• 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.

    Going Down Memory Lane; Show Us Your First Motorbikes & Your Current Spyder

    I had one of those and a later 110 model. They had the worst front fork angle, that made them handle different than a normal motorcycle. Fail to make a hill and they free wheeled backwards down the hill, so one had to lay it down right away if you did not make a hill. Other than that they were...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I don't. Two separate airing situations. The Ryobi has a standard little lever you push down/over to lock onto the valve stem. Very easy on the front wheels. On the rear, I use one hand to push it onto the valve stem and the other to operate the lever. The Ryobi pump has it's own pressure gauge...

    I use a Magic Creeper. Just don't step on it, as you may end up on your butt. https://magiccreeper.com

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    That is for OEM Kenda tires. I ran a General Altimax RT45 car tire out back and Vredesteins on the front at 16.

    Thoughts on ever-changing vehicle needs and wants

    I love my F-150, just would like to shrink it to a size between it and the Rangers! 🤓

    Thoughts on ever-changing vehicle needs and wants

    I am at a turn point regarding a vehicle. I no longer will be towing a Spyder back and forth AZ to WA, WA to AZ, as I have two. I sold the KRX 1000 last December, and it was the reason I went from a 2020 Ford Edge ST to the current 2021 F150 with the 2.7L Eco-boost. The F150 is a great road...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I was able to route the Ryobi inflation valve between the wheel/tire and sprocket, and lock it on the valve stem, and inflate the rear tire.

    Location of the valve stem... anyone ever move it?

    This is a really old thread!

    Welding for fun

    I am down to attaching the steel plate to the frame and putting a floor in the base for the welder to sit on. Outriggers installed today. When the gas bottle arrives, I will have to make a holder for it. I think I am going to drill through the plate and tap threads into the angle iron top...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I have one of those, used a lot on the SxS and truck. It worked air down also. Last time I aired up the Spyder I used this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-Cordless-High-Pressure-Inflator-Tool-Only-PCL001B/327406129 Set it for 16.5 for front tires and 18.5 for rear.

    In 1981 we bought a new construction home that had an arched fireplace in the living room. Before the first fire, I had DW get in the fireplace while I held a piece on cardboard up to the opening, and she traced the opening on her side of the cardboard with a sharpie. I bough two lengths of...

    Simder Mig-140PRO 5-in-1 on Amazona. I have a gas bottle on order along with pressure gauge. Welder is going to be on a shelf under the table, I am hoping the gas bottle will go there also. I have decide to build turn down feet outboard of the narrow side on each end of the cart/table. One inch...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    One would need a right hand air pump vs the left hand ones they currently use! If you used the left hand pump on the brake caliper side, it would suck the air out of the tire.

    Another picture. Hit two Goodwill stores to buy golf clubs, the SS Thermos bottle and bowls. Left hand clubs are harder to find.
