• 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.

    1200 mile trip on Spyder

    The new seat with a new backrest in velour was $800+ with the ride-in. Mail in would be cheaper. I can take pictures with my cellphone camera but I don't know how to get them transmitted for posting.

    1200 mile trip on Spyder

    I just returned from a 1200 mile trip to put a Russell Day-Long saddle on my Spyder. The seat pan is velour for breathability and it is sprung for my weight (260 lbs.). My next change is to install the brackets for some highway pegs. Then, I will put a windshield on. The Spyder was a terrific...

    Seat Cowl Cover - Yellow & Black

    Really nice seat!! On Monday I am riding up to Shasta Lake (from SoCal) for a custom Russell Day-Long saddle that will be made and installed on Wednesday. It won't look as nice as yours -- but my butt will like it just fine!

    Lucky Today

    Glad you came through the challenge OK. Something to think about for all of us. I guess getting on the shoulder of the road (if available) might be more of an option on the Spyder since with the 3 wheels one would have been less likely to have lost control (having previously lost control on a...

    purchase agreement

    This Spyder is something else. Sure hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine. Congratulations on getting the "fast" color. People continue to be amazed at how much faster yellow is than silver.

    Nice Spyder Outing

    Went down to Bruce Fabrication this morning to check on his ability and recommendations regarding an aftermarket muffler for the Spyder. He will probably be able to start next Saturday, if this is what I decide to do. The ride was all SoCal freeway, a distance of probably 40 miles each way. Now...

    feedback needed--warranty and service question

    I got the extended warranty simply because this is a new model and I had no idea how the front-end would wear, etc. Never bought one before in over forty years of riding.

    Hi !

    Steering and rider leaning are more like a sidecar than a motorcycle. Stability and handling are better than a sidecar since the driven wheel is centered and the two front wheels are in perfect symmetry. My personal preference is for the yellow color since I assume that it is more visible to...

    First Spyder Owners-What would you change?

    I would tend to agree with most of the suggestions. My 2 biggest suggestons would be a handlebar mounted brake lever and longer stems for the mirrors. I would also appreciate a taller and broader windshield (taller and broader than their "touring" windshield).

    What accessories have you ordered and received?

    Re: What accessories have you ordered and received? I have ordered and installed: touring windshield, tank bag, seat bag, rear rack (bo), rear rack bag. In my opinion the seat bag is really well put together and the tank bag is rather small with not a whole lot of window space for a map. The...

    Accessories installed

    Got the taller windshield, tank bag, and seat bag installed this afternoon. The tank bag, in my opinion, is best suited for notions, such as sunglasses, sunblocker, small flashlight, etc. Because of the crease in the "tank" I wasn't sure that regular tank bags for basically flat tanks would work...
