• 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.

    Have you come up with Additional turn signals for '21 RT?

    The kits are worth the cost unless you're REALLY good with electrical things. It appears that SpyderPops is now selling the plug-and-play power supply for their lights separately They didn't do so previously. It makes tapping into the running and turn signal circuits easy. --Exco

    Radiator Grill Guards install - any easier if shark fins removed first??

    Consider purchasing a 90-degree attachment for your drill. It makes driving the screws in that hold the screens a hell of a lot easier. The one I have linked is just an example, they're available for a bit cheaper. --Exco

    Anyone else experiencing Braking instability? What possible causes?

    I had this issue on my '22 RT-L for the first few hundred miles. I came to realize that it was my grip on the bars. I tend to clench up when there is a "stressful" situation, and emergency braking certainly qualifies. I tested this by doing several "emergency" stops in an empty parking lot at...

    Want to install GPS on 2020 RTL, which one to order? What's the difference?

I have a TomTom Rider 550 that I picked up on Amazon. I went with TomTom due to previous experience with them, and it...

    Need to Tow my 2018 RT - any options? Does U-haul have a suitable trailer?

    You could most likely use a utility-style trailer from u-Haul if that is the route that you want to use. I purchased a 6X12 utility trailer shortly after I purchased my Spyder. I use it for more than the bike, but I upgraded from a 5X10 so that it would fit. So far I have only taken it in for...
