• 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.

    2025 Trip Planning - Maine Mostly

    Go to the West Quady (sp?) Lighthouse which is the eastern-most point of the USA. Might as well hit St John's and the reversing falls while in the area (passports please).

    Planning a Pacific Coast Highway trip - looking for suggestions

    Don't rule out some of the inland roads in Cal. Especially when you get closer to LA area. The Butler maps are good to have if you prefer 'motorcycle' routes.

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    The wind squelch I was referring to was the VOX mic muting. Once triggered when using intercom, if there's any 'wind' noise, the VOX frequently stays open-mic and everyone gets to hear you breath. The Cardo VOX works correctly and mutes when voice is done.

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    I agree with using what your usual group uses. BUT! The Cardo Edge is clearly a better unit than the Senas. I have both but have shelved the Senas (10, 20, &50) because the Senas ARE NOT WATERPROOF and WIND NOISE IS NOT SQUELCHED. The Cardo Edge IS both waterproof and the noise cancelation...

    Any tips on removing all left side panels on 2020+ RT, especially the large panel?

    I've done it both ways and prefer removing the smaller panel and floorboard before the big panel. You can reach the front scrivet easier with glossy off. It's a PIA to put back but harder if floorboard isn't removed and it's dirt easy to take off.

    Planning a Pacific Coast Highway trip - looking for suggestions

    You didn't say where in Oregon you want to go, so I'll offer Bend, Or. as a via city. From Denver Mile High Stadium you can take I70W to US40W to Co125N to Hwy239N to I80W to I84W to I86W to Hwy78W to US95S to Hwy78W to US20W. That is 20 hrs saddle time or 2 1/2 days at 8 hrs/day. From Oregon...

    I got clotheslined!

    Having a 'barn door' for a windscreen comes in handy for more than wind and rain! Imagine riding a naked bike! :yikes:

    Which Lithium Ion battery maintainer - same Lead acid tender, or a new Li tender?

    Lithium batteries need a battery tender/charger designed for lithium batteries. Tradition tenders/chargers can damage a lithium battery. Caveat: Some Lithium batteries are 'smart' and can survive traditional tenders.

    Should there be a bolt thru these Empty holes?

    Those bolts are the lower-back fixings for the big black panels. Whoever had the panels off last didn't replace the bolts.

    What's best for Cold weather winter storage? Fuel additive? Battery care? Rodents?

    Aluminum diamond plate flooring. Basically a textured metal very durable floor. I bought 2 10x5 sheets for a 10x10 bike shed.

    What's best for Cold weather winter storage? Fuel additive? Battery care? Rodents?

    I have a 'summer ride', 2 wheeler that is in my shed for 8 months while I run the Spyder thru the cold months. I add stabil, fill tank with 91 octane (10% eth :yikes:) put on tender, park on AL diamond plate. I do the same thing for the Spyder over the summer. Never had a problem with 1st...

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    My experience has been that the 'Pump Hog' problem tends to happen mostly at the smaller, off the main road, AKA local stations. Those stations often have card reader problems which may be one reason for the delays.

    First long ride coming, 2015 RTS - any advice?

    Depending on your stamina, a 400 mile 1-way run on the slab is not difficult on a Spyder. Average speed (incl. breaks) of 50 mph will take 8 hours in the saddle. Stop at least every 2 hours to stretch your legs. +1 on the Airhawk cushion!

    Just returned from a Route 66 ride - Fantastic Trip!

    Well done! :clap: That trip is still on my bucket list to reach the left coast. So far I haven't gotten past Utah / N.Mex on my runs. Too many things getting in the way of stringing 2-3 weeks together.

    Alternative heated gear that looks promising?!

    5 & 7.4v heated gear has pros & cons. + portable + no bike wiring - limited by battery charge (high settings depletes the battery in <3-4 hrs. - need spare batteries for long days 12v gear runs off the bike's battery so endless heat at all temps. Downsides are higher cost (need separate...

    Never Say a Spyder Can't Flip

    Very scary to watch but if you want to flip your spyder, just cut the wheels and do a quick take-off from a stop and hold your breath.

    When To Replace Belt tensioner/Vibration Damper/Idler Pulley?

    You need to remove all the tupperware on the left side. - Shiney black - lower painted - forward painted - passenger step - floorboard (easier to remove/replace the next piece) - THE BIG BLACK PANEL (not horrible but tedious. go easy)
