• 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.

    Greg, anyone can ship using Pirateship. I have shipped a ton of items with them this year after selling my motorcycle and getting rid of lots of items that I had with brand X. John

    I have been using "Pirateship.com" for awhile now. They list UPS< USPS and a couple of others and give commercial pricing. I have saved a ton and there is no cost to sign up. Hope this helps John

    Anyone here run Elka or M2 shocks? Your take on them?

    I just read those post (about rebuilding) also. Then I started to do some more research and found that there are thousands of Elka shocks sold and very few issues. The posts that I did find were mostly years old and from what I have found that Elka did have a problem with a supplier years ago...

    Anyone here run Elka or M2 shocks? Your take on them?

    I put a set of used Elka Shocks on my wifes 2018 F3L a couple of years back. She already had the BajaRon sway bar and she said that the sway bar was a night and day better difference in the handling. Then when I added the front and rear Elka shocks, she said it was a completely different...

    Surfing YouTube and came across this - Counting Cars Custom Spyder!

    Thanks for posting that. Awesome to know that others are continuing to make the Spyder accessible to so many that would not have had the opportunity to enjoy what so many of us already love. John

    Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed

    I have used it twice now. Would have cost me far more than the price I paid from IMotorsports. If I had never used it (for me) it would have still been worth the cost just for the peace of mind knowing it was there. Hope this helps John

    Does a Driver Backrest make riding more comfortable?

    Years ago I would have said that it did not make a difference. However that was before I ever had one. I have had them on my motorcycles for the past 20 years and loved them. There was one installed on my Spyder that I transitioned to two months ago and honestly if it had not been previously...

    Parking Brake locked up - off to dealer to fix Module Failure...

    It started out as a short ride to fill up on gas for the next day's group ride while attending the Green County Spyder Jamboree. It ended up with my wifes 2018 F3L's parking brake not releasing. I want to jump ahead and say that "YES" I have read the many write ups on this happening to others...

    Violent front end shake after getting sway bars

    Just bought my 2019 F3L less than two months ago. It had the Baja Ron swaybar already installed. My wifes 2018 F3L was her second Spyder in 2018 (she bought the F3 originally and then wanted the bags a few months later so hence the trade in). We put a Baja Ron swaybar on the F3 and she said...

    Warranty worries - will doing the work myself void the warranty?

    Take a look at the "Moss Magnuson Act". Basically it does cover your question about voiding warranty. Short answer is NO it is not voided. However that is not to say that some dealers have still refused to honor warranty claims and have had to be taken to court. Added to that, there is a...

    applause for factory installer.

    Just removed the factory exhaust off of my 2019 F3L. I put on an RLS Crusher I came across on FB marketplace. Love the look and the sound with the CAT delete pipe from Baldwin Ironworks. What I did not love was the removal of the exhaust hanger bolt. On the old man scale it was a Three...

    Baja Ron Customer service.

    I had an experience the other night/day that I am still a bit stunned by. A couple of nights ago I was out in the garage and was looking at my new to me 2019 F3L and I could not figure out if the sway bar was a Baja Ron or not. So I emailed Ron later in the evening, fully expecting that if...

    Do new design Air Wing mounts stop housing coming loose?

    I have been reading about Baker Built Air Wings and have sent an email asking some questions but I was hoping that some folks here might have more information for me. I have a 2019 and 2018 F3 Limited. I have heard that the new design of the mounting of the Air Wings has a bolt that helps...

    Tire Pressure Observation

    Jim, I for one am looking forward to your results on tire pressure at different altitudes (if you decide to continue checking them). I found your first post very interesting as it was something I had not thought about. As others have said "ride", but I would like to add one of my favorite...

    ISO - grips with air flow

    Monica, yes the leather like grips from Lamonster are the ones I just installed on my Spyder. I really like them. For me it has taken away a lot of the vibration I was getting in my hands. I have been riding in the morning and later evenings here in Texas with the WX being close to triple...
