• 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.

    Anyone tried using the 10.25" touchscreen to show TPMS from FOBO2?

    I have a '23 with the Carpuride screen that I use with Apple Car Play, and FOBO does show up on that screen. So I'm guessing it would work on your '24 with Apple CarPlay.

    Looking for Battery recommendations & sources to order from?

    JC honest question here. Other than the factory battery coming with the acid in it and the BS having to be filled by the end user isn't it the same battery? If the end user follows the directions that comes with the battery (letting it soak and then charging) after filling I would think the BS...

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Tom your motorcycle endorsement if you still have it should be all you need in AZ. I hope so since that is what I have.

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    Gwolf no not at all. I confirmed the Timken bearings were counterfeit by using the (World Bearing Assoc) WBA App on my iPhone. Timken on their website suggests using this app to confirm if bearings purchased were manufactured by a Timken Plant in the USA or another country, or by a...

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    I totally agree. They did not really seem to care. Like I said earlier, Amazon four bad, NAPA four bad, and the Distributor three out of four counterfeit. Phil up above got me a lead on SKF and NSK and will be using one of those manufacturers. Found some SKF bearings locally. Thanks to everyone...

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    Mikey, no problem, I appreciate all comments. Former mechanic here so just like to be certain that my gear is in top shape. I just acquired both of these trailers so I had no history with them. Both had Chinese bearings in them so I purchased the Timken's. I am a firm believer in Timken, except...

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    Probably will have to do that, but just tired of dealing with Timken. Also they will have to order in and then I wait and hope that what they get is real. I doubt Timken sold the counterfeit bearings to the distributor so where else is the distributor buying from? That's why I am asking if...

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    Not saying that Timken Corp sold them, but one of their Distributors, as well as Amazon and NAPA. There is an APP on Apple that is called WBA that you scan the QR code on the box and it states if it is reported by Timken as counterfeit or legit. I'll try to post a picture of the scan. - -...

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    I have two TimeOut trailers. One Camper Deluxe and the other is the Dart. They both use Timken Bearing/Race Set 4 (L44649/L44610). I purchased some from Amazon and NAPA and according to the WBA App (World Bearing Association) all of those were counterfeit. I went to Timken's web site and found a...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    And that works with the pack rats as well? Like you I have a lot of State Land and Natural Area around my house in Cave Creek.

    Anyone Added a large (7") Carplay Display screen to a Spyder RT?

    If you use the mount that comes with the carpuride it uses a special nut/wrench to tighten and loosen it. That's on the arm part. On the handlebar mount it uses a standard nut, but it is a lock nut. I carry the special wrench in my glove box so if leaving the bike for an extended period I can...

    Curious if others have had battery issues with newer OEM Batteries?

    Took ownership of my new 2023 RTL in August. Just had the battery replaced under warranty this week 12/3/24. Replacement was a YUASA.
