• 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.

    Heel/Toe Shifter

    Yup. Looks like I'm a little late to the party as always. Oh well- free plug for site sponsor I guess. ;)

    Not a fan of bras on anything (or anyone) but nice to see more options for the :spyder2:.

    On eBay. Looks interesting. Anyone try one out yet? I applaud this guy for his initiative.

    this guy spent some money on his or her spyder

    :gaah: "It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few." Pythagoras

    this guy spent some money on his or her spyder

    The forum/IM mentality begets bad etiquette. We stop being empathetic, thoughtful humans in favor of being horribly honest behind the veil of anonymity. The owner did not post those pics and probably doesn't come here. But one day he might. I'm only saying we should take a few extra seconds...

    what to look for in a painter

    See his gallery of work and take notice of his attention to detail. Make sure he's familiar with your medium (e.g. plastic). Ask for references and call them. Be sure to ask them the following: - Did the painter get the job done in the time expected - Was the final output reflective of...

    this guy spent some money on his or her spyder

    I have to agree with Deb. Comments should be constructive. That being said, if you have a radical modification done and decide to post it anywhere, you have to expect some grief. As someone who has been there, I can tell you it sucks to dump all that money and man hours into an idea to have it...

    New Riding Glasses

    Quality is sufficient. I hesitate to say great because digital cameras nowadays are easily 8+ megapixel and capable of ridiculous resolutions. 1.3 is standard for cellphones and provides a resolution of 1280x1024 which is still pretty darn good for everything from desktop wallpaper to 5x7...

    New Riding Glasses

    I purchased a 1GB (4GB available) pair of MP3/camera sunglasses today. The camera is 1.3 megapixel and is operated via an IR remote. The glasses charge and transfer files via a 2.0 USB (mini) connection. I paid $50. I know many riders feel earbuds are dangerous when riding but I'm not among...

    Riding FAQ

    As I learn more and more about V-twins and MCs in general, I'm finding that there's a lot of contradicting theories out there. Please help me answer some of these and feel free to add your own. Engine Braking - Saves the brakes or breaks the transmission? High RPMs - Do they significantly...

    After Market Paint Cracking Problem

    My painter added flaws such as scrapes and burn marks into the paint. It fit my theme of a war machine that's seen some combat. I ride almost 3k/month in the summer (more this year) so I gave up on expecting my high dollar paint job to stay cherry. It all depends on how you ride it, I suppose...

    After Market Paint Cracking Problem

    I had problems with my 1st paint job (solid red). I suspect this is common for well-ridden Spyders. That's why I decided to go with a worn look for the third.

    Earplugs while riding spyder

    Pfft. I don't need earplugs. What?? :joke: I had a tire blow up in my face last year and lost some hearing there. I 'm going to try a few different plug options this weekend to retain what little is left!

    don't like smoking your tires?

    The exhaust is a Tailgunner Rotary Cannon- about as custom as Micron, 2 Bros, or any other manufacturer. Nice exhaust, don't get me wrong (I have one myself). Nice bike overall and a lot of extras. Hats off for something different.

    Spyder Recall!

    My VIN number was not listed as currently qualifying for any recalls but it could be timing.

    Spyder Recall!

    Called the number and left a message with BRP. My dealer wasn't yet aware either but mentioned that they (and other dealers) are already overbooked with an unusually high amount of motorcycle recalls from other vendors too. I won't schedule a recall service until I understand more of the...
