• 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.

    Insurance help

    i use Culver motorcycle insurance. http://www.motorcycleinsuranceus.com/ they actually shop around for you and get a policy with a big company (mine went through Progressive) at a good rate. my Spyder insurance costs less than my car insurance per year. (car roughly 600/yr, Spyder about 550)...

    RPM question - Noobie one, I know, apologies in advance

    i posted something similar in another thread except i was shifting even earlier. it's up to you, the earlier you shift the less gas you are burning to stay at that speed. but if you REALLY wanna hear your engine purr you CAN get up to 50+ in 1st gear. my personal record in 1st is about 35, but...

    Body Panels

    thanks, will look into that (and cost per piece). of course how sad will my little :spyder2: look in the driveway with most body panels removed while they get painted at a shop :( but it is probably WAY cheaper than buying any replacement panels. thanks!

    Body Panels

    does anyone know where to get replacement body panels, the ones that cover the radiator on right and oil check on left, in gloss black? every year model has them the color of the body panels and i don't want matte black (like the phantom black body kits) sadly i only ask because no one here in...

    Mirrors on my RS-S

    i too have a problem with a loose mirror. i adjusted it a few times (since i felt no "lock" into place). the right will come in during hiway speeds (or anything above 50MPH) but the left stays fine. i have tried a locking washer but have not been able to find one i can fit between my extenders...

    Must get rid of head shake

    i have not used one but CalSci makes large windshields too, but all of theirs have a vent (hole in middle lower section) if you really want to be adventurous you can cut out a hole too. this will prevent some of the vacuum based drag and still let you feel some wind. if you try this, please...

    Importing a Spyder from the USA to Canada....

    hmmm, and when is an industrious individual going to start buying Spyders, driving them for one month and then selling it used in Canada? especially if they have a big truck that can pull a trailer with 3 Spyders in/on it? oh, how i wish that were me.......then i would have enough to get the...

    Easy Risers vs Mirror Extensions

    maybe it's because i am broad shouldered but...i HAD to have mirror extenders with the stock setup (form sitting on one in showroom) before i added the 1" riser. sadly i think i am now going to get a 3" riser, but more to pull the grips back further as opposed to higher... mirror extenders seem...

    HINDLE EXHAUST

    thanks. i do occasionally accelerate hard and then don't upshift until around 5k then. mine is an RS-S and yes, it does love to accelerate. of course i am in 5th gear and around 4k rpm at about 50-55mph, which is a lot of my ryde to work. for some reason i think the :spyder: really sounds like...
