• 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.

    AAA- Upcoming less coverage.

    It may be semantics, but I received a flyer in the mail from AAA, stating that they will pay $500 per allowable motorcycle service call (Plus RV and Premier Coverage), up to $1000 per household per year. More verbiage stating "Members will be responsible for all costs above" (parsed) caused my...

    Packing the RT for a trip

    I concur with the Hopnel bags. I bought all of them, but do not use the big front bag. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-5-pc-set-2-Saddlebag-Liners-3-Piece-Trunk-Liner-Set-Can-Am-Spyder-RT/301895256162?hash=item464a5c0862:g:K~YAAOSwnDZT81C0 The small bag that's supposed to go in the Frunk with...

    Switched power on 2018?

    When I was installing my GPS the fuse got toasted when I was doing my power checks. Seems like the accessory fuse in the frunk is a small 5 amp, so that is all you can provide for all the accessories hooked to that circuit.

    Batteries (again)- Yuasa vs. third party, gel?

    I just did my 2018 RTL. Undo the negative post first. Then remove all wiring. Next you have to get the upper retaining bracket out of the way. Kind of a blind operation, it has two hooks that fit in slots way up in there. Once that is out of the way you tilt the battery out top first. Kind...

    Coronavirus contd. - some perspective

    :agree: One caveat to that we're all OK thing. Every health reporting agency is spewing the litany of it killing the old and infirm, especially those with underlying conditions. Care to venture a guess about how many of us fit that demographic that are on this site? I am one of those warned...

    More daylight

    I for one wish they would leave the time alone. Either way is fine for me, just set it and leave it there.

    Coronavirus - what have done to prepare for this ???

    It's funny, but a lot of preparation is state of mind. I have evacuated for over 25 or more hurricanes over the years, along with various other problems around the globe. Been caught short a few times, had to ride it out. Things come into real clear perspective when you get a few under the...

    Harley-Davidson CEO Resigns

    I agree it's a management and lack of fore-site problem. Around 2002 I had discretionary income to buy a Road King. I had flogged my 1977 Electra Glide for 135,000 troublesome miles (I say it broke in every state I rode it in). The Harley dealer tried to get MSRP plus 15%. I told them to get...

    Coronavirus - what have done to prepare for this ???

    I saw an interesting article where the writer made the connection of the treatment regiment for the Spanish Flu apparently may have been the cause of a lot of the death associated with it. Treatment at the time was (allegedly) mass dosing aspirin, which caused blood toxicity (?). I'm seeing so...

    Next Gen Spyder Drvetrain

    As I understand it the Honda DTC has 2 clutches, one for each shaft in the transmission. This allows it to automatically shift up and down. Our Spyders having the one clutch only have half of our shifting available as automatic. At least that's the way the article described it.

    2017 Rt limited - what GPS Unit?

    I bought a Zumo 595LM on sale and it fit the 590 OEM brackets. IT's suppsoed to be an upgrade over the Zumo 660 it replaced.

    Next Gen Spyder Drvetrain

    If I understand the Honda DTC transmission with its 2 clutches, it can be used semi-auto or fully auto at the riders discretion. Pitch in Honda DTC riders, let me know. No personal experience with the new stuff.

    Next Gen Spyder Drvetrain

    Kind of like the old Cummins in a Ford truck body thing, my take is a Honda 1800 flat engine with the DTC transmission wedged in this thing with a shaft drive would make an absolutely wonderful ride. No rocks to worry about with the belt either!

    Securing Freedom Trailer when not connected to Spyder

    https://www.amazon.com/Trimax-TWL100-Ultra-Max-Adjustable-Wheel/dp/B003E1GLSM/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=trimax+wheel+lock&qid=1582766870&sr=8-4 I use something similar to this. Just make sure to get one with a plate to cover the lug nuts so the wheel can't be removed. If the trailer is not...

    Milk or Non-dairy Coffee creamer ... OR ????

    That link wasn't open. I didn't have the status to open it? As an aside, I did try the powdered milk and was disappointed. It doesn't dissolve well in the hot coffee, leaving floating clumps no matter how much you stir it. Best taste nod in my book goes to heavy whipping cream, but that stuff...

    2020 RT series are cool, but who's keeping their old Spyder

    My dealer pretty much killed the prospect of a 2020 for me when he depreciated my 2018 by 40% (As trade in) in a period of 10 months. I'll stick with my 2018 RTL, warts and all.

    Battery Life

    The thing about off brand is that nowadays, which one is it? The longest I had any battery last was the OEM Kawasaki AGM with some weird name like SuperPower of something similar. On the other hand my "made in USA" Yuasa died in 10 months. One thing I know, don't get your batteries from the...

    Need advice on 18 inch floor boards on 2017 RT?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=552&v=Mj8cx_0Zdqs&feature=emb_logo This is the only thing I've seen about an 18" floorboard. I'm not sure about the 2017 RT, but in my 2018 RTL if you install these you will lose the rubber isolation the OEM floorboards offer. While I would really...
