• 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.

    Helmets - which style do you prefer & why?

    Untrue...DOT-certified helmets are required to provide 180 degree or better visibility...most are closer to 190 degrees. You can't do much better than that without a helmet on! Besides, all you'll really see at that point is some movement, but no capability to discern WHAT is moving, WHERE it...

    Kanine tires not certified by BRP

    I kind of figured this was your concern, being in NJ close to PA. Fortunately, NJ no longer (for about 10 years now) requires motorcycles to be inspected. I purchased my ST from a dealer in PA, and had asked about eventually mounting non-Kenda tires...they told me they would do it without any...

    +1 on the Sequential Fenderz...and here is a video (late for you, but maybe useful for the next person) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgAk0hEaUio&feature=youtu.be

    Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

    I still have my 1996 Yamaha Virago 750 with 29k on the clock. Determined to hit 30k this year! Since becoming an MSF coach last year, I ride it about once a month solo to help keep my skills fresh. Also, Janis has yet to get the nerve to take the Spyder for a solo ryde, but if we're are doing a...

    10k mile-stone...

    YES! I had ended a ride 2 days earlier at 9990, so knew it was coming. I gassed up and was heading to meet a friend for a ride to the NJ shore...was on I-95 doing about 80 and then safely pulled off to the shoulder, snapped the pic, paused to confirm it, and then went on my way with a grin...

    Cam Am Spyder Loose Mirrors Fix- F3 and 2020 RT

    Lamont...I watched this video earlier today and am curious...it looks like the mount is very similar, maybe identical, to that on my 2016 ST-S. I posted my 'broken tab' issue in this thread recently, and am waiting on the replacement from CheapCycleParts, but hoping you could comment on this as...

    Favorite Music

    I'm mostly into classic rock/60's/70's, so have Pandora stations set up for Stones, Who, Zeppelin, CCR (and all their contemporaries) in main rotation...but also stuff like Talking Heads, Clash, Ramones , B-52's, Bowie for those 'up-tempo' rydes ;) Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead also, but less...

    Interesting...I think I'll at least check into adding a Tangerine Dream playlist...I've listened to them in the past.

    10k mile-stone...

    2 years, 4 months, 5 days = 10,000 miles of smiles on my ST-S! This is a big deal for me, especially considering my 1996 Virago has about 29k on the clock! Clearly, I am enjoying the ryde :yes: Some observations... 1. 112 fill-ups, average 29.9 mpg, just over $1,000 on premium fuel, according...

    Dealer fun, advice needed

    2 thoughts... Ask the new dealer nicely if he'll hook you up, since you'll likely be back there for service. Contact BRP directly...i think it's [email protected] or something similar...maybe they'll help. BTW... :congrats:

    Suggest ways of Mounting a GoPro type camera to the RT?

    Awesome vid, ThreeWheels! I used to live in Greenwich and have fond memories of trips up and around Bear Mtn and Storm King, 9W, Hunter and beyond. Was that Marcus Dairy or something similar up in Danbury? Now that I'm in central NJ, the Delaware Water Gap and Hawks Nest are typical long-day...

    Need advice - is it worth going to 2 wheels first, or is 3 OK?

    I'll add my 2 cents... I've been on 2 wheels for 30 years, mainly smaller cruisers starting from 250cc up to 750cc (my current Virago), and usually with a passenger. I'm in mid-50's and decided 2+ years ago that since I wasn't getting any taller than my current 5-1 and 26 inseam, and starting...

    Being seen

    Agree...I recently installed the TricLED Fenderz LEDs (which add so much lighting up front day or night), the rear Run/Brake/Turn LEDs on my Givi bag brackets, AND a brake modulator. Very happy with the results of all of this. I will look into upgrading the horn as well.

    Looking for a GO PRO camera to recommend for my 2011 RT

    I have the Cyclops camera that I got from my dealer 2+ years ago, that I never really used. A couple weeks ago, I tried it on the Virago using the included u-bolt setup and it worked nicely. Last weekend, I mounted it to the top of one of my mirrors on my ST-S, using the double-sided tape (after...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Not today, but a while ago, just getting around to posting this. I installed the TricLED Sequential Front Fenderz, Dual Run/Brake/Turn LEDs and a Brake modulator. Super-happy with the results, and sharing the pic and video below (+/- 3 minutes). Ps: I forgot to mention in the video, but...

    Magic Mirrors for an ST?

    Short latest story... I removed the right-side mirror to check and see if that was intact...it was, so I reinstalled it. I put the left side back together, even though the top bracket was cracked, and after a test ride, it appears to be holding solidly, for now :pray: I'll keep a close eye on...
