• 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.

    Mirrors that mount on ends of handlebars

    I want to get better coverage than I get from the stock rear-view mirrors. I can't get mirror extenders without also changing my windshield so these types of mirrors looked like a good option.

    Mirrors that mount on ends of handlebars

    Thank you both - knowing the right search terms is everything these days. I had tried "motorcycle handlebar mirrors" and "handlebar mirrors" among other terms... "bar end" was the elusive term that got me where I needed to go. Thanks again!

    Mirrors that mount on ends of handlebars

    I came across a helmet-cam video on YouTube where two guys were riding their Spyders in the snow. At about 11:45 into the video they pull into a large open space and as they walk around their bikes you can see that one of the bikes has rear-view mirrors that mount on the ends of the handlebars...

    Considering buying a 2009 GS 55 R but it's 400 miles away!

    I don't even have a bike yet, I'm just trying to do my homework about what I may need with a 2009 GS and the ramifications of getting it. I saw the 1" block and thought that it was the same as a "riser." Thanks to Wileyc I have discovered what risers really are and yes, I saw that they...

    Considering buying a 2009 GS 55 R but it's 400 miles away!

    Thank you for the info. Were the controls and wiring ok for a 3" riser or did you have to modify them so it would fit? Is this the one you got? http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Spyder-Handlebar-Riser-219400134/dp/B0035QDIG4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1445026803&sr=8-2&keywords=spyder+riser

    Considering buying a 2009 GS 55 R but it's 400 miles away!

    Wow! A lot of helpful info in a very short time... thanks to every one. Brett: by "base ST" are you referring to a newer model or is there a 2008/2009 ST? What is the first year that they made an ST-model? I'm going to try to get out today to look at the 2008 that's for sale at a dealer. It...

    Considering buying a 2009 GS 55 R but it's 400 miles away!

    I've found a 2009 GS 55 R but it's 450 miles away so I have a couple of questions that perhaps you can answer before I fly up there to drool on it in person (!) If it's a go, then I get to ride it home! What is the seating position? I am more of a touring/cruising rider than a "sport" rider but...
