• 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.

    Cooling Vest

We usually re-wet them at every stop. We have worn them both over a light shirt and under also. Probably...

    Cleaning the "chrome" pieces on the RT.

    :agree: I use the Turtle Wax Ice on just about every part if the Spyder except the tires and seat. Sure makes the bug juice clean off easier.

    Madstad footrests - heat issues?

    I took the pan off and used my holesaw to put 3 - 4" holes in the pan. I also drilled a couple of smaller ones and put it back on. We have ridden many days in the West Texas heat with no problems since then. Although I haven't heard or read anything about any problems just leaving it off either...

    2011 Limited - Heat Problems

    Get both the block-off plate and the cat shields. As far as taking it apart, only one panel needs to come off. The cat shields do require that a couple of bolts on each side be loosened but that's it. Took me maybe 30 minutes total to install both products. The wife and I went on a 200 mile ryde...

    SpyderPops Heat Management

    Last week I ordered the RT Radiator Block-Off Plate and the RT Cat Shields from SpyderPops. They arrived yesterday and I got them installed late last night. I removed the right side splash guard as required and noticed a single wire connected to the bottom of the crankcase. I have no idea what...

    What Color?

    Remember the full name of the blue? Orbital Blue!! By far the fastest color, although I might be a little prejudiced.
