• 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.

    Need to move brake from RHS to LHS - can you help?

    Here in the UK there is a charity called NABDA, National Association for Bikers with Disabilities. They help out with modifying bikes and trikes for people with problems like yours, amputees and even wheel chair users at no cost. Maybe there is something similar in the USA. Good luck.

    Is there any way to keep the windshield up instead of raising it each ride?

    BamaJon, Yes you are correct. whether the screen is up or down when you switch the ignition off, that is where it will return to. So hold the screen switch wherever you want it.

    Is there any way to keep the windshield up instead of raising it each ride?

    On my 21 S2S you have to raise the windshield while the bike is running then hold the switch in the "up" position while switching the ignition off. Whenever you switch the ignition off the screen will then return to the up position even if you have lowered it for some reason.

    Should there be a bolt thru these Empty holes?

    I recently replaced the left side side box opening cable on my 2021 S2S. There was definitely a bolt in that position on my bike. If I remember it was a 6mmx20mm or 25mm bolt with a largish washer top and bottom with nyloc nut. It locates the large black side panel, a metal bracket on the frame...

    Harley Trims Motorcycle Shipments

    Part of the Harley problem may be that the UK and the EU have banned chrome on everything. Apparently you cannot even privately import a small part for your bike if it has chrome plating.

    Are Tire 'Flat Stoppers' necessary for winter storage??

    If you are concerned about the tyres developing flat spots, why not leave it up on a lift. I leave my S2S up on my Big Blue during the winter, but for other reasons.

    Brake fluid in Reservoir & above the seal - anyone else seen this?

    From my basics knowledge of hydraulics and vehicle brake systems, brake fluid does not move around the system. It is simply a medium for transferring pressure from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders. The fluid does travel in the pipes very slightly to move the pistons in the brakes but...

    How do I access/remove the rear saddlebag cables to lube them? '21 RTL

    I believe there was a recall on early 2021 models for the fitting of stainless cables to the saddlebags. Modern cables should not be lubricated as it affects the lining material causing sticking.

    Are there any Universal Bar-end weights to fit a Sea to Sky?

    As someone in the UK who has spent a fortune on bling for my S2S, I can tell you that postage and tax can double the USA prices to get an item into my sticky hands. Alan.

    Iconic aeroplanes!

    Spitfire I live in the UK and last year did a tour on my S2S of south east England. As I was passing close to Biggin Hill, a WW2 fighter base, I decided to drop in to take a look around the hangers of the Biggin Hill Heritage Factory. To cut a long story short, I managed to get a 45min flight...

    Review: EazyRider BigBlue Spyder Jack

    I have had my Big Blue Lift for about 15 years now. Initially purchased for my 1800 Gold Wing, it has been used by several friends for their solos once they have purchased the necessary adaptors. I know that a cat delete is not doable unless you lift the bike as high as you want, then place car...

    2021 RT rear hand grips turned brown - any solutions?

    Hey Little Blue, Never had anyone on the back of the bike and here in the UK excess sun is not an issue either.

    How much torque is needed for the 2 front spindle bolts/nuts top and bottom?

    While you're in that area, why not replace the bottom shock bolts with "eye" bolts in case the bike ever needs to be towed? These bolts are available from various vendors, though I got mine from a local boat chandler.

    2021 RT rear hand grips turned brown - any solutions?

    On my 2021 Sea to Sky the rubber end caps on the passenger hand grips have turned brown. I have tried various cleaners and polishes, but nothing turns them back to black for long. Has anyone else had this problem and discovered a solution. Thanks, Alan.

    Chrome or Blacked-out - am I the only one who likes Chrome??

    Here in the UK, from later this year, chrome plating is being banned. Even imported items or whole bikes or anything else must comply (except aviation). Guess we will be going back to the dark ages. Alan.

    Are these genuine Goodridge Speed Bleeders? Help!?!

    Just received a set of supposedly Goodridge Speed Bleeders. From reading up on them I believed they come either as stainless or zinc plated with red sealant on the threads. The ones I received are not stainless or zinc plated and the sealant is grey. Have they sent me a set of non-genuine items...

    Lift Jacks Revisited - what's a viable lift jack to SAFELY raise a Spyder?

    Another shout-out for the Big Blue. What I do not think has been mentioned is that you can buy adaptors that allow you to work on various bikes. I first purchased mine for my 1800 Gold Wing, then got the fittings for my Triumph Rocket Three, and then for my RT. Try and do that with a Harbour...

    Is it OK to let the swing arm hang during 2021 rear wheel removal?

    Thanks to all for the replies. The reason I asked was that I wasn't sure if the swing arm would be left hanging on the air bag or does it rest on something else, the cat maybe.

    Is it OK to let the swing arm hang during 2021 rear wheel removal?

    Not removed a rear wheel for a long time. I have all the tools and knowledge EXCEPT, my memory fails me on one point. I usually remove the lower damper bolt to allow the wheel to drop low enough to get the belt off. Is it OK to let the swing arm just hang while I get the new tyre fitted (...

    What panels need to be taken off to do the Brake switch recall?

    Dealer techs. When I purchased my first Spyder RT it was from a new dealership here in the UK. I asked to speak to the BRP tech guy for some info... The techs training amounted to several hours on the BUDS computer and nothing else, he had not even ridden one of our bikes. Alan.
