• 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.

    Retailers finally getting caught not posting product reviews below 4 stars!

    As a consumer, I hate dishonest companies. If you shop at a company that has all 4 and 5 star reviews on their products, then something deceiving is going on. I have posted less than 4 star reviews, only to have them not show up in the reviews. Sell with integrity. Shop with caution.

    Retailers finally getting caught not posting product reviews below 4 stars!

    Retailers that do not post all customer reviews, including bad reviews, are finally getting caught. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/retailer-fashion-nova-suppressed-negative-online-reviews-2-4m-going-customers I know of several retailers that do this, including one on this website.

    Is Purchasing a RT S 2015 with only 1,800 miles a good idea?

    I'm sure the fuel in the tank has long since expired. Take a sniff.

    I need help identifying a mystery part.

    Definitely not a factory Spyder part.

    Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?

    Mine is powered through an axillary fuse box from big bike parts.

    Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?

    Just type in "motorcycle android auto" on Amazon and many options will come up. Some even have dual dashcams and tire monitoring.

    Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?

    Got my new wireless Android Auto screen installed. It works perfect! Nice bright anti glare screen. It is the 5.98" screen from Amazon. The only modification I made was adding a Ram ball to mount it to the Spyder. The ball that comes with it is smaller than a RAM ball and their ball mount...

    Replace the screen or the whole Instrument Cluster on 2014 ST-S? And How?

    If you found the exact same TFT screen on Aliexpress, I would go that route. If you change the whole cluster, I believe it has to be mated to the bike using BUDS.

    OEM external amplifier on Spyder - where is it and how does it mount?

    I know exactly where the amp is. I have removed it and added my own amp. If you look up in the left wheelwell, behind the ECM, you will find it. It can be removed pretty easily. Only 2 bolts hold it in and are accessible under the left headlight when you open the frunk. Remove the bolts...

    Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?

    I ordered an Android Auto screen for my S2S. I bought the larger screen though. It will be here friday. I am replacing my GPS with it. The GPS I had would run some apps, as it was an android GPS, but it would not run the apps I wanted. I want to run Waze and google maps on a larger, brighter...

    Anyone else having problems with a Sticking hazard switch?

    2021 S2S. Anyone else having problems with a sticky hazard switch? My Spyder spends life in a garage and rarely sees water, but the darn hazard switch is sticking. Tried some dry lube, but problem persists. I don't want to disassemble the LH switch because the throttle spring can be a pain.

    I installed 16 inch wheels...

    Where did you get the carbon fiber splitter? I want one!

    Anyone with '20+ Spyders tried Front Fender Lighting fm ShowChrome & TricLED?

    I have custom dynamics on my 2014 RT, and they have worked flawlessly for years. I have TRICLED on my 2021 S2S and I am on my 3rd set. The durability of the TricLED lights is terrible. I will admit they do stand behind their products, but I dont like having to replace them every year.

    Installed auxiliary lights & now have FM radio static - any RF Resistors to fix this?

    LED lights will cause FM radio interference. You can try putting a choke on the wires but it may not help. They are available on amazon really cheap. Basically a magnet that clamps on to the wires. You might even have an electronic device in your home with one you can remove and try before...

    There is an interesting Can-Am in Korea.

    I have 16 inch PPA wheels. Not sure they are available anymore. The tires are Achilles ATR-K 165/50-R16. Absolutely no issues. I have 4 different sets of wheels for my RT and run the 16's because I like the ride and handling the best.
