• 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.

    How do you explain what riding is like?

    I tell people that driving a vehicle is like standing in the kitchen and looking out the window. Riding is like opening the window, sticking my head out and feeling the sun on my face and smelling everything while enjoying the unobstructed views.

    Check out the New Garmin Zumo XT2

    Look at the MotoPumps lock. I have one and am comfortable leaving the GPS on the spyder.

    Are the New Speakers from Slingmods worth it?

    I'm one who doesn't care about the radio, I use my Ipod. I'm thinking about changing out the speakers when I get the spyder out of storage (If winter ever ends here in Minnesnowta). Then I will take a look and assess what can be done.

    What’s your best memory/story (so far) with your Spyder/Ryker ??

    The first ride of 2020. Cheri didn't ride her F3L in 2019 due to cancer surgery, chemo and radiation. It was inspiring and emotional to see her put on her gear and want to ride. In 47 years of riding that was the most memorable and important to me.

    F3L Parking Brake locking on - any advice?

    I had the same issue off and on for about 6 months. Dealer checked it out and had fault codes. I had the parking brake motor replaced. No problem since.

    Back on four wheels...

    Having had 11 surgeries on my knees and both replaced, I can commiserate with you. A good way to ice the knee is to use a cryro cuff. It is a small round cooler for ice and water with a tube and knee wrap. Works great and no leaking ice bags.

    Can I raise the passenger seat up on 2016 F3t

    I have the same bike and my only thought is to take the passenger seat to an upholsterer and see if they can help by adding some more foam?

    Any idea where I can get decent front tires for my F3?

    I just ordered from Tire rack. Depends on the brand of tires you are looking for. I ordered Vredestein Quadtrac pro 175/55R-15

    Do I really need a GPS?

    I guess I am a "Literal" kind of guy but no problem, I was just looking at it from a different "unknown".

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Peteoz how do you program an unknown address into a GPS? Kind of hard to do when you don't know the address, correct?

    Do I really need a GPS?

    The difference between need and want is the question I see. Does anyone need one? I don't need one but I wanted one so I have a Garmin Zumo XT. Everyone has different wants and needs. Just my opinion which is only worth the paper it's written on.:sour:

    The most dangerous place on earth for me.

    Pete, I can kinda understand where you are coming from. I didn't fall down the stairs but have had knee problems for the last 41 years. Now at almost 74 years young, I have two artificial knees after 11 surgeries on them. You will recover and be moving forward. Listen to the medical specialists...

    How reliable are spyders?

    My wife bought her first Spyder in 2010, an RT after having both of her hips replaced. After two knee replacements and a pacemaker put in, I sold my two wheel touring rig and got a 2016 F3T. Wife rode my F3 and in 2017 she went to a 2017 F3L. Two years ago, we had some friends ask to ride them...

    Who has a Garmin Zumo XT & is using a Lock - what lock? Thoughts?

    I purchased the lock from MotoPumps for the Garmin XT. It does everything that I want it to do. At night I take the GPS off and put it in the trunk.

    Anyone seen a Brake Light Flasher Kit for the Top Case light?

    Spyderpops had them. They were plug and play for the trunk light. You may have to call and talk to Harvey. I put one in mine and my wife's F3Ls.

    Highway RPM - F3T vs F3L

    Yes you are correct

    Highway RPM - F3T vs F3L

    I have a 2016 F3T and my wife has a 2017 F3L. My RPMs at highway speeds are about 500 more than hers. The difference is due to the different rear sprocket.

    Just finished watching Top-gun - beats all the hype!

    My wife has seen it 13 times so far. When it came out, I bought it for her so she would stop going to the theater to watch it.

    Wisecracks about Spyder

    When I was riding my Kawasaki Nomad I was filling up and a guy said "nice harley" I told him it was a Kawasaki, then he just railed on me for not riding a real bike. As he was filling up his Chevy pickup truck I said what was wrong with him cause he wasn't driving a Dodge pickup. He looked at me...
