• 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.

    Black hole under handlebars

    I started using the Poster Putty tacky stuff they sell at Amazon and most discount/hobby/dollar stores in either white, yellow or blue. I put a piece of it in the end of the screw driver or bit and then press it against the screw/whatever and it sticks to the screw driver etc. I also stick some...

    Adjustable Handlebar Risers

    Has anyone found any adjustable handlebar risers that will fit the 2013? I have been told by Custom Dynamics and Helibar that their risers will not fit. Helibar says they changed the bolt pattern on the 2013 so theirs won't fit yet. But Custom Dynamics doesn't say why just that they don't fit.

    2013 RS SM5

    The main reason for my going to the SM was it was the only one they had on special. However now that I have ridden the manual I find I missed the feel and control of the manual transmission, so it was a good thing for me. I like the looks of the 2013 stock wheels better than any of the past...

    2013 RS SM5

    I found out last night that y'all are correct the reduced space is due to the battery and I for one think it is a good trade off. Also I not sure as I didn't measure it but I am pretty sure the 2013 is a little more narrow at the seat gas tank area, meaning it does not make my legs spread so...

    2013 RS SM5

    Well I took delivery on a new 2013 RS SM5 and moved some mods from my 2009 RS SE5 (traded) to it. The HeliBars® would not fit as they changed the bolt pattern. The BRP Saddlebags fitments racks fit fine. The frunk is smaller as my helmet would fit so well I could just drop it into the 2009...

    Poll about 2013 known problems

    You have made your opinion know on both sides of the coin and that is good. Lets try and not turn this thread into a discussion about who is right/wrong/good/bad or into the quality of the poll or need for the poll. Just let the votes show the information. If someone has problems and then...

    Who does not have problems with their 2013 Spyder

    I understand the poll as a poll is quite limited but as an indicator of whether the 2013 really has or continues to have problems it can help those like myself that are considering a 2013. I am not trying to stir the pot. Instead I am trying to smooth the pot by giving limited but equal...

    Poll about 2013 known problems

    Thanks to those that voted. It would be helpful if you would place some details about your problems in bullet form. At this point it looks like 11 out of 31 have had problems.

    Who does not have problems with their 2013 Spyder

    I am asking about any problems. This side of the coin is to show those that read this that not all of the 2013 spyders have problems as this is the do not have problems poll. The purpose is to try and get a listing of the problems per model. The polling function of SpyderLovers limits the...

    Any ideas on where to out a Cane holder?

    How about a setup that is like what they use for flags in parades.

    Who does not have problems with their 2013 Spyder

    2013 Spyder problems who do not have problems I created a poll for those that have problems with their 2013 Spyders but to get a clear picture there must also be a poll for those that do not have problems. So here it is. Please do not vote if you do not have a 2013 Spyder.

    Poll about 2013 known problems

    this is my first poll and so it may be all messed up. Hopefully if it is I will be able to edit it. It seems for some reason that the 2013 appears to have a list of problems but the discussion on them are buried in long post and many emotional threads. (Sad) A thread that list in bullet...

    ST Seat Fit??

    I had no trouble mounting an ST Limited Embroidered Stock Seat on my 2009 GS/RS SE5 and it fits perfectly. I used the hardware that came with my stock seat because the ST Limited seat I bought did not come with any hardware.

    Sell or Trade In

    If you sell it your self you will get a better price but have to deal with the advertising, looky loos, paperwork and prep. If you trade it in then you loose money but no hassle. Are you sure that the 14 will be setup as you want or will you need to add stuff to it to get it right? If you...

    Why is it called a Spyder?

    I suspect Lamonster is right on target about how it got to be called a spyder, but to me it looks like a scorpion.

    R-35 Saddle Bags

    I don't see how what you wrote will make a difference. The body panels (plastic tuppterware stuff) does not interfere with the alignment of the saddlebag rack. Attaching the frames (saddlebag rack) without having the saddlebags may not allow the saddlebags to be attached after everything is...

    R-35 Saddle Bags

    That's not my experience. They come off very easily and quickly but putting them back on can be a pita. The alignment of the stalks connecting point cause me to some times have to loosen the bolts holding the stalks in order to use the key to lock them in place and then re-tighten the mounting...

    What do you do with your helmet???

    I don't often have to hang my helmet. I just put it in the frunk, but for when the frunk is full I added a bolt inside the frunk that I hook the helmet on and just close the frunk. The strap could be cut but the way it lays it would not be easy so I feel it is quite secure and it's a very easy...

    Dragon Fire

    I am wanting to try and create a panel that goes on the front of my 2009 gs se5 below the frunk. I want it to look like fire in a dragons mouth. The problem is I remember as a kid they had these toys and cards and such that when you moved them the image changed. Now as chance would have it I...

    Did 3" risers make your ride even better?

    I have Heli risers on my 2009 GS SE5 and I think they actually make it safer to ride as it takes pressure off your arms allowing better control. I also would recommend Seal Floorboards as they add a lot of stability in the turns.
