• 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.

    STURGIS 2013

    Been going to Sturgis for 15 years without a break. In 2010 switched from HD to RTS and only saw one other in Sturgis. This year I am guessing we must have seen 50 plus. Seems like us old guys are moving to comfort. I have a lot of heat on the RT, but nothing like my 2007 Glide. I was amazed...

    2013 Spyder RTS and Kewl Metal Performance Air Filter Kit

    I did this to both my RT 2010 and wifes 2008 GS.The crankcase vent is a larger diameter on both but the hose went on with a bit of washing up liquid as lubricant and a lot of twisting pushing and swearing.

    New corbin seat installation

    fitted my Corbin 3 years ago to my 2010 RTS and removed the pin. No movement at all when riding. I have the Corbin backrest and there is still a gap between seat and backrest. There are no "filler" panels I know of! SteveO

    Getting ready to order a Baja Ron RT sway bar?

    I ordered an RT sway bar, plugs and leads from Ron, Had to wait for Ron to get a batch in before he could ship, but no issues as soon as he received they were on their way to Calgary and arrived Canada Post. No duty to pay. Paid with PayPal again no issues. Too cold to fit at the moment! Doing...

    Kuryakyn ISO grips

    I have them on my 2010. Followed the instructions on this site, but ground the grip rather than the shifter. A real bugger to get the screws in as stated in a previous reply. Work really well, but left side snapped in one place about half way along does not effect them at all. I guess need to be...

    how do I remove peg and floorboard support

    Hi i did exactly what you are going to do. the brake side is a pain with a lot of juggling. Are you near Calgary? if so I can recommend Top Gun coatings as they did a great job. it was about $300 for all the aluminum powder coated satin black (I think it was called midnight) and the 300...

    Kuryakyn Iso grips

    You can fit ISO grips but you have to get the ones for a Goldwing that fit over the stock grips to retain the heat. Cannot remeber the part number but a search here will find. I think there is a fitting guide in the DIY section SteveO

    Muffler painting. Practical or problematic ?

    I use VHT on the turbo on my V-Rod and it lasts about 10k miles. Only issue is it is not only flat black but bordering on grey. Have the same issue on the wifes Spyder and was going to paint as others have said will still look better than the chipping. SteveO

    Vibration in handlebars at idle

    Vibration Scotty, You stated the engine mount clearance problem applies to 2010? I clearanced the rod to frame problem and that improved things. I did not realise the engine mount applies to the 2010s. Guess I better go look. SteveO

    Wind Shield

    Hi, I had Rifle make a custom screen for my V-Rod. Sent them the dimensions and curvature (how far set back is at the sides from the center) and they made me a screen. On the site is a Custom section where you can submit if I rember correctly. Note this was last year so should still do. I...

    Wind Shield

    Have you tried Rifle in the US they will make custom sceens in clear or smoked. If they think there is enough business they would add to their product line. They make for the RS. Rifle.com SteveO

    Battery Tender

    I leave 2 Spyders a Harley and at least one car on battery tenders all the time when not in use. Never had a problem and a Harley battery would last 6 years instead on the usual 2 - 3. Make sure you get a float charge, not a trickle charger. There are many other posts listing makes. SteveO
