• 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.

    Any way to Change the Cruise Control Switch position?

    Ok, everyone. I miss stated it. The present cruise control is factory install on the right. The problem is I am throttling then I have to twist my hand into an awkward position to set or resume speed. Obviously, if I only want to resume, I can do that regardless of how fast I’m going but if I am...

    HowTo: Keeping Sena and Phone charged.

    I installed a dual USB port in the blank spot at the handle bars and one next to the passenger seat. I can run my cell phone and sena charger on each. I also use the rear one for my Cycle Chiller system to stay cool. My helmet won’t fit in the trunk, only the frunck. If my Girlfriend is with me...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Trailer and Hitch I bought a J&E Tear drop Trailer (2009) last week. Had about 100 miles on it and pulls incredible. I’ll have to replace tires which are also 2009 but look new.

    Can anyone help with Wiring - harness diagram??

    Thanks for your responses. I’ll mark it and when I get the trailer, figure out the wiring. I just thought there was a clear answer that came from standardization. I guess it is too much to ask. It’s sort of why we have so many different oil filters. Different sizes for different volumes makes...

    Can I safely increase the Fuse size for the power port in the trunk?

    I updated my 2017 Spyder RT with a dual USB port for the passenger seat. I spliced into the wires for the cigarette lighter in the trunk as the vendor suggested and provided video for. It has been fine, but this AM I used a DC compressor to inflate tires and connected to the cigarette lighter...
