• 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.

    Brake pad

    I have big feet i just, today, installed this brake pedal. I have big feet and my toe would hit the splash guard when I went for the brake pedal, leaving a very small part of the brake pedal to press. After the install I took a 35 mile ride, the new pedal worked great! I have 1.5 inches of...

    Heim Joint Replacment?

    Replace the helm links!!! Play it safe, replace the heim links. Some of the plastic links have cracked and a few have broken. A friend had a personal experience with a link breaking. It was not pretty. Do yourself a solid, replace the links.

    Trying to decide for my 15 RTS - Sway bar or no ….

    Relatively new rider's opinion. I rode my 2014 Spyder RTL over 2800 miles before I was convinced to install a Bajaron swaybar and links. After some research I discovered that my links were listed as "defective", so I replaced them and the swaybar at the same time. The difference in the ride is...

    I'm having second thoughts!

    Great machine I bought my 2014 RTL last September. Since then I have smiled for over 3500 miles. I installed a Bajaron swaybar and links, on the advice of a friend and club member, with absolutely no regrets. Today I installed a pair of Rivco highway pegs. I plan to install a comfort seat...

    Zumo 660 vs zumo 665

    Is the garmin zumo 665 a direct replacement for the zumo 660 installed on the 2014 RTL? I am looking to add the SirusXm capability to my Spyder.

    Bajaron bar

    A friend and I installed Bajaron swaybar and links on my 2014 RTL. We encountered the same issue with the nylon bar mounts as well. Ended up drilling the the mounts a bit. Once we got pass that the install went fine. The improvement of the ride was immediately noticeable. Crosswinds are no...

    What Do You Do When You Aren't Riding?

    Volunteer at the VA 3 or 4 days a week, I volunteer at the VA hospital in Menlo Park California. I drive the shuttle cart and push wheel chairs for some of the finest people in the world. Veterans from WW II to the Gulf. I find that, as a combat vet myself, giving back to these people is the...

    A question for spyder riders

    Ride it I ride for the joy it gives ME. I wave to other riders, because I want to, if anyone has a problem with what or how I ride, that's "their" problem. I let them deal with it in their own way. I don't have the time or the interest in how they deal with it. If you find yourself thinking...

    Black currant for sure I bought an RTL in black currant. I was 10 seconds away from buying the timeless black but when I saw the black currant in the daylight, I was sold. I love the color and I get loads of complements on it. The black was beautiful, but the black currant is just amazing. ;)
