• 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.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    Your last three paragraphs remind me of a niece whose husband owns a marine salvage company in LA and was called to appear at the Exxon corporate headquarters in Houston. He showed up in his normal work clothes and was approached by a guy in suit and tie who asked, "Who are you?" to which he...

    Is there a trick to getting the Right Rear Axle Cap for a 2022 Spyder RT on properly?

    Interestingly, the left and right rear axle caps for a 2010 through 2025 are exactly the same by part number; L=705501081, and R=705501022. you can see them at this link when you select the year and model Spyder, https://epc.brp.com/Index.aspx?lang=E&s1=441bf742-56c6-4d7b-9f81-b69368db7385.

    Here's my Strobe light controller for the trunk brake light.

    Custom Dynamics had a plug and play adjustable 10 selection pattern flasher I installed on my Spyder in July 2018. I drilled a hole in the upper right side of the trunk and mounted the flash pattern rotary switch. I learned several months after installing mine that the company discontinued the...

    New 2025 RTL with heavier steering than previous 2019 - anyone else noticed this? What would help?

    See my signature, a 2014 RT-S. If you put your year and model Spyder in your signature (see the linked Sticky below) viewers will see it and won't have to ask you what yours is if you ask a year and model specific question, nor will you have to type it each time you ask a question...

    New 2025 RTL with heavier steering than previous 2019 - anyone else noticed this? What would help?

    A popular alternative to Crapendas is the Vredestein Quatrac 165/60R15 that is listed in stock at Tire Rack, just confirmed stock status on phone. I have 5,000 on mine and they are the best front tire I've had on my Spyder

    Buying new 2023 RTL from dealer… any concerns from it sitting that long?

    Are they replacing the battery with a new Yuasa or one of the cheap Chinese ones? If the latter, you should try to get them to replace it with a Yuasa YTX24HL-BS.

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    No one raises prices to clear out old inventory, except on classic Ferraris and other mega buck cars.

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    If I lived where you do, I'd put the whole thing in the cooler until next Spring. Unless you're expecting a long Indian Summer, you might not have enough time this year to learn how you like the Y ryding.

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    How many miles on the F3? I'm frugal; wife calls it World Class Cheap. I have almost 95K on the odo and it's doing just fine. Statistically, I'm not going to outlive her, so everything I do focuses on her wellbeing after I've checked out. Last and most important, I'm unimpressed with what I read...

    Front trunk seal separated from lower seal - do they just glue together?

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    JC is right in the bull's-eye about BaseCamp. It is still a very functional, effective route creation tool, but is one with a steep learning curve. In my travails with it I've found two very good sources for learning the software. The first is the New England Riders tutorial on learning...

    Anyone know what these things on the front wheels are?

    Saw a lot of them when I worked in a marina as a kid. They were called Bearing Buddies at the time.

    Anyone tried Painting a Kott grill cover? How, and how did it work out?

    What is the year and model of your Spyder? If you put that in a signature you won't have to answer each time you ask a question. (see page #7 in the link) Why paint stainless steel? If it was a worthy idea the manufacturer would sell multiple colors...
