• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Front wheel alignment at Lamonster's Garage Left front tire was wearing on the inside (toe OUT) Perhaps gas mileage will improve now that I'll not be dragging the left front tire along.....:D

    Is anyone running these Bright yellow lights as headlights or foglights?

    The Clearwater lights were used on 2 BMW bikes prior to being installed on my Spyder, so I'm not sure about originally having modular plugs. On the Spyder, I just tied them into the "fuse block" I had already installed. As for the badging, I found that on eBay (not OEM, so around $20). I...

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What to do? Anybody made theirs better?

    Plus one. I've been lurking on this thread to see what was decided, and my current RDL is my 5th one on various cycles from Gold Wing to BMW RT to Spyder RT.

    Is anyone running these Bright yellow lights as headlights or foglights?

    These - Clearwater Darla... pricey but great quality and customer service. They can be either clear or yellow lenses in the dust cover, and Clearwater sells the mounting brackets that bolt onto the front fender attachments.

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    I'd like to mimic whatever you do to get that mileage... Although I didn't buy my Spyder for gas mileage, the difference between yours and mine is interesting. I do the Trip A thing at each fill up and it takes 4-5 gallons at 175 miles. My average is around 34. After fill up it shows 245 mile...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Replaced front brake pads on my 2020 Spyder RT with EBC FA630HH pads from BajaRon - At 36430 miles. Bedding them in took some golfers by surprise as I quickly ran up to 60mph, then braked hard to 20 mph... x 3. :ROFLMAO:

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Replaced the rear shock with Elka stage 2. All three shocks now matched. (2020 RT Base with 34K miles) Reduced air bladder PSI from 65 to 30 for less-harsh ride, and loving it so far. Front Elkas were installed last year.

    A Springtime weekend ride in the South

    My destination? Southeast from North Central Alabama, to include southern Georgia and North Florida. (The day prior, I'd lunched at The Funky Goat in Dadeville Alabama, my second visit with that quaint little diner on the town square.) Back to the ride: After removing the pollen blanket from...

    If Einstein was right when he posited that there is no matter, that everything is just energy... I have wasted a LOT of time chasing energy! :cool:
