• 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.

    Headlight bulb replacement - what are the bulb types?

    Yup. I try to avoid anything with a fan or a ballast. LEDs are low current draw and shouldn't need either (IMO). And thanx for the info by the way.

    Headlight bulb replacement - what are the bulb types?

    Still working on my widowed neighbors 2009 Spyder 990. Someone replaced the headlights with HID lights and I have never liked them. Only one of the three are working. I want to replace them with LED lights. I found the two main lights are H7's, but I'm trying to find what the other two bulbs...

    Spyder stuck in reverse

    I just had the same issue, stuck in reverse, brake pressed, kill switch off, still no start. Bumped the shifter lever below the drive belt, and VIOLA, it started. And I of course discovered it is a ratchet shifter.

    Is there any way to get the codes other that a BUDS scanner?
