• 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.

    Thoughts on ever-changing vehicle needs and wants

    Over the years, I've had a variety of interesting and not-so-interesting vehicles, reflecting my changing lifestyle wants and financial realities at the time. In 2018, I bought what I thought at the time would be my last "forever" vehicle, a 2018 GMC Canyon with the 4-banger diesel engine. At...

    Welding for fun

    All indications are that public education is shifting back to providing life and job skills and away from college prep. Even State colleges, in Utah at least, are creating programs focused on workforce skills. That's a good thing, I think, and long overdue.

    Yeah, I can relate to the getting back up part!

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I haven't been able to find one, not with a bend to it, anyway. Good old Google AI had this to say: To get air into the hard-to-reach rear tire valve stem of a Can-Am Spyder, you need an extended straight-on (or dual-foot) rigid air chuck. Because the valve stem sits tightly behind the large...

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    That's a good point. I will check with Joe to see if that is part of his tire installation process.

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I think you and 2dogs (among others) have a valid point. I think using temporary stem extensions is one possible solution to the 'reach' problem. The other is to use a long rigid air chuck. Both work pretty well in a controlled environment such as one's garage, but not so much in a hotel parking...

    Okay, found the HawksHead on WingStuff website and ordered it. Should be here in time for the rear tire swap I had planned anyway. Thanks for the advice and ideas.

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    Me? Overthink things? Surely you must be joking! 😉 I know I should ride more and worry less, as someone on here says in their tag line, but when I can't ride for whatever reason, I like to engage in a little bit of thinkin' about things, and when those things involve Spyders, I like to have a...

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    Thanks. The Hawks head is pricey (about $30 with shipping), so I'll probably do just the rear.

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    So, are your tee types stems the actual valve stem, or a screw on extension? It sounds like the latter. And, you're using it on the original straight rubber valve stem? Do you have a link to the tee type extension you're using, please?

    Using FOBO TPMS? Did you install the T valves?

    How secure are those screw-on type t-valve extensions? Anything else I should know about them? Clearance issues?

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    I'm trying to avoid having to crawl around on the ground, maybe in the hot sun, when traveling (this IS, after all, a touring machine, not a garage ornament).

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    I'm thinking of adding FOBO to monitor tire pressure, particularly for the rear wheel, which is difficult to access. For the rear wheel, I'm thinking of installing a T-valve at my next tire change, so I can more readily add air if needed, without having to remove the FOBO device. Any thoughts...

    Laser Alignment Issues with all A/mkt Wheels - they won't accept alignment tools? Anyone heard this before??

    I did look up their Facebook group page. It's been so long I'd forgotten about them. I know George Parry quite well, but it's been about 5 years.. Thanks for the tip.

    What a great idea. Which product did you use for the TPMS?
