• 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.

    Bluetooth instead of iPod Solution?

    My 2013 has the iPod integration and--to date-- I've used an iPod (bought off eBay with a bad connector for nearly nothing) and I have an FM transmitter connected to a BT receiver. It kind of works, but has all the problems you associate with an FM transmitter. However, I just bought a new...

    Spyder-friendly Motorcycle Safety courses?

    They changed this late last year. If you take a trike class you get a trike restriction on your license (assuming you don't already have the M).

    Electronic Frunk Release

    On mine (factory installed) the microswitch on the front does not always engage. I keep thinking I need to 3D print a little cap for the striker on the frunk cover to ensure it engages.

    Cell Phone charge?

    This is what I did and after 2 years very pleased with it: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?59322-power-for-accessories&p=712490&viewfull=1#post712490 I also did the X mount on the stock GPS mount that someone else pointed out in the mods section (the one with the electrical...

    Help, thought battery was dead but that is not the problem

    I don't know if all the Spyders have the same battery, but if I recall this one is not for AGM batteries and that's what my 2013 has. The problem is, if the charger attempts to overcharge an AGM battery it will convert some of the fluid inside into gas and cut the effectiveness of the battery. I...

    Spyder Rental in Houston

    I agree Mancuso will help you, especially if you already have your M license. If you don't, they may be reluctant. However, they do the motorcycle training on 3 wheelers about once a month and they will supply the Spyder if you don't have one. So for the $150 or whatever you could get 2 days on...

    Ride-- don't walk, don't even run-- RIDE to get your Spyder laser aligned!

    I had the same experience. Thought it was fine until it was aligned and then I was amazed. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Santa's Spyder

    I would have said Red Sled, but I think Teddy's got that one ;-) Even though it was a bit cool, Santa took the Spyder around a few neighborhoods and gave out some candy canes to as many kids as he could find. Someone had got Santa those Bugeye goggles as a Christmas present. He said they...

    Discovered extra 12v port in frunk 2013 RT

    Discovered extra 12v port in frunk 2013 RT

    In my trunk I have a three outlets splitter and the USB adapter fits in one of the sockets leaving 2 free. It is one of those that looks like octopus, that is the three sockets are on the end of wires. A little heavy duty velcro secures it to the trunk wall. If anyone cares I could post a...

    Drilling Holes in Trunk Lid

    I took a break from stringing lights today to do a trial fit of the rack. Looks easy enough but for those of you who have one: it looks like whatever you have on there better not poke too far over the right edge or you bump the antenna. Most of the bags I have seen have expandable sides. So do...

    Drilling Holes in Trunk Lid

    I just picked up the Big Bikes trunk rack. It looks good (other than a missing scuff foot used during installation which is no big deal). However, before I start drilling (more) holes in the bike, I wanted some advice (please). The instructions say to use a center punch to mark the holes...
