning of the engine to optimise HP at lower RPMS.
I personally wouldn't want any different gearing for our Spyder GS bikes--- I like it quick off the line and really don't care much about the MPG. I don't use 5th gear much at all-- only highway riding --- which I avoid. Back country roads are the norm for me--- and I've had her up to 112 while still in 4th.
The way I see it--- the new RT is really a bike made for a different purpose (maybe even a special purpose--:roflblack
.. and really can't fairly be compared to the GS that we all own now. There's 14,000 or so one the road now (around 10K in North America)---- so I think they must have done pretty good with their initial idea for the Spyder. The RT will sell quite well-- and I LOVE the features and looks--- but it's just not for me as most of my riding is short trips--- riding single.

OK, but . . . .
. . . . that sounds like something Madonna would have said when she was putting it on.
Seriously, I only have a second before I have to get back to the Update the Update thread, the sound quality is much better with headphones or ear-buds. I am biased, I have just never 'gotten' big speaker systems on cycles or even convertibles. According to Lamont, the new RTS has a killer sound system, but it still does not make sense to me.
By the way, how is the No Smoking going - I quit tomorrow. I will probably be kicked off the forum by Sunday. Except for the :roflblack: trailer comment, you seem to be doing pretty good.
