• 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.

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    **almost forgot ** with the amount of bounce from the rear tire, definitely use a coupler lock & check it & the safety chains often. If you're carrying a cooler - NO glass bottles, and anything carbonated is a hazard just waiting for a victim!

    What Trailer hitch and wiring harness are you using for your RS Spyder?

    Check to see if your rear axle is hollow to accept the hitch retaining bolt. I believe the same hitch fits some years of ST's & RS's. On ST's, the rear fender required dealer modifications so the license plate could be seen once the hitch was installed.

    Foot Brake vs Handlebar Brake - would it be better for me?

    Agree & there's also multiplayer reports of additional adjustments & a weaker response from the handbrake. Nothing horrible, just comments on how different it is from the foot pedal. Sorry, not sure if removing the pedal would be advisable if emergency stopping is needed.

    Speakers are not working - what am I missing?

    Also, set a 90-day reminder to recharge any & all your rechargeable batteries. Some build up a “memory” & none of them really like full discharge. A 90-day cycle is helpful if you can personally maintain them with the correct chargers. Also, it's helpful for some devices that are USB...

    Random thought for the day

    During my TBI recovery (bed ridden, hourly prodding by Drs & staff checking mental state & more) pondered this: Know the saying - “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Well, the truth ain’t always nice, so SHUT THE **** UP. ** note before injury, a previous friendly...

    CAUTION - RTL Brake calliper bolts are recommended One Time Use only!

    All so could very well be: A. a cover your butt disclaimer (only certified Spyder technician accepted maintenance); or B. simply more part($) so there can be back orders & let other things sit & fail in meantime/perpetually.

    Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

    There are ways. Sorry misplaced pics at the moment. One person had sandwiched place card between some thick clear plastic with a hole to fit lock through. I personally tried removing & mounting with windshield bolts - personally not happy with results. Prefer plates. -

    Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

    Congrats & welcome. Don’t know 'bout veteran status getting two plates. But ya, LoUiSiAna is the same - one plate & 2 hanging cards. Not really much issues I guess - you can only drive one at a time any way right? In any instance where you don’t have either - say, you rode somewhere with a bud -...
