• 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.

    Garmin Zumo XT vs iPhone 14 plus

    Thanks for the comparison and info. We prefer the XT over the iphone, maybe it's habit or maybe familiarity. I'm still learning how to convert the files and import them, eventually I'll get there. I really like the "reshape route", when it works. We had a 6-day trip up/down the PNW coast and...

    Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

    We park in the "cage" parking spots all the time, but take advantage of the "motorcycle" status when riding a ferry (Western WA)... First on, first off is kinda nice! And yes, we now qualify for senior discount making the ride a bit nicer.

    Has anybody installed the OEM adjustable wind deflectors on 2020+ RTL?

    We installed the adjustable OEM units when they became available on our 2020RT's, they do make a difference.

    Rear Brake seems to be Hunting

    Update, I replaced all rotors and pads, still experienced the "pulsing/surging" when coming to a stop, my wife's RT does not have this issue. I am taking it to the local dealer to resolve the issue. I think the issue is related to the ABS.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    We had the brake switch (recall) on both RT's taken care of this morning @ Lifestyles Honda in Mt. Vernon, WA. Last night I replaced the front rotors and pads on my RT, the right side rotor was warped and the backing plates on the pads were discolored. It brakes much smoother now, although I can...

    Rear Brake seems to be Hunting

    Thanks for responding. I agree, we should not be having any issues with the brakes with less than 7k miles. Things have gotten significantly worse in a very short period of time, the pulsing has increased and the right fender shakes violently while braking. I have decided stop riding the RT...

    What bike did you ride to get your motorcycle license ??

    My 1st test took place in Oshkosh, WI in 1983 on a 1982 Honda 650 Nighthawk, left over stock at 50% of the new model, should have opted for the Kawi GPZ550 for the same price. The course was laid out with lights and sensors, I didn't do well and had to pass the last section or fail, quick...

    Ever taken the ferry between South Baymouth, Ontario, and Tobermory?

    That sounds like a great ride! We frequently take the ferry from Mukilteo, WA to Whidbey Island, then ride North on the Island, then ride South on the mainland back to Camano Island. Did a little ride on San Juan Island a few weeks ago, if you catch the direct trip ferry, it's an hour from...

    Rear Brake seems to be Hunting

    I'm been feeling a surge when coming to a stop on my 2020 RT w/6,500 miles on the clock. We had similar situation with the front rotors of one our other vehicles shortly after have a brake job, which included cutting the rotors down a bit. It started immediately after panic stop, but I've never...

    Too hot to ryde!

    Yeah, we lived in Vegas and Henderson, NV for several years, even spent time in Pahrump as part of our territory, we did tactical training at Front Sight, which was really great. After living in and working in Fresno, CA the Intense dry heat was a bit too much after a while. We moved to...

    Anyone tried Shortening the rear mud flap?

    I did cut mine off at the mark/groove as mentioned above as it was distorted, like something had been pressed into it for an extended period of time. The stealership (no longer a dealer) agreed to replace it, but then backed out at the last moment. I tried heating it up to reshaping it, but it...

    HowTo: Remote Garage Door Opener

    I was going to install a mo-door unit with the rocker switch but need that spot for something else. I ended up installing the universal motorcycle unit from mo-door on our RT's. They are waterproof and don't "stick out" at all, the switch is small ribbon/compression switch which blends right in...

    2021 RTL handle bar position and riding posture...need a fix?

    HELIBARS All the way. Not inexpensive, but totally worth it. At first, I looked at the cost and balked, after several long rides and way too much recovery time we made the investment, best upgrade to date. We both have issues with arthritis in our hands and I have shoulders issues, these bars...

    Any tips on 2020+ RTL Left side inner panel removal?

    I really struggled with all the plastic fasteners on our RT's, but it gets easier with time knowing which way to push/pull/lift in order to remove the panels. There are post regarding the removal of the center part of the "clips" with a small/micro flat blade screwdriver. I ran across a tip for...

    Front storage USB port not charging quickly enough - any ideas?

    I wanted a way to charge our comms and the phone at the same time, even when the RT's were not running and I did not want the USB ports to be exposed to the elements. I found a dual USB charger adapter with switch and voltmeter on amazon, link below. I drilled a hole at the back of the storage...
