• 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 Rally - August 18-20 Council Bluffs, IA --- SPYDERFEVER

    Brother Chico, I'm sure you guys have a great event, and I look forward to attending some time! It is a great thing to have so many events to choose from, and it was just bad luck this year. I think SOAR was trying to avoid a conflict with Sturgis. Unfortunately, I won't be at Spyderfest this...

    I'm with DGoebel in being disappointed this is the same weekend as Spyder Rendezvous. I thought maybe I had a new event to check out. :( Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

    When to Farkle.....SpyderFest?

    I have absolutely no mechanical talent, and a toolbox to match! But I was able to install my Ultimate seat at home, all by myself, in under an hour. Everything else I've had done by the pros. Deke

    Difference between 2015 RTS and 2015 RTS Special

    Also special rims on the RT-S Special Series, as well as different stitching on the seat. Deke

    Wind noise for 2015 RT-S Special Edition

    There is definitely much more wind on my 2015 RT-S SE with the shorter windshield than there was with my 2012 RT A&C. And I have more bugs and all the other negatives mentioned. That said, it looks so darn good, I'm not changing it! And lest you think I'll change my mind when I ride it more...

    ultimate seat question

    I just installed a Tallboy on my 2015 RT-S Special Series. My wife and I did a 200-mile ride Saturday, and I absolutely loved it! The riding position was quite different, but it didn't take much to get used to. Even with my wife on board, I used the driver backrest. She said it was okay, and...

    Questions concerning 2015 sponsored Spyder Events

    After paying $30,000 for my Spyder, $3,000 for gear, thousands of dollars in mods and farkles, and hundreds of dollars in hotel costs to go to an event, I find it hard to get my righteous indignation up over an event registration that equals the cost of a hoodie, and actually having to buy my...

    Check-in on your ryde home from SpyderFest '15

    Deke and Sara made it home! This probably sounds like no big deal, but we made it home by ambulance and wrecker after last year's Spyderfest, so we're relieved to have made it home on 3 wheels this time! Deke

    Terrible front end shimmy …….

    My 2012 RT would get a crazy shimmy as you describe at the same speed. It wasn't all the time, but when it happened it was crazy scary. I took it to Spyderfest last year, and it turned out it was worn out A-Arm bushings. Len's team replaced the bushings and I never had the problem again. Deke

    Paint Job!

    I probably should have turned on the key so the SpyderPops bump skid with the LEDs were lit up. Next time! Deke
