• 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.

    2016 Spring Spyder Meet 'n' Eat - May 14th

    Sadly, it looks like Lise and I cannot make it. We found a major carpenter ant infestation in the attic this evening, and exterminator is coming in the morning... :( Would much rather be riding!

    Lamontset exhaust installed, along with sway bar and... more lights!

    Okay better late than never, here is a pic! Fender lights on, brake light not on because, well, my foot ain't way over there on the brake pedal... And of course the exhaust and the sway bar are down below. Now if the rain would just knock it off, we could go have a fun ride on her instead of...

    Lamontset exhaust installed, along with sway bar and... more lights!

    Just picked up Ruby, our 2015 RT-S, yesterday after having a boatload of parts put on. 1) Lamonster Performance Exhaust: I never liked the ACE engine note, in fact it was the one thing I really didn't like about the new bike (everything else was really great!). So I splurged on getting Lamont's...

    ADVANTAGES TO 2015 RT VS 2012 RT

    We traded in our 2011 RTS for a 2015 RTS last October. The motor, as you've seen, is the biggest improvement overall - vastly improved mileage, lower rpms, etc. Most of the other posters have listed the other items, although collectively they are not as big as the various things the 1330...

    Freedom Trailer Cover question

    I have the cover and just put it on for the first time yesterday, as I was packing things away for the winter. I don't know if it is waterproof (yet) but it looks like it is. It is a thinner material than the Spyder travel cover, but seems adequate. It fits quite snugly all around the trailer, I...

    Spyder in the Snow???

    I rode to work once after a snow, and the roads were still slushy and icey. I only did it because my car was in the shop and I had to get to work. Let's just say it was way more exciting than I liked. The back tire did lots of fish tailing around.

    Girls on Spyders

    That could be it. I know they posted on the site that when they go to check, if they don't see pics of Spyders or something related to riding they can't tell if it is a spam request. As my public facing FB page doesn't have a Spyder pic that may have been why mine was delayed. Send me a PM...

    Lamonster nbv vs fbb highway pegs?

    Neither set of brackets impacts the servicing requirements of the bike. For the NBV brackets, at least, you just have to take off and put back on the one tupperware piece on each side for the install, but that is it. I am most definitely not at all handy with tools but I was able to install...

    Girls on Spyders

    It does, though it may take the admins a few days to get you added. I submitted a request, some time passed, and in the end SpyderAnn helped me out and sent a message to one of the admins. My join request seemed to have dropped off or something by then, but when I did it again they added me.

    Lamonster nbv vs fbb highway pegs?

    I can't speak to the fbb, but I have the nbv. I am 5' 7" and the nbv works good for me, the fbb might be better for someone with longer legs or who wants to have their feet out wider. The NBV's mount to the frame and are quite sturdy. I used the Kuryaken mini floor boards for the pegs so I had...

    Upgraded today to a 2015 RT-S

    Thank you! And... we have the trailer hitch installed now, and we've brought home our Freedom Trailer, which we've named Lemming. :thumbup:

    Template for floor of Freedom Trailer?

    Yes, I think the blue painting tape is a good idea - probably less sticky residue.
