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.
What did you do to your Spyder today?

My Baja Ron swaybar and Utopia backrest just arrived this past week.
I'll probably start the backrest first after drinking my coffee....

Today, I just drove it out for a walk and bought some things. Two days ago, I changed the back light of the car, and washed it

Changed the oil and filters a few days ago. I also did the oil and filters for a friend of mine on his 2015 RTL. Boy what a difference in frustration levels between a 1330 and a 998. Almost enough to make want to go buy one. I get new tires in the morning Monday and will probably put the new brakes on at the same time and the Speed Bleeders. Got to be ready for D3WR. It is just resting today.

I installed SpyderPops Vision kit for the 2020 RT Limited. It adds lights to the fender reflectors, the bag reflectors and an LED strip to the mirrors.
Yesterday did a hybrid canisterectomy.
Decided to mix a few ideas from Ron, Mike and others so thanks to all.
Extended the breather up nice and high under the cowling, looped it back down, put in a T piece positioned (hopefully) so that if any fuel goes over the hump then it will go via the long hose and miss the canister. Extended the breather up to just behind the right indicator and shoved a small filter on the end. Only concern would be if enough fuel goes through the breather then in theory it could fill the remainder of the breather line past the canister T piece and overflow into the canister. Hopefully this would only happen if I did a stoppie on it.
Let me know if you have any other thoughts where the config might fall down.
Also replaced the low beam lights with +120 s. I know out here our setup is different due to design rules. Low beam HB3 and high beam H4. Will replace the H4s a little later.

Took the :spyder2: off the jack stands after repairing the Fenderz lights. These fender lights replace the reflectors on the front fender (both amber and red) and are REALLY BRIGHT. Sequential light action for turn signals is very eye catching.
TricLED folks are great to work with and stand by their products.

I had to retorque the nuts that held my swaybar links. Apparently, Baja Ron just wants them "snug", or else it would destroy the links. Luckily, I didn't go on an extended ride, just a ride around the block. I'll just have to keep an eye on them *IF* I did damage them somewhat (I didn't use gorilla torque on them initially, so I don't think it'd be an issue down the road).
Sometimes, it pays to read the WHOLE instruction sheet....

Those links are held in place by bolts with 13mm Nylocs, which are self-locking nuts guaranteed not to back out.
So no Locktite is necessary.

I think the V-twins idle a little higher than the triples.
