• 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.

    Madstad Windshield help

    Do you have it all the way up and flat, or all the way up and angled in or out? Thanks.

    Madstad Windshield help

    For those who purchased the Madstad system and screen, I'm wondering how you found your "sweet spot" and where it is on your Spyder. It would help to include your height/inseam, size of shield, risers, and pics if you have them. I adjusted the Madstad about 6 different ways yesterday, but I'm...

    what do you carry for concealed to carry?

    Good point--and a tasers can be effective if you can get to it in time, and it is less lethal than a gun. Not a bad option. I do want to distinguish between fighting and self-defense. You're right that learning to fight--or getting a black belt in a martial art--takes years of training and...

    what do you carry for concealed to carry?

    carrying guns As someone who spends lots of time doing violent prevention--especially rape prevention--I understand why people carry guns and I'm not opposed to it. I just hope folks also have a plan "B." Guns don't always work, take time to load, and even trained police officers often miss...

    Show off your pets

    Bear and Titus Great thread! My first attempt at posting pics, so apologies if it doesn't work. The first one is of Bear, my black German Shepherd who made it 15 and 1/2 years and was the most loyal dog I've ever known. Lost him last summer and still miss him. The second pic is of Titus...

    Street Magic XPS15 Performance Muffler

    Sorry--don't go their website, go to their facebook page to hear the sound.

    Street Magic XPS15 Performance Muffler

    I'm also considering the purchase. If you go to their website and click on the 'video' link and then the spyder, you will hear the muffler. It's only idling, however, so it's hard to know how it sounds when moving. I spoke with Matt before he left for Sturgis and he said it makes the Spyder...

    California dog lovers

    Hi All Spyder and dog lovers, I know lots of you are pet lovers, so I thought I would post here. I volunteer at a German Shepherd rescue and I am fostering a beautiful, 2-3 year-old female named Kona who needs an immediate home. She is smart, knows some basic obedience, and has all of her...

    F1 Mantis Fairing ?

    I hope things get worked out for you. Unfortunately I had a similar experience some time ago with one of his shields. Sent me the wrong one, and then told me it was their mistake and would send me the correct one. Waited and waited, sent e-mails and calls, and was told it was on its way...

    What do/did you do for a living?

    I'm a Professor with a focus on culture and social change. I created a sexual assault prevention program that reaches about 2,000 people per year throughout the U.S. If California's economy gets much worse and they close all the universities I'm moving to Kauai and becoming a surf instructor!

    A question for all Spyder owners.

    Maybe I still love the concept and enjoy the ryde every time I get out. My SO likes ryding on the back more than the harley, and I find it easier to do longer trips on 3 wheels. Disappointed with the steering issues, and the fact that ryders have been left without their spyders for...

    Official BRP Statement on Spyder DPS

    I hate to say it, but I've lost a lot of faith in BRP to handle these serious issues. There have been too many close calls, and too many folks without their spyders for way too long in my opinion. I bought the Spyder (and sold my Harley) because I believed it was a safer vehicle. I think we...

    best motorcycle song..

    Gotta go with two favorites: 1. Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell (even though things don't end so well for the rider!) "I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light" 2...

    Lost a great companion yesterday

    Really sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. We had to put our German Shepherd (Bear) down a few months ago when, like your dog, he lost the ability to stand. Two weeks ago our cat passed away. The house just isn't it the same and both of us have experienced real grief. I hope Bear and...

    Would you like to plan a trip to Alaska?

    As another option, ryders might be able to hook up with a touring company. I wanted to do a dual sport adventure in AK last summer, but was traveling too much to make it happen. It would be a blast to do the trip on a Spyder. I believe the company I posted below has someone following in a van...

    S. Cal Ryder questions

    Let me know how it works for you once it arrives. It would be easy for me to make a quick trip down to S.D. to check it out.

    saw the RT today

    Yeah, a custom saddle might do the trick. I have a feeling Lamont will have a fix for this issue asap. Hey Lamont--haven't you lived in Tenn. long enough? I think it's time to come back to So.Cal where you can help us all with our mods!

    saw the RT today

    I had a chance to check out Ken's RT yesterday. If I were looking for a cruiser and had the $$, I would definitely consider this Spyder--but the original is a better fit for most of my ryding. The seats on the RT are great, but at a little over 6 feet tall the riding position was not at all...

    S. Cal Ryder questions

    I went to the event today but there must be a west coast bias against the Chad because not one person had one and there were a bunch of Spyders. I'll probably go ahead and buy one and hope it works for me--I live near Santa Ana so if you send pm the info for Laminar and a contact person I can...

    Fairing for our current models

    Seems like a possible alternative to more expensive systems, but don't you need to have a metal tank since it connects via magnets? I'm also wondering if 40 watts would be high enough output at higher speeds?
