• 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.

    Conventional vs Reverse Trike Discussion

    You have my favorite Corvette of them all, and when the C7 came out it reminded so much of the early C3 I had to have one. So much fun. Here's mine.

    Ikon Front Shocks - Who Uses 'Em & What Do You Think?

    I agree, with my RTL I have slowly replaced all the suspension, first the sway bar with Baja Ron's Ultra, then the shocks with Elka's and last the tires. But that's over a 4 year span since my RTL is a 2022. But not because I am an incredibly aggressive rider all the time, but more to gain the...

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    I used one of these. Previously it had a phone holder attached. https://www.lamonstergarage.com/lamonster-bar-clamp-with-1-ram-ball-for-can-am-spyder-f3-rt-2020-canyon/?searchuuid=b9b3aa7d-58f9-4b00-929c-52337ac294b1&search_query=Lamonster®+Bar+Clamp

    TIME FOR UPGRADES on my 2024 RT-L - which of these do you recommend?

    I had about 9500 miles on the stock tire, and although I am a pretty conservative rider most of the time, it was starting to look like the tread depth was pretty shallow. After reading the comments for several years now of people far more knowledgeable than I on Spyders, I did what I usually try...

    Does my Spyder have a bell? Is it to warn of changing gears?

    Or maybe they got it as a gift from a well meaning loved one who's feelings they didn't want to hurt?

    Front wheel hop when braking - suspension arm bushes, or... ?? Any help?

    I had a tiny little bit of this going on before I had the brakes replaced with EBC pads and rotors, had a fluid flush, and got new Vredestein tires. Baja Ron's shop did the work so I am not sure if they saw anything else and just corrected it while working on my bike, or if it was the brakes or...

    TIME FOR UPGRADES on my 2024 RT-L - which of these do you recommend?

    I am very fortunate to live in Tennessee about 200 miles from Baja Ron's shop in east Tennessee. I am a wrench turner so I do as much as I can when I can get my hands to work properly so I had already done Elka shocks on the front and Ron's ultra sway bar the year before, but I hadn't replaced...

    Fitted new EBC pads, now I have a Brake noise - anyone else? Any fixes?

    Yes they do! And brace yourself and hang on if you ever have to do a panic stop.

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    Since I have a 2022 Spyder I added an Aoocci device which brings reliable CarPlay to the trike. It also has front and rear dash cams. It's been flawless for over a year. - -

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Sad that society hasn't caught up to the fact that you are just as impaired using a phone while driving as you are driving under the influence. The only difference is the impairment stops when the phone is put down.

    Need a low profile lift table recommendation

    I think you will like it. I use mine for some things, a regular floor jack for some, and a motorcycle jack for other things. It is an incredibly useful design and in a regular 2 car garage, being able to move it against the wall saves a lot of space.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I took my trip to Greeneville, TN yesterday and rode home today. I went to Baja Ron's for them to install my rear Elka shock and they also did EBC rotors and pads, a belt tensioner, car tires front and rear, and flushed the brake fluid. Ron bedded in the brakes on a test ride himself. I got a...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Made my appointment with BajaRon’s shop for August 5th. Can’t wait! Should be a beautiful ride from Lebanon to Greeneville.
