• 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.

    Are people throwing better shocks at their trike first, instead of better tires?

    Yep, me too in the same order. I don't think anything came stock with all the right bells and whistles to work perfectly, with no add-ons needed, unless it was the F-15.

    I have a mildly annoying problem while riding - phone won't bluetooth when plugged in to charge - are there any iPhone experts out there who can help?

    They don't make them anymore, but you can find 2nd-hand ones if you search. They are an OEM handlebar clamp for Spyders with mounting bolt locations on all sides. I captured one just in case something new came out that would only match up to a ball mount. However, they do make a center ball...

    I have a mildly annoying problem while riding - phone won't bluetooth when plugged in to charge - are there any iPhone experts out there who can help?

    My cell phone holder, aka docking station, mounts between the handlebars and charges my cell phone when needed. Sena, the camera, and everything else charge from my battery tender lead. Everything stays fully charged at all times.

    Can anyone offer hints/tips for the Missing Belt Guard installation and alignment on an RT 2020+

    I installed an aluminum guard with self-tapping metal screws after the plastic guard attached with 3M failed. A lot of punishing vibration goes on down there. And yes, I prepped it clean enough to eat off of before I installed the 3M model. I think mine was produced by Inspector Gadget...

    A Near Miss - the First incident on my Spyder in 18 years!

    Even intelligent people occasionally do stupid things. So you have to be mindful of the intelligent folks as well as the stupid ones. Simply put, you are the only one in charge of your own well-being, particularly when you are on 2 or 3 wheels, or even on 4 wheels for that matter. I was on 4...

    2012 RT - Anyone have an idea of the Cost of a New Belt, Installed?

    I have the same kind of belt on a machine I use to make extra money. A stump grinder, and it is the main belt to the grinder wheel so it's taking the most punishment of any of the machine's belts, which it has several. If I allow it to become too loose and or if it looses several teeth in one...

    Anyone used this Lift for Spyder Storage? Any feedback on it?

    This is the only way I'd go and park my car underneath...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Today? I reinstalled my Baker air wings after having 3 Elka shocks installed yesterday. Look out twisties, here I come! LOL

    2012 RT - Anyone have an idea of the Cost of a New Belt, Installed?

    Mark that spot on your belt with white paint and keep a close eye on it for any changes in the fraying. It could very well last for thousands of miles, but at some point, it could fail quickly. Good luck.

    Are Spyders becoming popular, or not?

    Don't know about Humboldt County, but Bauer Powersports (530) 338-2129, in Shasta County works on Spyders. He left a local dealership as a lead mechanic and opened his own business. It's about a week's wait to get anything worked on, but he's well worth the wait if you need a good and trusted...

    2012 RT - Anyone have an idea of the Cost of a New Belt, Installed?

    Stuck a small rock through my belt about halfway between the center of the belt and the outside edge. Long story about why and how, but I didn't end up paying for a new belt. The Spyder tech at a local shop said it was a crapshoot whether to run it or replace it. So after riding a couple hundred...

    Are Spyders becoming popular, or not?

    I have to agree as I'm seeing fewer and fewer of the Harley bad boy types on the highways. They still seem to cluster up in groups, but touring machines seem to be more and more popular now than they once were. Saw a policeman had a Slingshot stopped the other day, and after the officer left I...

    Are Spyders becoming popular, or not?

    Wow, I'm beginning to see a Spyder on the road about once a month now. However, I also hear dealers are dropping the line or closing their doors. Which way do you think this is going to go? As owners, do you think we own a valuable commodity or a dinosaur? Just wondering.

    Can anyone post pics, and close-ups, of their installation of Wind Deflectors 38036-219400164?

    https://brp.my.salesforce-sites.com...te?#id=kANOM0000001RUT4A2&googtrans(en|en_US) These BRP wind deflectors barely do squat! I have a pair mounted on my 2014 RT. The best wind deflectors going are (were) Baker Airwings. Baker is no longer in business, but if you can put your hands on a pair...

    Lots of heat from left side of my Spyder, any ideas?

    Yep, it's August. Anything you ride is gonna be hot. If you can, try to find some Baker Air Wings. Mine helped immensely. Other than that, and it sounds crazy, try some leather chaps.
