• 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.

    Spyder Riders At Daytona Bike Week?

    Hi Gang! Curious to know if Spyder riders participate in the Daytona Bike Week events? It’s currently going on now and a friend of mine said it was for actual “bikers” (2-wheels) filled with Harley riders and we ALL know how Harley riders feel about Spyder riders. Their the LEAST of the wavers...

    Chances of a F3 revision in the next year or two?

    The Ryker is definitely only for around town use. Any of the non- touring F3 models (F3/F3-S) can be used for touring as well. Get some “Shad” bags, a good windshield, upgrade your shocks and your off on your way. The F3’s have the same power as the RT’s, but less bells and whistles such as more...

    seat comparison

    I have experience with the Coast to Coast and Cannon Ball seats and their nearly identical. Not worth the price to me, but the "Ultimate" seat definitely takes things up a notch. Pricey, but worth it in the end for your back and bottom. I hear a lot about Russell Day Long seats too across the forum.

    Ideas Of The Best Cat Performance Pipes?

    Hey Gang, Question... I have the stage 2 Monster flash for my F3S, but I still have the stock muffler/exhaust. Any ideas on the best performance pipes/exhaust to give it more of a deeper growl? Some YouTube videos I've seen sounds like fart cans going down the road. Any ideas will be helpful...

    Which is better Dyno Jet or Monster

    From experience, I'll say the stage 2 option. It's simply unreal how much it changes the entire throttle response on the bike. The 1330 engine is a whole lot faster than I thought.

    What about what you don't you like about the Spyder?

    Hmmm.... 1. What I don't like is the fact that the moment that I park her, I'm itching for another ride and can't wait till the next day to do it all over again. 2. All the money that I've spent on mods/upgrades to this fine piece of a machine that I said that I wouldn't. I'm frugal, but I...

    why i purchased my spyder

    Well... I have all the strength to ride a 2-wheeler, but with the Spyder, I just love them! I don't have to worry to much about balance, more visible on the road, wife feels safer and we're more comfortable and... It's DIFFERENT! About 8 out of 10 bikes on the road looks all the same nowadays...

    Sorry Team... Just here to vent! Lol 1. Do you have people thinking or wondering are you riding a trike moped/scooter or something!?! Answer: I do! I had 2 people this week ask me "Man, what is that thing?" or "Is that a scooter or motorcycle?" I mean, is people still clueless to what Spyders...

    Seat advice needed

    I have no experience with Dave's or Russell Day Long (?) seats, but I can say that the Ultimate seats are the best I've sat on thus far. Expensive, but worth it. My wife has one and she's always wondering why I'm always 2-Up passenger on the back of hers! LOL

    F3 Model Considered Best Value

    Between the F3-S or LTD: 1. Storage - F3-S and add Shad bags. The LTD bags are nearly useless. 2. Comfort - Either one. Add better seats to both for a better ride. 3. Speed - Either. MAYBE... The F3-S might have a slight faster speed. If so, not much though. 4. Bells & Whistles (Radio, Speakers...

    Seat advice needed

    I have the Coast to Coast seats and the honest difference between the two is just the stitching. I'm in the process of looking for some better seats though. Don't get either one. Look elsewhere - my humble opinion.
