• 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.

    2016 spyder rt parking brake locking

    I took my 2015 Spyder Rt Special Series to the dealer for the 4th time due to my parking brake locking up. The 3 previous times I was told they can't find the problem after test riding it. This time they called and said the motor is bad and needs to be replaced. $587. I was also told that BRP is...

    need insight from any knee replacement riders.

    Knee Replacement I had a total knee replacement in July of 2014 on my right knee. At the time I had a 2012 RT with aftermarket floorboards. I tried to get back on my Spyder 6 weeks later. Unfortunately I couldn't bend my knee enough to safely work the brake pedal. I was finally able to ride...

    LED accent lights

    Led accent lights I bought some led strips to add to my RT-S when I had it in the shop for the 600 mile check. The dealer quoted me $394.00 to install the strips. I looked on Ebay for a cheaper, easier addition. I found a 12 volt system with 4-6 inch led pods, a cigarette lighter adapter, and a...

    installing seat

    Installing seat Along with removing the passenger backrest, covering the holes under the seat with blue painters tape, I put a small piece of tape over the nut and put a piece of wood against the frame to hold the seat up higher. I also used a rotating ratchet which made turning the bolt a lot...

    ultimate seat

    Ultimate seat I have an Ultimate seat tall boy. I love the feel of the seat and the material is a little slippery, especially in turns/curves. I got a piece of black drawer liner, cut it to size and velcro'd it to the seat and it works well for me. I've tried cleaning it with different cleaners...

    Anyone else get riled about two wheelers dumping on Trikes?

    anyone else get riled about 2 wheelers dumping on trikes I had my doubts when I first bought mt RT-S. I rode a 2 wheeler for 30 years. Safety, knee issues and the fact that my wife no longer felt safe on a 2 wheeler any longer led me towards the Spyder. My 2 wheel friends started to bust on me...

    So what are the chances?

    what are the chances East Coast Cycle here in Bensalem, Pa. ( just outside of Philadelphia) has 2 used 2012 RT-S' s for sale. 1 silver with 1516 miles, $15,888 and a red RT-S with 5469 miles for 17,888. A phone call to them would let you know if they have any new leftover 2012's since their...

    Hard turning - not sure what a sway bar upgrade will fix??

    Hard Turning I've been reading a lot about the Baha Ron sway bar helping substantially while in turns and curves and I'm sure it was mentioned before and I probably have missed it, but how well does the Baha Ron sway bar work on straight aways? I live in Philadelphia (the land of crappy roads)...

    Dumb question about highway pegs...

    Dumb question about highway pegs I had thought about highway pegs but since I put on an Ultimate seat with Inspector Gadget's floorboards I don't feel the need to stretch out my legs as often. Before those additions I occasionally did put my feet up on the deflectors and the screw head did pull...

    Ultimate Tall Boy Seat

    I have an Ultimate Tall Boy seat on my 2012 RT-S with drivers backrest. I love the seat. It's very comfortable. The issue I have is that I finally was able to ride 2 up over the weekend. I had to take the backrest off so my wife could fit comfortably. The 2" difference in driver room takes away...

    Inspector Gadget floor boards

    Inspector Gadget floorboards I've had the floorboards for about a year now. Love them. They give you the chance to move your feet around and are comfortable. No more keeping the ball of your foot or the middle of your foot on the pegs causing a little discomfort. They do flex a little when you...

    Speed Limit in Reverse?

    speed limit in reverse I have a 2012 RT-S and have had the same problem on a couple of occasions. I was trying to back out of my garage up a slight incline and stalled a couple of times as it seemed the engine bogged down. I wasn't able to open the throttle up to give it any more gas to get it...

    This is how you get a closer look...are you kidding me?

    I agree with you totally. Drivers are getting dumber and more careless when they drive. I see bad driving habits every day in my chosen line of work and fortunately I get to interact with them and send them on their way with a little gift....People have forgotten that vehicles kill, injure and...
