• 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.

    Traded RT for 2021 F3 limited!

    Congratulations Duke. I traded a 2018 RT for a 2017 F3. The RT is a beautiful bike. I've been wanting one for a long time, but it just didn't have enough legroom for me. The 2020's and 21 RTL's are much more ergonomic for a guy with a bad hip, but I couldn't afford the new RT. It was 28...

    To those that switched from an 1330 Rt-s to an F3 limited

    I just traded my 2018 RT SM6 with 300 miles and a factory warranty for a used 2017 F3 Limited with 6000 miles because I have a bad hip and knee and I just could not ride the RT. I took the passenger backrest pad off my Harley to sit on and prop me up to get my legs stretched out enough to...

    Blue Ridge Windshield on the F3 = Crazy backdraft

    This is a timely conversation for me. I just traded my RT for a 2017 F3 Limited. I love it, but my wife is not diggin' the wind she's getting sitting behind me. She's about 5' 7" so she's perched pretty high. I found a used F4 Customs 21" windshield with the vent for $200. I was planning on...

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    No problem Bluenight, my wife talked me into test riding an F3 Limited this morning. It was 28 degrees, but what a blast. I am so comfortable on the F3 I can't believe it. It's a used 2017 F3 with a comfort seat. The dealer gave me an amazing deal on the trade. I broke even on the deal and...

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    RICZ, my wife and I were planning on going to a local dealer to test ride an F3 Limited this weekend. But, I live about 50 miles east of Buffalo NY and we got another round of snow yesterday. They were spreading salt on the roads yesterday afternoon. I don't feel right about taking the...

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    Blueknight, you're the man. If you have pictures of what you did, that would be awesome. I'm planning on attaching a bracket on the back of the floorboard that bolts into the passenger floorboard mount. I'm also going to make a bracket on the front that bolts to the frame somewhere to...

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    Thanks ARtraveler. I appreciate everyone's input. I'm new to the Spyder world. I've been riding 2 wheels for 50 years... mostly cruiser style and cruiser/touring style bikes. I've been researching Spyders for a long time, but I didn't sit on enough to make an educated decision. I sat on a...

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    Snoking, my wife and I are going to go to a nearby dealer and do some test riding Saturday (weather permitting). She wants me to trade for a different bike that's comfortable for me. I want to fix the one I have. Some people call it stubborn. I call it determination.

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    Thanks Spyderman. I live in western NY. Near 70 degrees today. They are calling for "several inches of wet snow" tomorrow into Thursday. I won't be riding for a few days, I may as well work on the floorboards. I'll be sure to share my progress.

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    Hahaha, ya I may have been a bit hasty in my purchase. I did get a smokin' deal on it. It was a dealers ryder instruction bike. It has 200 miles on it and it came with a new bike warranty all for $15,500.

    Question about floorboards - anyone see a problem with these?

    I have a 2018 RT SM6. I got it a couple of weeks ago. I replaced my Yamaha Venture because I have a bad hip and knee. I love the Spyder, but there's no leg room and my hip and knee are so stiff, I can't even move them off the foot peg to get them on a highway peg. I've looked at the...

    Parking brake / will not shift 2014 RTL

    I just got my first Spyder last week. It's a 2018 RT SM6. My brother and I drove 8 hours to get it from a dealer in Virginia. I got a smoking deal on it. It was a unit used for teaching Spyder riders. It has 200 miles on it and 20 moths of warranty remaining. I got it for $15,500. The dealer...

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome Ellyess to SL

    New to Spyder. Hey, thanks for letting me into the forum. I just got my first Spyder RT SM6. It's a 2018. I took it on my first ride yesterday. I live in western NY where it was snowing and 34 degrees yesterday so the ride was short. I have a bad hip and I noticed the seeting position is going...
