• 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.

    Headlight problem

    First thing I would check is fuses. And go to LEDs if you decide to change the headlights.

    Windshield. Acrylic or Polycarbonate

    I don't know the meaning of "third hand information" but both acrylic and polycarbonate will shatter if untreated. It's what the manufacturers do with the polymers that makes the difference. Is an acrylic windshield more likely to break in the dead of a Minnesota winter versus a warm summer day...

    Fender reflectors seem loose

    I suggest going with the 3M tape, then you won't have to mess with them again. Even better, replace them with lighted reflectors and add some visibility.

    Vibration Damper Roll Call

    Two tropical storms in the Caribbean and Gulf

    Bret formed out of the Atlantic, the earliest named storm to do so. Should not affect the US but it's not a good time to go to Aruba. The other system just upgraded to Cindy and will affect the Gulf Coast from TX to FL. Over a foot of rain possible in some areas. Storm will then head north and...

    Why not on of these 3 cyl engines

    A salesman at a DE dealer said he had done 110 mph in first gear on a Hayabusa. Don't know if that's possible with the red line, but that was his claim.

    Weather app.?

    Many weather apps will default to your current location for convenience. I use mostly My Radar and Weather Bug. The Weather Bug app is useful for showing lightning in the area.

    Ultimate seats

    You need to go to an Ultimate booth at an event and sit on a demo seat. Some people are perfectly fine with the stock seat. My bad back needed the Ultimate. Don't base your purchase on others opinions.

    Upgrades to our Vibration Damper!

    Doc - Since we have no "season" here in Floriduh, how important is the grease fitting? I would think the arm would move very little sitting on the belt. As an alternative can I shoot some Teflon lube in there I use on bike chains?

    where to use tie downs on an RT when trailering

    There are multiple threads on towing techniques that are available through searching. Some strap down over the front tires, some through the wheels with padding. Only consensus (I think) is not to strap to any parts of the Spyder body which isn't designed for it.

    Battery Tender when to use?

    No, but a car battery has a much greater storage capacity to absorb parasitic power drains than the Spyder.

    Battery Tender when to use?

    Mine is plugged in whenever the bike is parked. See no reason not to do this.

    Threads cost money

    This is why our Spyder is the "Fat White Chick" and my Suzuki was the "Redhead." My wife has always called them the other woman that gets more attention than she.

    US Total Eclipse August 21, 2017

    There will be a total solar eclipse over many US states on August 21. A site we are using for planning our trip to SC is https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com Remember to never look directly at the sun without adequate eye protection. We hope the weather will cooperate for us on the East Coast.

    Anyone know how to remedy Hyperflash?

    TricLED told me to hold the emergency flasher button for 30 seconds with the engine running, because the reset is sensitive to voltage. That's worked for me.
