• 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.

    front suspension for two up....

    Would Elka Stage 1+R be a good setup for an RT with the stock shots already set at the stiffest settings? I ride with the wife on weekends and would like to have less roll in the suspension.

    2013 Windshield Change

    windshield vent You have to love this forum! I wanted to add a vent and now I know to use the GL 1800 vent and pictures to show me how its done. I don't suppose anyone has installed a warp drive? Spyderfest is having drag races on Thursday night and I don't think the vent will cut the wind...

    Anybody having Problems with ordering from Kewl Metal?

    Kewlmetal delay I ordered a GPS mount from Kewlmetal and it took a long time (over 2 months) to come in as well. I wrote them several times but they answered each time with a reason why I hadn't received it. I was disappointed with the delays as I'm used to whatever I order coming in within a...

    Broken key in ignition...

    I surrendered... I finally gave up and had AAA towed to my dealer. They thought they could get it out as they have seen this before. Just my luck it seems like the pins in the ignition cylinder are jammed out. End result is a major body disassembly to replace the entire lock cylinder. The...

    Broken key in ignition...

    not so fast... Oh boy, the locksmith came out and after 3 hours was unsuccessful at extracting the 3/8 piece of key stuck in there. It appears the pins that come out inside the lock and jammed into the narrowist part of the key. And since the brake is on I can't push the bike into the garage...

    Broken key in ignition...

    Well, it started off as a good morning. Temp around 28 to be followed by sun and warming up to 40. Got all dressed up with my heated gear, hopped aboard the ol"Spydee, and stuck the key in the ignition. First thought was that didn't feel right. I took the key out thinking maybe water caused...

    RoadRunner Spyder Review (trip from last year)

    disappointed... I"ve been a subscriber to Road Runner for a while and I was disappointed in the article. Thought they were lukewarm about the Spyders for as many miles as they put on. Yes it does handle differently than a bike, but I could say the same about how my Kawi Nomad was different...

    Swrafey's? Hmmm, I hate parts falling off when going down the road and the Swrafey's retention system sparked my interest. Does anybody have additional details? I searched for Swrafey's on the site and found it only on this page. KS

    What is it with some people?

    Well, some folks just need a little more coaxing to see the light - like the college boy in Manhattan, KS, who decided to rev the engine of his ninja after he pulled up next to me. The light turned green, he popped the clutch, went about 15 feet before the front wheel went up and he went down...

    Post here if you have over 5000 miles, not kilometers on your Spyder

    i just passed my 5000 mile mark this weeken. I got my spider in May and commute daily on it and go for "familiarization rides" on the weekend. My dealer is really squared away and since the Spyder doesn't have any problems I don't have to visit him except for Spyder days at the dealer!

    Helmets?????????

    helmet use... I ride with a modular or full face helmet. Why? I was riding my Kawi Nomad 1700, rolled into a curve at about 35 and next thing you know I'm rolling across the road like a rag doll. Both the bike and I slid into a ditch with enough force the bike bounced back out on the road...
