• 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.

    BajaRon's Sway-bar

    Sway Bar I had the BajaRon Sway Bar installed and laser alignment done at a dealership in Cartersville. Huge improvement, especially when riding 2 up. No cons to report.:thumbup:

    Slingshot on the road.

    Slingshot I bought one one of the first ones in Ohio. It wasn't my thing. Kept it a couple months then traded it. Both my wife and I like the Spyder much better.

    That smell...

    Just got back from a ride. Pulled it into the garage and shut the door so the air was still and proceeded with the sniff test. It is positively coming off the belt. Couldn't smell anything from the engine area and everything was dry (no oil or coolant) under the plastic cowling (tupperware?)...

    That smell...

    You have described it exactly.

    That smell...

    The last 2 times I have returned from a ride and parked in the garage there is a strong "hot" smell emanating from the Spyder. There is nothing dripping underneath that I can see and with 425 miles on it, I would think any residuals from manufacturing or assembly would be long gone. Has anyone...

    What exactly does a Sway bar do for riding comfort??

    Sway bar has arrived! I have 200 miles now on the bike, mostly practicing in the twisties. I can feel exactly where the sway bar is going to help. As long as I load the suspension to the outside prior to entering a turn it is reasonably stable. If I don't, it's mid-turn corrections and an...

    Pitbull Shock Relocator Install?

    What do the shock relocators do for the bike? I'm in the process ordering the sway bar and links from Bajaron and have found a place to do the laser alignment but haven't run across anything about shock relocation on the Spyder. Thanks.

    It' finally in the garage..

    Went to Ohio this past weekend to make the official move to Georgia and, more importantly, pickup the new RTS SE6. It will take a little getting used to but this thing is a hoot. It's sneaky quick, really smooth and comfortable, and hates cross winds. Can't wait till the rain quits so I can...

    Extended Warranty

    Be careful with extended warranties that are not from the manufacturer. I'm not saying that there aren't good ones out there, but there is long history of aftermarket warranty companies going out of business and people getting stuck. I paid $750.00 for a 3 year BEST warranty from my dealer.

    Laser Alignment and Swaybar

    Thanks to everyone for the welcome and info. My dealer said the bike is in and I'll pick it up next week. Can't wait to try it out. After reading all the posts it looks like there's one more item that I'm going to have to add to the list... Pam, where can I get the missile system?:thumbup:

    Was there a noticeable improvement?

    Laser Alignment and Swaybar

    Thanks for the link. I haven't yet thrown a leg over the bike and will see how it is before spending any $$. Just seems like everything that I have read about setting up a Spyder for 2 up touring has included those 2 items. I'm a reasonable wrench but I think if I can get the sway bar...

    Laser Alignment and Swaybar

    I have just purchased a 2015 RTS SE6 which is my first journey into Spyderdom. It sounds like a laser alignment and sway bar should be high on my list of first mods and I have a couple questions First, where does one get a laser alignment performed? Second, is the sway bar a home garage...
