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.

You've won a lighting contest, so you're already up on me by one. I asked around the forum and then just went at it. When I do an article I'm trying to do it from my newbie point of view. The frunk isn't hard to remove. Look around at the vendors. There are several to choose from. I just took the extra step of routing the bump skid to recess and protect the led strips. I got that idea from Stevemac and I think he got it from Reggy at TricLED. Good luck. Contact me if I can help.
Love Texas BBQ!!!

If you're just starting out I would highly recommend these for a start. The front and rear bright sides, led for mud flap, fender tips kit ( which allows your new lights to act in conjunction with your turn signals ) and the fenderz lights. I have the amber to red on mine. They are available from TricLED. They are a sponsor here and the instructions are simple. If you need assistance Reggy is always around to help you out. Just those items will light you up and make you more visible both day and night.

hey Kev its starting to come along and yes soldering can be a buggar, I apply heat to the bottom of the wires and add the metal to the top this helps pull the metal down into the wire connection...this works for me so this is how I do it, I had to solder a lot of LED lighting for my home reno this winter. I cant wait to see this bike lit up, oh and are you going to the owners event I cant make it to Spyderfest its still snowing here:banghead::banghead::banghead: so hope to see you and your Spyder.

Spyderrock, so sorry to say that I can't make Durango this year. One of my 5 boys is getting married that week. One graduates HS and leaves for the Marines August 27th. The one getting married graduates from Illinois College and is then getting married the last week of June.
I'm experimenting with soldering techniques. I can sweat copper pipes like a pro, but this micro, dinky crap is testing my patience. I need a better iron. I got a real cheapy from Radio Shack and the tips burn out real quick. I'm buying a much better one before I start on the rest of the lights.
Gotta crash now, we have a trip to Cuba to make in the morning to finish some prep work for Spyderfest. Take care, Bro :thumbup:

Wow Kev your going to be busy this summer. I use a weller to solder my connections get the best one you can afford and they do work great. Oh by the way im going to be in MO at Cowtown should be arriving there about June 14th mid afternoon. Im getting some work done and then going to hang around for the weekend then head out with the group from there to the owners event. You have given me some inspiration to light up my Spyder so yesterday I made a lighting diagram of what im going to be doing just need to do some measurements for lights and make an order. I wont install it until next winter because I will have to do like you and remove a lot of the panels...take care and cant wait to see this lit up:yes::yes:

You're a step ahead of me Grandpa. I drive to Len's place in Cuba, MO. for my oil changes. Maybe after my warranty is over I'll start doing that myself. Hope you're going to be at SF this year.

Kevo did you forget about us
Sorry my friend, I didn't forget, but I've been busy trying to finish the bike in time for SpyderFest and had a death in the family. Just getting our portion of SpyderFest ready combined with everything else has just wiped all of my pic time out.
I won't have anything up before we leave for Cowtown tomorrow. Once back, I'll pick up where I left off and hopefully put up some stuff that will be helpful for anyone interested.
