• 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.

    Who has an aftermarket exhaust?

    Consider a Yoshimura before you buy anything. I found the Hindle to be annoying while riding and the Yoshi gives a good throaty sound, better performance and won't overwhelm. Mine is carbon fiber and looks and sounds great. Brian Phantom in San Antonio

    DPS recall, anyone else had it done yet?

    Raptor did a good job explaining the "feel" of the new DPS. I've had mine about 3-4 weeks now and have put on around 350 miles on both one longer and a series of short rides to work. After realizing that I didn't have to man-handle it anymore, I got more used to the overall ride and drove more...

    DPS recall, anyone else had it done yet?

    I've done mine and put on about 80 miles so far. The steering is clearly different - easier and even a bit loose feeling compared to the old setup. It feels more responsive at all speeds and I don't have the feeling that I'm pushing the steering anymore but instead guiding the Spyder through...

    DPS Recall Exchange

    Quick DPS turnaround FWIW - I got my letter today, called the dealer (Joe Harrison Honda) and they said come on over and we'll do it today. I left the bike there and will pick it up Tuesday after i get a few other items done (tune up, etc). They were friendly and accommodating. I'm in Texas -...

    New relay kit from Evoluzione

    I'd be very careful about just replacing relays. Relays are somewhat like fuses when it comes to specifying the rating on the contacts. The relay itself is just part of a circuit which includes the load and the wiring. IF the relay is going out due to a contact rating issue (as opposed to just...

    Tail Light Removal

    I just did this and it isn't nearly as awful as it seemed. If you remove the 7 torx screws (t8?) from under the seat pan (above the wheel) then you'll find that the entire experience isn't bad at all. I didn't follow the wire routing guide completely as it is a bit convoluted. This is one of...
