• 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.

    Why would you want an asymmetrical rear tire?

    TEST DUMMY UPDATE: I rode toady about 150 miles in pouring rain. I never had any problems even with the standing water in the road. We hit speeds up to 65 mph through winding roads, up and down hills again it was literally pouring for several hours. I mounted my rear with the inside toward the...

    Rain Gear?

    Thanks all ended up with Nelson Rigg AS-3000, just because I was able to get them quickly. Rode nearly all day today in pouring rain I was completely dry and I did not bake in them well worth the 71.00. Thanks again for the suggestions.

    Why would you want an asymmetrical rear tire?

    I guess I'll be a test dummy. I recently installed Vredestein Quatrac 5 on front and rear with the Inside marking on the brake side. Friday looks like i will be riding in the rain for quite a bit if the weather don't change will give an update after.

    Spyderflap travels, installed and thougnts.

    Great idea on the covers, I used a black paint marker on mine but will pick some of those caps up tomorrow as I think it looks better. Thanks for sharing.

    How safe?

    Yes the Spyder is more stable that a two wheeled bike, yes it is larger and can be seen better. Safer maybe in a sense, however when you get on one you have to take on the risk. The biggest safety feature is your situational awareness you must keep your head on a swivel. I have not read news...

    Rear Tire Help

    The tire is the Quatrac 5. I think you may have nail it yet again. There is only a little clearance between the tire shock I could not figure out how that is possible. The compressor is raising and lowering the bike. I raised and lower it a few time and have been bouncing up and down on and have...

    Using auto tires on any spyder

    I got my tires from tire rack, ordered the front two and a month later order the rear. On the site I put the size I wanted and then selected the option of not entering vehicle information.

    Removing rear wheel

    Even though I did not get it balanced, you would never know it is actually better than some balanced tires on my Audi Q7. I decided to remove the brake rotor did not want to take a chance of the tire shop messing it up, only 5 bolts to remove. I could not find a bike shop that would balance it...

    Removing rear wheel

    UPDATE: I did the wheel removal and tire install today. Following every ones advice, the job it's self was pretty straight forward. Took longer to get the tire mounted on the rim than doing the work. What did I learn: Removing the sensor in the swing arm was the worst part. I tried to...

    Removing rear wheel

    Interesting for sure. I only have 2800 miles on my bike just want to change the Kendra in for a vredestein quatrac 5 205/65r15. Maybe I should see if the dealer would do it seems if bearings are wearing out that quickly it would be covered under the warranty.,
