• 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.

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I used hearing protection for all my riding years on 2 wheels.. since 1978. However, it turns out that my poor hearing status now probably stems from inheritance from my mother and her father .. my grandfather. My 2 siblings did not ride motorcycles but also apparently inherited the hearing...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I can see this happening... LOL!! I carry a cargo net and bungees in case I find something too big to put in the frunk or trunk or sidebags.. can strap it to the empty passenger seat and those grab rails.

    Air Hawk seat didn't do it for me.

    Ultimate floorboards or smaller floorboards?

    I have large floorboards on my 2021 RTL and I employ that method on our twisties. Started doing this on my Gold Wing trike many years ago... its just a normal habit now - don't even think about it. Let us know what you decide and how it goes. Cheers!

    Ultimate floorboards or smaller floorboards?

    [/B][/COLOR] Have you tried this? When in a turn to the left, push down on the right peg (or floorboard, whatever you have). Turning right, push down on the left peg (or floorboard, whatever you have). This WILL counter that "throwing me off" feeling. Try it!

    Is there a reason people seemingly don't research correct prices?

    Unless you are trying to get rid of an item ASAP and don't care what it brings then it stands to reason to start high - you may as well get as much as you can for it. You might accidentally come across the person who will pay the high price. One can always lower the price but I have never...

    Any ideas/advice on raising foot boards 6" for driver?

    Can the child mount as if to sit in the driver’s seat then just scoot backward onto the passenger seat? Getting off maybe they could remain in place and throw one leg over to the same side as the other leg and scoot down to the driver seat then use the driver foot board to ease down..??

    Planning a Trip to the Ozark Mountains - any advice?

    You might want to consider getting a Butler map for motorcycle rides in the Ozarks. They are a heavy duty map that won't tear up easily, have good rides all scoped out, and tips if appropriate... such as it might say: there are 7 very often wet/slick low water crossings on this route, as...

    Is it normal for 2011 RT to have very touchy steering at speed?

    I found that setting the front tire pressures, when cold, at 18psi solved the problem for me. Otherwise, it felt like a beachball bouncing all over the place. Also lowered the new rear tire to 25 psi.

    Shipping Services for Pull-behind Trailer - Reliable Shipping Company Names??

    Many thanks to all who responded. The company that made the camping trailer is now out of business.. so no support for parts and accessories. I have decided to let the private party sell it to someone else.

    Shipping Services for Pull-behind Trailer - Reliable Shipping Company Names??

    Thinking of purchasing a pull-behind camping trailer from a private party but it is several states away... would need to have it shipped. Am asking for information as to which reliable shipping company to contact... and which ones to definitely stay away from. Many thanks.

    To Windshield or.....

    I do not know which windshield would fit your bike but I can tell you I had an F4 on my Gold Wing GL1800 trike and absolutely LOVED it.. It was of much thicker material than the Gold Wing OEM shield. Best of all... I could clean it with regular Windex and paper towels... never a scratch...

    Does this handlebar look factory standard for my 2021 RTL?

    Yes.. Helibars... no more trying this and that, sending it back or trying to sell it, then buying something else... once and done with the customizable Helibars.

    Old Harley Rider considering a Spyder - load limit concerns?

    JohnnyG56... Be SURE your ramp opening on the toyhauler is wide enough for the Spyder (or any trike) to enter before you purchase a Spyder. Some of the toyhaulers have an inset on each side of the ramp opening which limits the entry width, although the interior of the garage may be wide...

    Selling my Spyder - should I let them ride, or pillion?

    When I put my Gold Wing trike up for sale I decided to put it on consignment at a local dealer. I did not want to have to contend with the exact same situations that has been discussed here already. Nor did I want to hassle with low-ball offers and potential weirdos showing up at my home...

    Backrest - BRP or Showchrome for a 2020 RT-L?

    Utopia gets an A+ for me. I have had Utopias on a lot of 2-wheelers and the Gold Wing trike I had. But I purchased the Show Chrome for the Spyder in the interim while the Utopia people were on vacation at the time. Did not like it AT all.. felt like a tiny hard fist on my spine. The Utopia...
