• 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.

    It's Not The 4th Of July....

    I cringe everytime I hear some say "Happy Memorial Day". That tells me that they have no clue as to what Memorial Day is supposed to be about.

    CanAm's Learn To Ride Course?

    I signed my wife up for the course last March. She has never had an interest in learning how to ride (2 wheel or the Spyder) but we had a bike trip coming up in April and she needed to be licensed in case she needed to take over driving. I have health issues. $75 for the course and she gets...

    RTL Front Wheels

    Wife said I should get new rims for my 2014 RTL. I'm looking for black in a matte finish. I see there is one sponsor here that sells wheels but they are glossy black. Anyone know of where I can get what I'm looking for?

    Where to position Spyder on a trailer?

    From the specs on the Aluma site for the trailer I bought, it just says "Weight: 800#" and then the page also has "Swivel tongue jack, 800# capacity" https://www.alumaklm.com/recreational/atv/utv/ut14-utv-trailer

    Where to position Spyder on a trailer?

    Howdy, I just purchased an Aluma UT14 trailer to haul my Spyder behind our motorhome. Got a good deal on it. My question for the gurus out there is this. Since the trailer is much longer (14') than the Spyder, should I place the Spyder all the way to the front of the trailer (and therefore...

    My Spyder let me down today

    I have a 2014 RTL and I've one time where the "parking brake" would not disengage. The problem was that my brake fluid was low enough to trigger the nanny to keep the brake locked. How low was my brake fluid? I put a tablespoon if brake fluid in the reservoir that is under the seat and...

    Tag-along Trailer

    We had a tag-along that we had used behind a Gold Wing. Worked great but when we moved from the Wing to the Spyder, we sold the trailer to some friends. They and other friends have been all over the country with the trailer. Some things I did to it right as soon as I got it home: 1. Remove...

    Voltage meter and clock

    Something to keep in mind with the Glow Shift gauges. They are not water proof or water resistant. After replacing a couple of times because they got rained on, I just went back to the stock gauges.

    This is what I asked Bob D...

    About 15 years ago, the company I work for had us located in an office complex in San Antonio. The office building has a parking garage and also open lot parking. There was a waiting list to get a parking garage card (controlled by the building owners, not the company I work for). I got on...

    TRAILER QUESTION - Harbor Freight

    I use to have one of the Harbor Freight Tag-A-Long trailers. Used it when I had a Gold Wing. When I got the Spyder, I didn't like the looks of the factory hitch, so we sold the trailer to some friends. I have another friend who liked it some much that he bought one and did the same mods I...

    Standard Items with 2014 RT Limited

    I have a 2014 RT Limited and here is a run down on what it would have come with: - Rolling luggage bag that fits in the frunk. No bags for the side storage or the trunk. - Garmin 660 GPS with a case. The GPS should have a micro SD card in it but I can't remember the size. I replaced the SD...
