• 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.

What did you do to your Spyder today?

The Noco Lithium Battery and Genius 2 Charger/Maintainer that I ordered came in yesterday from Lamonster, Got the battery on the charger last night and installed it this morning. Taking a shower and nap since I had to work last night and changed the battery as soon as I got home. Once I get up I am heading out to enjoy the nice 80 deg. day we are supposed to have here.
 
Got in a 40-mile ride today in gorgeous sunshine. Had to scope out a route in my truck first, because there are many seriously flooded roads around after 19+ inches of rain fell Wednesday/Thursday. Only got the Spyder’s tires wet once - about 1/2 a mile from my house. But lots of water all around.
That's A LOT of rain!
 
Went to an open house at a dealership that was also doing free inspections and small work. Was hoping they could help me with the stuck passenger seat on my 2016 F3L Special Series. All they did was tell me they could order a new cable and make an appointment. They did however check the air in the tires, brakes, and oil level. They actually dropped the pressure in the tires to less than I care for (13-15 pounds in the front). I like to keep mine around 18.
 
Last Saturday we took the RT out for the first 2 up ride of the season. We rode to lunch and then visited an arboretum. Very warm for this early in the year with a high temperature of 81 degrees F. 110 miles for the day.
 
I had a Lamonster's NBV Highway Pegs Black Dymond LRG (Black) Gripper installed. Rode about 100 miles on highway and it made a world of difference. Can't wait to go on a long ride to test them out even more.

I have a very similar setup for my bike. Currently (as needed) just running the the power cord through the top of frunk cover and underneath windshield to power a GoPro that is mounted on the dash. Need to find some time to hide (route) the wires more cleanly--learning as I go. :-)

I put the Brake Free helmet light on the LS2 ADVANT X MODULAR

Those are great life savers! I have them on both of my helmets. Ride safe!

Installed these grip covers a few weeks ago:
I just had a chance to ride with them, and I have to say, these are the biggest bang for the buck yet.
I've had trouble with numbness in my hands when using the computer mouse, and other things that require extended grip times.
It was particularly bad when riding the Spyder. The cruise is a Godsend on the highway, but I'd still have to ride one-handed and flex my fingers regularly to get relief.
These grips have made a MAJOR improvement. They're very comfortable and grippy, they reduce any vibration coming through the bars, but I think the biggest improvement is the increased grip diameter.
I rode 2 hours yesterday with only minimal hand discomfort, and a couple 30 minute trips today with no issues at all.
Highly recommended, and SlingMods customer service and shipping was great for all the parts I ordered.
I had an issue with the TricLED sequential turn signals, and they got me a replacement part quickly and without any hassles.
Do you happen to know if they work on model with heated grips?
