• 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.

    Aftermarket sounds... How do I make something work?!

    I installed an XM receiver in the glove box of my 2018 RTL. I pulled 12V from the unused accessory fuse and connected the audio output to the AUX plug with a 3.5 mm male to male barrel connecter. I had to select the "high" audio out setting on the receiver to get sufficient volume. I initially...

    Sirius/XM radio antenna - mounting location?

    I had problems with the stock antenna supplied with my Onyx XM radio, mounted to the top of the trunk on my 2018 RTL. Since most of my rides are with my wife as a passenger, I noticed signal loss in certain directions of travel, probably due to the fact that the antenna was only about 8 inches...

    Kenda K9's

    Has anyone had experience with Kenda K9's compared to the original stock Kendas? I am just about due for a new rear tire on my 2018 RTL, and am considering the K9 as a replacement.

    Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

    Our 2018 RTL replaced our GL1800 Goldwing for two-up touring, but I still ride my H-D Road King solo almost every day.

    Harley-Davidson CEO Resigns

    I Have owned over 30 motorcycles in the 50+ years I been riding, starting with a Honda S-90. Most were Japanese bikes including several Goldwings. I sold the last Goldwing, a GL1800, about 4 years ago because I no longer felt confident touring with the wife on the 800+ pound bike. We sold the...

    2018 RTL XM radio?

    I posted regarding the installation of the XM "Onyx" radio on my 2018 RT Ltd several months ago. The most time consuming part of the installation was removing plastic body panels to run wiring. I Velcro mounted the control head in the glove box and mounted the antenna, also with Velcro, to the...

    New RTL-a keeper

    That Yarnell ride is a good one. I used to do that quite often when I lived in the Valley. It would be a long ride from here in Payson. We used to stop at the Ranch House at the top of the hill for breakfast. If you ever plan a ride up this way up this way, PM me. I would enjoy meeting up for a...

    Morning Ride to Tortilla Flat

    Rode that route many times over the years on two wheels, but I don't think I've ever done it on the Spyder. Enjoy!!

    New Years Day Ride every year for over 50 years

    Hey Dave, I feel your pain. Back (50+) years ago when I was in high school, I broke my leg on a motorcycle. Even though the break was in the tibia between the ankle and the knee, I was put in a full plaster cast up to my hip for almost 6 months. I was on crutches and could not even drive my old...

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    I've owned several Goldwings, and the wife and I have put a lot of miles on them. Just like the Beemer (I love the RT's), the Goldwings do feel heavy at low speeds. A couple years ago I found myself feeling very apprehensive pulling into a crowded Urban area after a long day on the road. I just...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake not releasing again

    I had the same problem , multiple times, with my 2018 RT Limited. I finally took it to the dealer who replaced the cable and actuator motor under warranty. So far, so good. However, I recently ran across one of Shawn Smoak's videos discussing the problem. Shawn is probably one of the most...

    How many here rode a motorcycle to high school?

    Like Gwolf I started on a Honda S-90 at 16, followed by a Honda 305 Superhawk within a year. I graduated in '67 and at last count I've owned around 30 motorcycles.

    Amp for 2019 spyder rt limited

    I have a 2018 RT Limited and find the 6 speaker audio system to be quite adequate. With the ambient auto audio volume increase feature on I get plenty of volume at freeway speeds.
