• 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.

    Mirror Extensions

    As best as I recall, Kewlmetal mirror extensions don't come with or require turn signal wiring extensions. Neither does the ESI Up and Out mirror extensions.

    VIN number last four digits?

    :agree: No two VIN numbers will be 100% identical. The first portion identifies the year and model of the vehicle and the last portion is the sequential build number of that model. For example, a 2008 GS, 2009 RT, 2010 RS, 2011 RT, 2011 RS, etc. could all have the last 4 numbers be 1016 but...

    Rear shock adjustment

    You jacked it up until the rear tire was suspended above the ground, hanging by the shock? If so, then the penetrating oil applied around the adjuster mechanism would be the next thing to try. After that, its just elbow grease to turn the adjuster.

    Something Is Rotten in the Spyder engine

    IMO, a warranty is in place to cover the customer from a bad part or design flaw. Anytime you add something other than stock, the potential is there to damage an otherwise perfectly good piece of equipment. Thats why manufacturers aren't willing to warranty things with a bunch of aftermarket...

    Butcher family????

    Just wanted to update this thread that I did get the RT shocks and got them on my Spyder. They made a huge difference in how stiff the front end of the Spyder feels now. They are not as good as the Elkas but they are much better than stock RS shocks. :thumbup:

    used two-Bros exhaust pipe install

    Regarding the gasket, if there was enough clearance between the Two Brothers pipe and the Y pipe on the Spyder, you could have put the gasket back in there. However, if the Two Brothers pipe isn't designed for using the gasket, its pipe is made to fit very snug over the Y pipe and there is no...

    Who here has installed KewlMetal Adjustable Risers?

    :agree: Between mine and my wife's 2008 GS Spyders, the zip ties were not in the same place nor were the same number of ties used on any particular stretch of cable.

    What does your state visited map mean?

    When I had that map in my sig line, it was only states that I rode my Spyder in. Not sure if I should vote #2 or #4..... After reading the choices again, I picked #2 as I have posted the map before. :thumbup:
