• 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.

    Another windshield thread......

    I have a special built 24” Madstad on my ‘17 F3L and no vibration or flopping. In fact seems more solid than stock. Are you sure you have the pivot bolt tightened properly. Not tight as it has to move. All other mounts tight. Try to move it when stopped and see where movement is occurring.

    Spyder Idiosyncrasies.

    I also came from 40+ years on 2 wheels to an F3L. At first the feeling felt really quick and light to me. Especially 2 up. Higher tire pressures, a BajaRon Sway Bar and an alignment helped significantly. Another 3k miles and I now feel good on it. In fact I love it! Give it a little time...

    Use Garmin BaseCamp. Free software from Garmin site. After map is created it can be easily exported to the gps as an .xml file. Piece of cake. I can even do it��.

    Bajaron Sway bar

    The billet aluminum links are worth the change out alone. Was shocked at how cheap the plastic stock links were. And btw, I noticed the new bar driving out of the driveway.
