• 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.

    Wisecracks about Spyder

    Going to be real honest. My riding brothers ride an Indian, Goldwing and two ride Harleys. They are great guys and I love the heck out of them. They good naturedly ribbed me about my three wheeler when we started riding together, but no longer. On our trips, everyone and I mean everyone we...

    Why would the clock self-reset to 24 HR format? Fixes? Ideas?

    After I changed it the last time has stayed on 12 hours, but I know what you were talking about, it changing to 24. I could never figure out why, but since I changed it after your post, been good to go and that is about the fourth time I have had to do it. :)

    Will Ultimate Passenger backrest interfere with ShowChrome rack/trunk opening?

    Hello Atomic, I agree with RJ on the Spyder to Trike, even in the Goldwing which is a fine machine. Sounds like you ride two up and the issue is comfort for your spouse. One of the reasons I went with the Ultimate seat as well. We had to ride Spyders, a GW and HD trike in our three wheel...

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    Evening and thank you for everyone for weighing in on this. Bought the 225 60 15 from Tire Rack initially. As long as I have an order in for the 215 60 15, which I put in today, they will cover the shipping back and issue a full refund - which I thought was pretty awesome of them. I really...

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    No. I have changed mine considerably. I have to laugh at Partsman23, because I too am an addict and not a recovering one when it comes to this bike. Some of what I have added is fluff, but not much and most is for safety, being seen and just as importantly making this bike as capable as it...

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    Hey Mike, I appreciate your comments and insight on this forum and your last on this thread. I am pretty anal retentive when it comes to my Spyder and if I can eek out any degree of "betterment" on this machine, its a good use of time. :) I will be on on that rear tire for a while and if I...

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    Know there is a lot of conversations about tires on this site and especially since the OEM Kenda tires leave so much to be desired. I have appreciated the information share on this thread. It has made me realize that just because something might fit and its a good replacement, there are other...

    A Message for the Moderators

    Hey Bruce, been on a lot of forums, RAM, BMW, other bike forums and this is by the far the best of any I have tapped into. There is great help and information shared here. Sometimes we don't all agree, but look how many people post here. Not going to get agreement across the board and with...

    Done. Great idea.

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    Thanks Ron, always great information from you. Ron and Forum - I know there are a lot of tire discussions that go on, but it is one discussion point that matters. I see where some are running a 225 60 15, not a 215 60 15 tire, specifically the General Altimax RT43. I got the RT45 after much...

    Using thumb shifter - my solution to a reach issue.

    Gwolf. Glad that you are still riding. I have some physical challenges as well due to a genetic disease that takes its toll gradually as I age and has caught up to me. I love the electronic shifter and the fact that the Spyder downshifts as you brake and hit the 2000 RPM mark. Understand how...

    Thoughts on Pedal Commander vs Pedal Box - & where's yours mounted?

    I have a Pedal Commander and I love it. Have ridden in heavy rain without worry and it gets hit when I spray the bike off, but I don't direct the spray directly at it, however, again, no issues with weather on it. I have a 2018 RTL and I snipped out a very small section of the speaker grill...

    Anyone changed out the auto-levelling system on 2018 Spyder RT?

    Good evening fellow Spyder riders. I have a 2018 Spyder RT Limited. It has the auto leveling feature. If you ride solo or two up, a small compressor will engage and level the bike with the increased or the decreased weight in an effort to help the bike ride level. The stock shock with that...

    Why would the clock self-reset to 24 HR format? Fixes? Ideas?

    Not sure why. I have the same year and model and mine does the same thing. I will try as the one person recommended, just keep resetting it and see if it sticks. It is a bit annoying for sure. I have added a few things like driving lights and a led flag etc and rewired all my connections...

    Can-Am's position on tires

    Thank you for this post. It's one thing to look at a manufacture's web page and look at the tire ratings, but the real test is how do these things perform in the real world with real conditions.

    Can-Am's position on tires

    Hey Mike. I am up for trying anything that will make that bike function and perform better. I appreciate the input on the Q-5's. Definitely consider those on the next swap or if these Federals start declining in performance as they age and start to wear. 20 psi, worked pretty well for...

    Can-Am's position on tires

    Copy what you said Idaho and it makes sense. If the Kenda's had worked out for me on my machine, I too would have gone...meh, I will ride with them. If its working, its working. I was pretty skeptical actually about the Federal's, because they were pretty inexpensive, but when they got here...

    Can-Am's position on tires

    I wanted to post this. I took my 2018 RT on a road trip today after I did a local speed and cornering rally locally on new Federal Formoza's, same size as the KENDA OEM's. Today, temp was never over 41 degrees and up over Snoqualmie Pass and then back on a run to Vantage and then back home...

    Can-Am's position on tires

    Hello all. After the three R's, reading, researching and riding for a few months. I could not get my Kenda's to balance. Spin balance and beads, still got the shimmy from the OEM Kenda's no matter what I tried. It was maddening. It was ALWAYS there, just sometimes worse then others...

    New Rider, First Mod

    Reply to Gordon Hey Gordon, I changed out both the main and the fogs on my 18 RT. Fogs were a pain, but I can say its is worth doing. I am kind of a lighting fanatic and the more that are tastefully done the better. I did want to reply to your post. I had a Suzuki 1000 E model and a Suzuki...
