• 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.

    half helmets

    I've got the Scorpion half helmet with drop down shield and really like it. Also have a Bell 3/4 Sena and like that also. These past few Michigan days have been a tad warm and the Bell makes my ears sweat so the Scorpion has been getting a lot of use lately. Good luck with your hunt.

    Ultimate Seat??

    I also have the Ultimate seat and last Friday I got soaked in a downpour. I also have a sheepskin cover on the seat (tender butt) so after I got home, I pulled off the sheepskin and the seat was slightly damp. I left the cover off over night and the next morning the seat was fine. With all the...

    FYI: CA Motorcycle Law & Insurance Requirements

    I'm also with State Farm for 40 some odd years. Have all my insurance through the same agent. I've had Michigan cycle endorsement for 30 years. Never had State Farm tell me I needed a safety course. Maybe it's time to look for a new agent. Just sayin'.......

    Belt Tensioner

    I have the SmoothRider on my 2012 RT. Works great. Had to readjust after a couple of rides. Not quite as easy to install as the Baker unit but I didn't know that until after my install. The unit does it job and does it well.

    long distance riding and "butt" comfort ........

    For me it has always been a sheepskin cover and back-rest. Had them on all my Harleys and now on my :ani29:. I always use real sheepskins and custom fit them to the seat. Not a hard job, just a couple of straps under the seat. The comfort undies look like a good idea and I think I might try...

    Part Question

    Try contacting your dealer. He should be able to get one for you. Might even have one laying the shop. Good luck in you hunt.

    We are still excited to see one another....

    I know what you're talking 'bout. I have mine, and a friend of mine has one, ( he also is co-owner of a gun store. That's why he's my friend). Other than that, I have only seen one other in my neck of the woods. I have even had people asking questions at stop lights. Make for a short...

    87 Octane fuel

    Michigan Wish I could run 87 octane. Tried it and the :ani29: started getting some knocking. Just fueled up tonight, $4.39 a gal. :gaah:. Gotta love Michigan tax.

    Taking a trip.

    Thanks for the tip but with this big bag on the back seat, there is no way the seat is going to lift up with the bag on. I already checked.

    Taking a trip.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I just got back from my local biker store and picked up a RoadHouse Americana bag. It's made to fit over a sissy bar but works prefect on the back seat with the strap going over my backrest. Clamps down nice and firm. Comes with a rain cover but from the looks of the...

    Taking a trip.

    I will be leading a group of about six bikes, five Harley's and myself this August. Plan on being on the road for about two weeks. My question to all of you, what type of luggage do you use on your rear seat? I've been looking online and found a few that might work but the back seat is a little...

    UltraGard Half Cover

    Might also want to take a look at Frogg Toggs. I've had a set for two years now and have no complaints. They work great and best of all, roll up into a very small storage bag. :yes:

    Just ordered my BajaRon Anti-Sway Bar!

    I did the same thing. Drove the :spyder2: up on car ramps and went to town. VERY EASY! You will be very pleased with the results. I had my bar for over a week before I had the time to do the install. Finally did it this morning. Like the others said, two hours to do the job and that includes...

    Unhappy rider

    The scary part, that guy was most likely a registered voter! :gaah:

    Back rest or new seat?

    I was never that happy with the stock RT seat. That lumbar hump built into it made me feel like I was leaning forward from the waist. I'm 6', 210 lbs, with a 32" inseam. I changed out the stock for the Ultimate Reach Seat and backrest. Also added Seal floorboards. Having owned the Spyder for...

    The biker's "CODE" of friendly hello's? NOT today!!!!

    I've had a few Harley riders give me a not so friendly greeting. Being a former Harley guy myself, I have noticed that some don't think you're "cool" unless you're on a chopper or bobber. I always rode Ultra Classics and Road Glides. I would wave at them anyway, just to p*** them off. But you're...

    What do you think ??

    Had the exact same thing. Posted a question here and about the same time had to take the :spyder2: in for it's 600 mile service. The techs did the service and told me they found nothing out of order. That's just the nature of these machines, so now when I feel it, I just give it a little gas and...

    help in the “convincing” my wife

    Just tell her the old one is broke. It will cost to much to replace the kanuton valve and wabbolator shaft :hun:. And that it also keep leaking blinker fluid :yikes:. Worked for me :clap:.

    2012 RT/SE Vibration

    You are right, 19 psi is way too low, I had stupid fingers, meant to type 29 psi. :duh:. As far as coming on suddenly, this is actually the first time I had the Spyder up to those speeds since I bought it. Most of my riding has been around and in town. Like I said, going in for 600 service real...

    2012 RT/SE Vibration

    Ok, here's the story. Coming home this afternoon started getting a vibration. Riding two up, windshield all the way up, tire pressure was checked before we left 18 psi front, 19psi rear. At about 73 mph started getting a high frequency vibration. Could feel it through the seat and floor boards...
