• 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.

    Rear Tire HUB removal ..... do I take it off as well?

    When I bought my 2014 RT, I knew it would eventually be needing a rear tire replacement. After this riding season I figured it would be a great time to replace the tire. And, many thanks to those who have suggested tire types for replacement. So I'm asking this question in advance. I have...

    Removing Panels from 2021 Canam RT-S2S

    Got to Love a Success story! :clap: Congrats to you. I felt the same as you when I first got my 2014 RT a few months back. I watched many many videos before attempting anything, let alone the Tupperware removal. Once I did it though, it was a piece of cake afterwards. My first install was a...

    How do you dress for a ride?

    :agree: It's 85 here in my neck of the woods today. I went out for a ride earlier. I pretty much ride 80% of the time just as you described. Shorts, long or short sleeve pullover shirt, and definitely Gloves, and Helmet. But that's my style when it's hot out. I ride for comfort when riding. On...

    How do you dress for a ride?

    My thoughts exactly! I dress for the ride, weather, and whether it be local or long distance. Always have my helmet on though. Heck, just walking out your front door these days can get you shot, but I'm not about to start wearing a bullet proof vest either. To each their own. Be safe, ride...

    Ground Effects lighting ?

    update: Just an update to my lighting dilemma. Lo and behold, once again the ground effect lights were on this morning when I looked into the garage. So I went into search mode. Found the Receiver under the left side of the tupperware. I am so thankful I installed the Magic Mirrors. :2thumbs...

    Handicap Placards - What is the actual benefit?

    Thanks 2dogs for your inspiring words. My motto: I try and maintain a positive outlook regardless of the situation at hand. Most often when I approach another disabled person ( generally amputees more often than not ) I always make it a point to greet and acknowledge them. So many times they...

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Same here, no mods. Left Below Knee Amputee. My main reason for the Spyder, upgraded from a Honda Silver Wing 600 Touring Scooter. Liked my SilverWing, but Love my :f_spider:. more!:clap:

    Ground Effects lighting ?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure what type system is installed, as it came with the Spyder when I bought it. No switch to be seen. I'm leaning towards "no switch" available. Am having no luck finding the receiver as of yet. I did look under the frunk liner, in the battery compartment and...

    Ground Effects lighting ?

    I was thinking the same thing as well. Possibly a local transmitter close by, or in passing by my home. Not sure which system is installed, but I did read about possibly a switch being installed. I will have to look and see if there is a switch installed somewhere on the the chassis. Now that I...

    Ground Effects lighting ?

    Thanks, 2dogs. You could be on to something here. I didn't give one thought about the receiver possibly being the culprit for this lighting. Although, I'm not sure where to even start to look for a receiver on these strips. Any suggestions?

    Ground Effects lighting ?

    Hey All, Have a question regarding my Ground Effect Lighting. First off let me say that the Ground Effects with Remote, I'm assuming aftermarket here, came with the Spyder when I bought it. I have noticed that twice now that the lights have came on automatically while sitting in the garage...

    Handicap Placards - What is the actual benefit?

    Thanks for the kind words. Prior to my Amputation, over the years, I had visited countless PT's. I developed a great Camaraderie with them all. Shared many great laughs, and "Ouchie" moments with them. Especially Hydro-Therapy. The worst was "packing and debridement" :yikes:, but the best...

    Handicap Placards - What is the actual benefit?

    Hopefully I can enlighten your curiosity a bit on this subject. I am a 62 year old left leg amputee, have been since 2001. The extra spacing adjoined next to the HC spots at your Apt. Complex, even though possibly you may have never viewed being used with wheelchairs, walkers, etc, most people...

    Maguires Ultimate Car Wash is a Winner!

    :agree: I have been using Maguire's Ultimate Car Wash for years on my vehicles, and camper as well. Love how it cleans and shines at the same time. Easy on the finishes as well. It's a winner for making the Spyder shine! :thumbup:

    Spyder Sightings

    Couple of weekends ago coming back from Carbondale, Il. we passed a group of 4 Spyders, all 2 up, passing through downtown Pinckneyville, Il. Looked like a fun bunch as we all did the big waves, and smiled in passing. We have 1 Ryker in our little town as well.

    I'm always up for a road trip. If I get down that way, I'll look you up.:2thumbs: I have seen 2 others here locally in the past, it's a rare occasion though. One passing through I spoke with, and another while shopping at Walmart. We are of the few, that's for sure. At least in my area.

    Titan Trailer - how do I load so the Spyder front end won't catch?

    Great advice! When I bought my Spyder, I found this to be the easiest method of all......and I just happen to have different drop down ball mounts for various uses over the years. Even using 2 x 4's under the rear trailer edge helps to raise the rear trailer height just enough to keep the...

    Rent A Trailer? Towing Can Am RT From Charlotte to Durango and Back

    This is the exact sized trailer we used to haul our Spyder home with, minus the ramp. Mine is a tilt trailer, and did great loading and unloading. Just make sure the inside dimension was 6' x 12'. Once strapped down, it rode perfectly home. Success! :thumbup:

    That's good to know as to the longevity of this tire. I know ( assuming here... but you know the old saying :lecturef_smilie:) it's reached almost all of those miles from the looks of it. Not quite to the indicators, but close. I should be good for the rest of the season. I'm an easy rider. I...
