• 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 many miles have you put on your spyder in one year ?

    Only 20,000. Embarrassed to say it, but I had 25,000 the first year on my GW. But that was 10 years ago with a custom seat. I'm older and slower.

    Missouri Registration

    Spyder MC license test They even have a special course layout for the driving test. My wife took it. The instructor told her she could not ride a 2-wheeler (not sure if that was because of the license limitation or her skill limitation!).

    Helmet Fit

    Take a ride to St Louis Hello JT, I would take a ride to St Louis. Look up the dealers & call/email to see what brands they have in stock. I have had Nolan modulars and prefer my current Shoei Neotech with built-in sunshade and good ventilation. Follow Ron's advice and get a helmet that fits...

    Trip Meter Problem

    me too Strangely, I had the same thing happen about a week ago. Have to admit I've never even looked at the "pause" opition & did not know about it. I cleared both A & B as I normally do, and B worked but A did not. Noticed it after about 35 miles. I messed with it a few times trying to...

    Getting a trailer!

    I was worried .... Glad to read this post. I was worried because I thought you were just going to tie it to your Spyder with a rope and tow it home because you didn't have your hitch installed.

    Flooded Spyder

    "Flooded" Spyder No water in the cylinders, but we did ride through a flooded area on US 24 in MO last week. The water was only about 6 inches deep and there was a MODOT crew there monitoring traffic. They told us a Harley had just gone through, so we couldn't let that go unchallenged!

    Is there a Windshield Edging that would channel water to the sides?

    I read about doing that years ago and tried it on my Gold Wing. They suggested, and I used, clear tubing and sliced it down one side and slipped it over. Was cheap but looked OK. It worked OK, but I really didn't like the edge on the windshield. You could try that for a cheap test and then...

    Most comfortable long distance seat? Corbin, Russell, Day-Long, Ultimate.......

    Corbin's are "firm" Mine didn't seem to feel any better after 50,000 miles. I prefer a softer touch. I have even read comments from Corbin reps that their seats are for persons who prefer "firm." I had 3 Diamonds (custom measurements & foam density) in the past and they were great after...

    Belt squeal

    A few more comments Here are a few more comments http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?47629-Greasin-the-Belt I started having the squealing early, and now have 13,000 mi, and I still have to grease it every thousand or so. More often if the weather is wet, or when I wash it good.

    Do all soft saddlebags fade in the sun?

    Kuryakin does I had a nice Kuryakin trunk rack bag on my Gold Wing & it faded to a gray color, but not purple! Have also had a couple of different tank bags & they faded to gray also. Never had the pleasure of purple. I think Nelson-Rigg has been around for years so they probably are good...

    New 622 RT Trailer

    Any 2012s left? They might still have some 2012s at the factory. I was able to get a '12 Lava Bronze rather than a '13 so the wheels would match. You do realize the wheels are different also, don't you?
