• 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.

    Handle bar play

    Any ideas... Handle bars have left/right play about 15 degrees. Was there when picked up bike, but not as much. at 300 miles, noticeable to point of some roads not being safe to go down. Took it in for repair (and added riser) but now only slightly better, has a minor catch midway in the play...

    Top Questions

    I get alot of the "does is steer from the back?" question About 25% of the time the cops pull me over (to see what it is), they'll ask "is it fast?" Like I'll give them a straight answer on that one. duckster

    Laminar Lips

    Duckster, You can get a product called a "Super Visor" which will mount to the shield of any full face helmet. Works just like the visor on a motorcross helmet. Great for riding into the sun. You'll find ads for them in just about any motorcycle magazine. One note on mounting, roughen the areas...

    Celebrity feeling - shot by Police

    Finally got a chance to ride my Spyder. Went to my office and was inside adding padding to my helmet (trying to lessen wind noise) and heard the front door open. As it's Sunday, I shouldn't be having company. Went out to the lobby and was met with a few of out town's finest. Now you know I'm...

    The touring windshield is useless

    Hey Marcel, looks good. Can't tell if there's a flip at the top. Seems that the flip is rather important, or else just the height. Do you change the angle so that it raises more straight up? Any concerns about the ability of the bolts and plastic to handle the extra stress of more wind at more...

    Trailer Hitch - Any news Lamonster?

    I've seen the swing arm mounted hitch, looks good and attaches easy. But since you've had experience with towing, and it sounds like you'd stay away from swing arm mounts, there must be a reason. And that is....? Looking at the photos in this area, it looks like it'd be easy to attach bags to...

    Laminar Lips

    It's been a few weeks since you obtained your Laminar Lips... so, after a few rides, are you still happy with it? Do you get wind blast and wind noise in the helmet? I just put on the touring windshield I got with the bike, and would have to have a full face helmet. I like the motocross visor...

    Fenders

    Thanks for the close up of the fog lights. It would be hard to miss something with that many lights comming towards you, so those should help. I couldn't tell if those block a functional air duct to the radiator though, but I'm sure the manufacturer wouldn't offer an accessory that would be a...

    Fenders

    Yup, that's it. Looking at the rear tire again... I think that fender with the dealers billboard decal (that wasn't supposed to be applied!) could easily be sacrificed. With the brake light relocated it should be good to go. As much as I like the look without the front fenders, I 'll have to...

    Laminar Lips

    Thanks for fast reply. I only had 0.5 mile ride from dealship to home on cold day. I keep a dark motocross visor on my helmet for riding into the sun but even in that short ride, I realized the wind comming off the windshield, moto visor and open helmet made for major wind and tearing. I'm...

    Laminar Lips

    The windshield is a delema for me. I purchased a tour model but haven't taken it out of the packaging yet. Let us know how the lip works on the touring model. I'm not far from Windsor so getting one from either the states of Canada is no problem. thankc duckster

    Fenders

    I was looking at a bare front fender today, seems the channel in the middle would be for strength and the plastic diverter at the bottom to channel water away during wet conditions, especially with turns. I could see re-mounting the front marker lights on a shortened fender, but would worry...
