• 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.

    Honda Trike

    She should be fine I rode a Honda trike for 8 years before the Spyder. It's only seriously different if you're out pushing over 80% for instance. The trike won't steer as quickly as the Spyder but won't do anything that will surprise her. There's a shop in Denver that rents Spyders if you're...

    Cable hand brake

    It was on page 2 on one of Lamont's postings http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5048&page=2 Look about halfway down. I think it looks like a great design and very simple.

    eliminated brake squeal, I think

    My dealer just ordered 3rd gen pads for me. Pad are under wty but labor is not. Hope the new pads will somehow also raise the contact point when I hit the pedal too. Not sure how that would happen with disc brakes but I'd sure like a shorter pedal action.

    Search command quirk

    Thanks. I tried single quotes and that didn't work. Doubles seem to make a difference. I searched on "hide a key" found what I was looking for. It's in a posting by Vtrider. Now I can go shopping.

    Search command quirk

    I was searching for forum to find some recent postings about ways to hide a spare key on the Spyder. It turns out that the work 'key' is too common or too short to be included in the search algorithm so it only searches based on the other words you use like 'hidden' or 'spare' etc. How about...

    Cable hand brake

    I completely agree that the factory should have put a hand brake on the Spyder. I recently installed the ISCI unit and while it is well made, I do have a few issues with it. The lever is a long reach from the hand grip and I have pretty long fingers. I removed the grip puppies from the...

    update: tiltingmotorworks.com

    It's got my attention This has the same design features as the Piaggio MP3 which is totally slick in my eyes. I didn't buy that one because of the step thru scooter design. Imagine carving a curve and not having you butt trying to fly off the seat. That appeals to me. I'll be watching...

    Looking for a loud pipe - any ideas?

    This summer I took the Hindle off and re-installed the stock muffler. My social conscience got to me. The Spyder runs much more civilly with the stock. It may have lost a little performance but it still has more than the operator can handle. ;) The back firing has gone away and I think I get...

    Garage door opener

    :agree: I bought an extra universal xmitter and it lives in the pocket of my riding jacket. I just reach down and squeeze it right thru the jacket and gloves. Never overlook the simplest answer. ;)

    Looking for Trailering Cover

    :agree: Keep it uncovered while traveling. The only durable cover that will work is an enclosed trailer.

    Stock to Comfort to Russell

    I, for one, am waiting to hear about your 1st ride. I'm on the verge of ordering one for myself to upgrade from the Comfort seat just like you. On my previous GW trike I had a Diamond seat and it was great! The Day Long looks a lot like that. :popcorn:

    Colorado Dealers?

    Colorado Dealers RPM is your only option without going to Grand Junction as far as I know. I had my 3K service done there and they seem pretty good. I picked their brains on every issue that I knew about and they seemed to know about them all. I've also bought a few parts there. I bought...

    Extra Keys

    I think it's probably a dealer only item. It will also need to be programmed and you need to have all your keys at hand for the reprogramming because they will all be given the new coding. A bit of a hassle. When I bought my extra key, the dealer sold me the blank but could not cut it. I...

    3K Check Up

    I paid in the high 200's in Denver too. These toys are not cheap. I'll probably do most of my own maintenance from now on.

    Brake squeal gone!

    My dealer told me about the BG stuff too. It sounds wrong to spray anything onto the pad surface itself but apparently it does work for lots of people. I did a Google search and found it had been used on cars, trucks, etc. I may try it myself even if it seems a bit scary. :gaah:

    Owner id not valid

    I had problems registering too. I ended up in a routine where it assigned me a new ID now I figure that the card is useless. I may take it along to the dealer some day and see if it has any meaning to them. Dealers seem to work using name and VIN to get all the info they need. Right now I...

    FUNNY STORY!

    I get lots of comments and almost all are positive. My riding buddy has a new CBR1000 and notes that I attract much more attention than he does. The spyder is unique and the average person looks at his bike and only sees a red motorcycle. Another friend who thinks the spyder is great said he...

    Why don't my Spyder beep

    The beeper does time out after 10-20 seconds so you can set the parking brake and then release it after the time lapses. I park mine in N against a block in the corner of my garage all the time without beeps.

    oil change each 3000 mls or 6000 mls

    I've been skeptical about oil change intervals for a long time. Our son lives in Wales and the standard in Europe has been 10K miles for over 15 years, even for his diesel Audi. New cars I'm told have an interval in the 15 and higher range. Surely, their oils are not that much better than...
