• 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.

    Etiquette question?

    Kind of depends on how much room there is to park. I generally park with protecting my spyder from whatever, but if room is tight I try and park as the other bikes are parked provided my spyder fits.

    Givi saddlebags refuse to unlatch

    I had the same problem at first on my 2009 gs/rs and I had to go and loosen the bolts holding the fitment rack enough so it would wiggle around a little then remount the bags and tighten as many bolts as I could with the bags on. Then took the bags off and finished tightening the bolts and...

    How many Spyder Ryders are Retirees? How long and from What?

    After about 4 years Army, 16 years Navy and 12+ DOD Naval Civil Service as an electronics aircraft systems Tech Rep I was fired since I could no longer physically do my job. Lucky for me I had enough years to retire at 55. Love retirement but sometimes I do miss being where the action is.

    What (who) makes the best handlbar risers for an RS SM5 Spyder?

    You don't say what year you spyder have and that can make a difference for newer spyders. As of 2013 they made several changes especially the handlebars and the most common risers will not fit, but prior to 2013 I believe the RS handlebars are the same.

    Maybe trikes are gang exempt?

    And you are surprised? Why? The government has always been tracking any information that could possibly give them the upper hand. They probably keep a list of all people that didn't finish high school also for the same reasons.

    Anyone know where to get Handlebar Risers for 2013 RS-SM5?

    I had those on my 2009 RS also, but they won't work on the 2013 because of the change in handlebars design.

    Anyone know where to get Handlebar Risers for 2013 RS-SM5?

    I have a 2013 RS SM5 and been thinking that the Kewlmetal risers may work if the bar for the 2013 is the same diameter as the bar on the older spyders. Your point on "the throttle cables were replaced by electronic throttle wires, and all wires are encased inside the bracket." makes me wonder...

    My First Spyder

    Welcome AlphaJoe, to the world of spyder roadsters.:clap: I also came from a Burgman 400 and understand about the storage problem. I started out with a leather Bell handlebar bag strapped across my handlebars but found a Motocentric Cruiser Tool Bag that is a little better. I carry a bottle of...

    Off Topic - Scooter Question

    I had a 2009 400 Burgman and found it very reliable and fun to ride. The only reason I switched to a spyder was I found that as I got older at turns when I started moving I started feeling I may not be able to keep it upright and with a spyder that was not a concern. I do miss my Burgman...

    Pain in my hands..

    Sounds to me like you are squeezing the hand grips too tight. Try to loosen up. When my hands start feeling a little numb I open my fingers and wiggle them keeping throttle pushed between my thumb and the joint where it meets my hand. You could also look into a cramp buster throttle control.

    are we sending a mixed message

    What about the fact that this country was built by immigrants. If it was easier for people to get into this country legally then we would not have so many illegals. Most of the jobs the illegals are doing most citizens of the USA would not do especially for the pay.

    Break your mirror? Replace it cheap!

    They said they could not use regular glass due to the fact that car mirrors are translucent to reduce the brightness. It seems to me that would not make a lot of difference. Do you know of any other reason for not using regular glas mirrors or even plastic mirrors?
