• 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.

    Spyder group riding etiquette

    Our club is mainly a two wheel club with several trikes and a Spyder. Trikes should go to the back because they block a wider view than a motorcycle. The same cannot be said for the Spyder. They can be anywhere in the group. They don't block the view nearly as much as a trike. We ride staggered...

    A mistake I'll never make again

    I have ran foam grips for years. Installing them with soap or hand sanitizer is the hard way to install. I use an air hose with a 6" nozzle. Place the end of the foam grip on the end of the bar then pinch the grip on the opposite end with the air nozzle. Hit the air and give them a push. 2...

    Covering holes in the trunk lid

    I would go to Fastenal and see what you can find for plugs. Or get body molding plastic pop rivets. The rivets would probably look like they belonged there as anything else might look like an add on.

    Thanks to this forum, with a tip of the padded elbows to Bohn

    I have a set of the all season adventure pants that I bought in August. I haven't ridden in 100° temps yet. They are great with a good pair of Duluth Trading ballroom jeans though in 80° and below. In summer, I will ride with a pair of mesh pants with these under them. Jeans are just to hot...

    Used Spyders

    Average of 5,500 miles a year is pretty low as far as miles go. If it is a private sale, ask for service records. If it has been maintained without any serious issues, you should be good. Like anything you buy though, there is always a risk.

    Non-Ethanol Gas - really like

    I have been burning 10% ethanol fuels since the early 80's. I have never had a problem with it. Over 300,000 miles on different bikes and no problems whatsoever. You might get a couple more MPG on straight gas but at what cost? It runs 30 cents a gallon more most of the time in IA. Some of you...

    Saddlebag interior straps??

    I have spent a lot of my free time trying to find something that is available. So far no luck. Maybe a do it yourself winter project at home for me. Such a simple safe guard for a saddlebag popping open.

    Touring pants

    I wear just underwear under my riding pants. Motoport brand custom fit pants. My wife does the same. I have a set of Olympia Air Glide pants that I do the same in. I also have a set of Bohn Armour pants that I can wear under jeans. They are quite comfortable and offer me the protection I want. I...

    Touring pants

    Sounds to me you like two have a false sense of security. I agree that it doesn't matter what gear you have on when a vehicle hits you hard enough on two wheels or three. What happens when a vehicle hits you just hard enough to send you flying off the bike? Those shorts and sandals you are...

    Touring pants

    Look at Olympia air glide pants. They come with a rain liner and a cold weather liner. As far as whats on sale, buy what you want, not whats on sale. It is always the cheapest option in the end.

    Storage for Two Up on the RT Long Ride

    1st and foremost is good riding gear. Other items: 1. Jeans take up a lot of space so only 1 pair. You can wear them for a week without washing them, maybe longer if you are only wearing them for a few hours a day. 2. Shorts - 1 -2 pair 3. Socks - 1 - 2 pair and switch out each day and wash...

    2018 RTL front tires

    I know I am beating a dead horse on the topic but the search feature kinda sucks on the forum. It would be nice if there was a Sticky at the top that had a listing of all the tires and brands that people have used that will work. We have a 2018 RTL and I need to start looking for new front...
