• 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.

    Well, I did it. Spyder ST

    I have a 2013 RS. No problems yet. I have noticed a little heat on my left leg. I moved it out from the bike a few inches to allow some ventilation. So far, so good. --CH

    'B' trip meter - do you use it

    :agree: That's what I always did with the Goldwing and I plan to do the same with the Spyder. I have no trouble remembering when I did the last oil change. So far, I only have about 360 miles on the Spyder because of cold, rainy, snowy weather. I'm trying to spend the other 250 miles so as...

    New Alternator on 2014's Review

    :agree: Just what I was thinking. The alternator should keep the battery charged if the Spyder (or anything else) is ridden frequently. Here in AL, we have enough decent days, even in winter, to ride once every week or 2. Ride safely, CH

    What's best for Cleaning the Windshield? Anyone use Pledge?

    I have been using full strength peroxide for years on windshields, plastic and paint, no problems at all. Instead of H2O, it's merely H2O2, same ingredients as water, just different mixture with equal parts hydrogen and oxygen. Water is 2 parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. Ride safely, CH

    Have to vent... Love my Spyder

    I was beginning to wonder about that. Maintenance Plan and Warranty are related, but different. If someone else was paid to do a job, would you want to do it? I may be all wet on this, but that seems to me what it boils down to. Ride safely, CH

    Adjustable Handlebar Risers

    I would be very interested in knowing the answer to this. So far, short rides, there has been no need for risers, but long trips in the same position might cause some upper spine tension. We'll see. Ride safely, CH

    Ultimate Seat vs Corbin

    I've never sat on a Corbin but I understand they are firm. I had an Ultimate Midrider on a former bike. It was cushy but supportive and I LOVED it. I know it wasn't a Spyder seat, but it was made from the same material. Maybe someone else can tell you more about Corbins. Ride safely, CH

    Question

    Thanks, everyone for all the replies. The shield was already on order, but I realized I hadn't called the source to verify the fit in advance. The source was closed at the time that fact occurred to me. If this shield doesn't work out for one reason or another, I'll be open to considering...

    Question

    The bags were my wife's idea and I'm not protesting! This time of year, a shorty windshield just doesn't cut it, the wind, that is. I want a CB but will tackle that later on. I ride with my son who rides a 2005 ST 1300 with a J&M CB. We ride some overnighters and like to stay in touch. I...

    Question

    Thanks, folks. It didn't take long to decide a taller windshield would be needed. My crystal ball says the supplier's phone will be ringing Monday morning!:roflblack: The BRP hard bags are on order as well. Looking forward to many, many happy miles. Thanks again and ride safely, CH

    Question

    I have had a 2013 RS for about a week. I have decided I want a taller windshield. My question is: Will this Cee Bailey windshield fit a 2013 Spyder RS? Thanks in advance, CH...
