• 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.

    Prescription Eyewear

    I visited my local Lenscrafters, Eyemasters and Pearle Vision to try on the differentstyles of glasses/goggles. I found what I liked at Pearle Vision and got prescription bifocal transition googles, convertible to glasses, for $200.

    A Pleasant Surprise at my Dealer

    I took my wife's 08 SM5 in for a front end alignment (just got new front tires) and had them change the clutch fluid and coolant while it was there. We dropped it off on Thursday evening and it was ready to go Saturday evening. On top of the quick turn around, we got out the door for $430. I...

    Rocky Mountain National Park

    Also be aware of the temperature swings. We visited Colorado in July a few years ago and had temps from 40 degress early morning in the mountains to 75 degrees in the foothills.

    jl audio speaker pods

    I definitely agree. I went one step further and removed the Shark speakers and replaced them with some pioneer 250w speakers. The Shark speakers didn't last too long. All together, it was still less than $200.

    Thee Are Priorities In Life!

    There Are Priorities In Life! I came home from work last Thursday and told my wife about a potential job opportunity in Hawaii, but that there is no Spyder dealer there. She said "Damn, I think I would have liked living in Hawaii". Oh well....;)

    Jack / lift

    I have this one, also. It works great under the middle and in the front. I have not had a problem with the fast release/slow release.

    Where do you get your maintenance items?

    I agree with all the posts that have "Baja Ron" in them. If he has it, that's where I get it.

    High heat paint re- visited

    I think lasting a riding season is great! I use a high temp black from RS Hughes on my wife's Spyder. I (or she) have to touch up the end of the pipe (same pipe you have) every few months.

    2011 RS Cruise Control

    I've used this technique for a couple years, only mine is made from a bungee cord. There is actually a guy that sells these on Ebay for $6 and it is $6 well spent...

    Rear wheell axle on fire.

    My wife's rear bearings went out at 32k miles on her 08 and her dealer replaced them, along with the rear wheel sensor, under her RPM extended warranty. :2thumbs:

    tail light lens

    The dealer is correct. Maybe an individual has a lens for sale. When I broke mine, I bought a tail light at Walmart for about 15 bucks and notched the bottom out so the light would shine on the license plate. This was an idea from another member, but I don't recall who. The only adjustment I...

    Paint sport rack and back rest

    My wife did her about a year ago with some alcohol, painters tape and black spray paint. It looks great and she didn't disassemble or sand it.

    power commander

    I don't recall the exact parameters for the closed loop, but I think 7200 is high and it is also affected by throttle position. My wife runs a stock air filter with a free flow exhaust and the PCV w/Auto Tune definitely makes a difference. This is a good thread about the PCV...

    Tunes on a GS

    The speakers came with an L bracket. I mounted them to the bolt that holds the windshield. It is a CHAD shield.

    Tunes on a GS

    I got my wife a Shark Audio system. Mounted the speakers to the windshield bracket and put a small bag between the brackets to hold the amp. The amp gets FM radio and has a slot for an SD card. You can also plug in an mp3 player. I put all her songs on an SD card so she doesn't have to mess...
