• 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.

    luggage rack and trailer hitch for RT

    I have a tray I got from Kuryakyn that the mount goes under the trailer ball and the tray slides in and locks in with 2 pins... Was trying to use it to haul a cooler... but that aftermarket swing arm hitch bounces that tray SO BAD when the rear tire hits a bump, that I decided to quit using it...

    Ridiculous cost for a Spyder tag in Alabama

    Your neighbor to the west!!! Glad this topic came up! When I went to tag our Spyder they entered the VIN into the state database and It was rejected as a non valid VIN....Came back saying it was a ATV.....Since they had to OVERRIDE the state database they needed proof of value to properly tax...

    radio antenna

    Atmospheric conditions? That's what the dealer said! If it don't do that in any other vehicle I own why does it do it with the Spyder? (That was also my response to the dealer.)

    Hydroplaining - Is it an issue?

    The rear is the culprit for me... I have hydroplaned probably 25 times in 16,000+ miles....The factory rear, The Kumho Ecsta, and now the RT-43 also.... I have never had the front go sideways..But that rear will turn loose and float out to the side easy....I also believe it is a combination of...

    Rear Tire - What is the Best Option

    Got about 6000 out of factory Kenda, slick in middle, switched to Kuhmo Ecsta and had some tread left at 10,000 miles but it would hydroplane at 30 mph in certain conditions, just switched to General Altimax RT-43..... It is taller and I like the slight change in gearing and the smoother/quieter...

    Gas Octane YOU USE

    Run the best I can find. I do it for performance and gas mileage but most importantly to keep from fouling up the fuel system with sub par Govt cheese! I always use the highest octane available and non ethenol when within driving distance of a place that sells it.......

    Squealing noises

    Loud squealing? Those noises can come from elsewhere.....Listen closely next time, if it was not followed by the faint sound of swear words or what seems like female laughter or what appears to be loud thuds coming from the back of your helmet...It might be a problem with the machine... ;-)

    What is your highway "sweet spot" speed

    Woman screaming huh? I get that same irritating sound on dirt roads when I give it the gas and start fishtailing and playing around a bit...It it usually followed by a series of solid thunks I can hear and feel on what seems to be the upper backside of my helmet...The dealer can't seem to find...

    How many miles on rear tire

    I must be ultra aggressive?? I got about 6000 miles out of the original Kenda rear, switched to Kuhmo Ecsta car tire expecting much longer mileage....I have about 9000 on it and it is about 3/4 worn down and gets zero traction in the rain now, will likely be Slick in 11,000 miles...I guess I...

    What is your highway "sweet spot" speed

    The faster the Sweeter.. Between 82 and 85 is best for me, I get a little belt harmonics (not much) between 75 and 80 but just a tad faster and it smooths out...but I can pretty much run any speed if needed...
