• 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.

    @BLUEKNIGHT911 - I am not sure. @PW2013STL shared the tire rack link above. Doing a tire rack search for those sizes, it only shows 3. Vredestein Quatrac, Vredestein Quatrac 5 and the Continental CONTIPROCONTACT (which the ratings are not near as good)...

    Tire availability? 165/55R15

    Yeah, the Vredestein QUATRAC 165/60R15are on backorder as well. These sized tires are practically extinct. The local major brand tire dealers don't even show them in their warehouses and (out of curiosity) ask me what am I trying to put them on...

    Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

    Update. I have an appt to get the front tires replaced for the 3rd time since March...but, this time with a different brand if I can find a size which will fit and is in stock...the stock sized tires are 165/55R15 and are impossible to find.

    Tire availability? 165/55R15

    I have a 2021 F3 Ltd. I want to stay (if possible) with the same size (165/55R15) to fit the wheels I have now. But, I can only find Kenda and Vee Rubber. I do not want either. I'd at least prefer the Federal Formoza, Achilles ATR-K Economist...but, I'm game to review other tires. It seems...

    Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

    #1 - I mentioned vibrations in this bike...no, it is shaking / wobbling in the dash and windshield and trickling down to my feet and at times my butt. #2 - So...the bike still wobbles / shakes. And, since everything THAT IS NOT aftermarket is up to specs per BRP and dealership...and, BRP has...

    Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

    NOTE: I need to start off by saying...as many can relate...life has been crazy the past few years for everyone and every business, so I apologize for reading as if I am still not happy with anyone or any one company. It's all just been slow...and I'm not always patient. The Spyder family and...

    Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

    BTW, this post concerns my brand new not even 2 month old rather sexy looking 2021 F3 Limited...sorry, I should have posted that as well. She just rides like a pissed donkey...extreme exaggeration, but still rides bad with shaking starting about 55-60mph in my feet and the faster I go, the...

    My bike is still shaking in the front end while riding over 55+ and never stops. I had a swaybar installed when I bought the bike...so far, nothing is helping. See pic...I noticed this bolt looking like it is not attached correctly...but, it also look like it could be on a ball where this is...

    Rear fairing for top trunk removal on 2019 F3-L

    Hey Peter...I will talk to the service manager at Head and see if they will swap wheels as you mentioned...good idea btw. In the meantime, a local fellow Spyder ryder / friend said he'd be willing to swap wheels to checkif Head cannot. I have read as well where someone had gone through 3 sets...

    Rear fairing for top trunk removal on 2019 F3-L

    So...I bought this bike from Pitbull. They balanced the wheels 3 times and could not get the front end to not shake. Head Motors balanced them stating 3.5 total ounces were off both wheels combined. Even after they balanced them, the shake is still there. I will not use aftermarket parts or...

    @McRuss, I am going to try and remove my top case this week. As far as the rear fender / fairing goes, it is still trapped on the Canadian border per my dealership. I will post that information about it when I get it...dealership will mail it to me instead of me having to go way back down...
