• 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.

    How can I open the Turn Signal & Mirror Case without breaking something? Any thoughts?

    Thanks guys, I've got a service appt. next week and I was just trying to get ahead of the curve. One item to share with others; after repeated oil changes requiring the magic mirrors to be removed (6 to 7 times) the connection/plug for the turn signal failed on mine. The wires separated from the...

    How can I open the Turn Signal & Mirror Case without breaking something? Any thoughts?

    I did a search and found little information so I'll post this question. My right front turn signal is out and I'm curious about how to open the case without breaking something? I know there's tabs, but I'm not sure where they're located. Any thoughts?

    Feedback on the new Forum Format?

    It's fine, I don't visit as much during the winter months, but it certainly freshened things up.

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    My Winter Storage is rather simple. Fresh Gas, Pull the Batt. Park in Neutral/No Parking Brake and roll the wheels onto old carpet scraps. I also add Moth Crystals under the full cover to keep the rodents from moving in. Sleeps all winter and ready to wake up in the Spring!

    What are you paying for insurance? Who are you insured with?

    Inflation is a factor. I've also been told that there are many factors that affect our premiums. i.e. Credit Scores, Location, Claim History etc. But yeah, inflation is squeezing every dollar out of us right now.

    Be careful Riding When it's Too Hot! Hydrate & keep cool!!

    As the temperature climbed Saturday to a record 128 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley National Park, a group of motorcyclists became distressed by the extreme heat, and one of them died, a park ranger said. The motorcyclists were touring the park near Badwater Basin, a stretch of salt flats...

    Is the Glove box waterproof, before I learn the hard way?

    Honestly, I never thought to check. But yes, my 2016 glovebox is waterproof, there's a gasket that keeps the moisture out.

    Where to go in Wisconsin?

    Definitely include Door County. The peninsula has many places of interest. Restaurants, museums, plenty of back roads for exploring. While passing through Green Bay, take in the stadium tour at Lambeau Field. Lots to see and do in Northeastern Wisconsin.

    2020 Top Box Will Not Remain Open - any solutions?

    I just replaced mine. I ordered it from Lamonster Garage. Excellent service, the right part, along with instructions, arrived all in a few short days. (And for far less than $79.95)

    2020 RTL coolant leak

    I had a leak last summer, cracked reservoir. I had the dealer replace it, as there's very little room in there for my stubby fingers.:2thumbs:

    I put my Spyder to bed today, for A Long Winter's Sleep!

    Sad to say, I put the Spyder to bed today in advance a long Wisconsin Winter. We still have some nice days for riding short term but you'd have to bundle up to make it enjoyable. My routine is rather simple. I usually spend an afternoon detailing with lots of attention to the wheels and...

    Wondering why pictures get posted sideways?

    I've found that if the picture is too large (pixels) then the program posts it sideways. You can reduce the size by changing a setting on your phone camera or use one of many programs on-line that can resize it. I've used the PAINT program for resizing. It's easy to navigate and simple to use.
