• 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.

    Question to former Harley Riders/back issues. Need advise on how it spyder vs Harley

    If'n the Triglide wasn't worth so much more than the Spyder RT-S I'd offer to let you test ride and swap but there is ~10k book value difference between a 2014 RT-S and a 2015 TriGlide. Mine does have the corbin leather dual heated seat and extended warranty but the seats are under 1k new and...

    Question to former Harley Riders/back issues. Need advise on how it spyder vs Harley

    tons of replies....mine is the same...I had an ultra classic, loved it. lower back couldn't handle the seating position and at 55k miles sold it, went to kawi concours which put my legs under me and leaned slightly forward. The spyder was a bit of a problem for my back (still is), and my...

    Turning the Nanny off?

    This is fun. I have a non-abs sport bike and it's fun to get that challenge when the rear end starts to slip in a hard corner and you have to control it and suck the seat up your bung..... But I wouldn't ride a spyder without nanny. It's a drive by wire machine, it's heavy, and it goes...

    Calling all 2014-2015 RT owners with "Belt Vibration"

    Mine's a '14 SM6, no vibration. A lot of my commute is Interstate with 70 posted and you get run over if you're doing that. Any correlation between SE vice SM on the vibration?

    Helmet pro's and con's

    Tough thread, we all have opinions. The scorpion exo 900 is imho 'junk'. Had one a few months and in the closed position it fell off the bike at a gas stop and landed on the chin. Broke the whole chin piece right off including the mounting assembly. I thought 'well, there goes my face'...

    Saving up, leaving the Guzzi. Pending newbie.

    Leaning that way Bob. Only costs insurance and taxes, neither of which is that much. Just feel a bit guilty leaving it sit. I'll probably change my mind come fall when the unfaired two wheelers leave my teeth chattering.

    Saving up, leaving the Guzzi. Pending newbie.

    I keep leaning toward selling my '14 RT-S SM6. Don't use it anymore, wasn't ready to give up two wheels so I ride a two wheeler every day. Just picked up another two wheeler this week. Managed to put 3k miles on the RT-S since new in September. Or maybe just keep it on the battery tender...

    Wiring for Corbin Heated seat?

    On my 2014 I wired the corbin to the accessory plug in the trunk. Call me low rent but I put a 'cigarette' lighter end on the corbin wiring, ran it under the rear backrest, and plug it in to the accessory plug. Makes it double fused and turns off with key. I have run both driver and...

    What do you wear on your Spyder? In HOT weather?

    Almost as good as an octane or oil thread!! Summer..mesh jacket and gloves....and mesh overpants on top of the jeans. Jeans last for zip point zero on a slide, and have no padding for impact. In my deer encounter I experienced most of the bad things, hit the deer, slid the pavement, and was...

    Oil changes.

    Haven't reached it either. I'm having mine done again at the 9300 service which will be a little over 6k on the current oil and filter. I'll likely go to 5k changes from there.

    regular or premium?

    89 No eth in all my toys. Ethanol is the devil :) Our price difference to go 91 no eth isnt worth it. 89 no eth is currently 2.96, 91 is 4.25.

    Baker built belt tensioner

    I don't have any vibrations so haven't looked into one. I had a smooth spyder on my 2012, but the 2014 has not shown a need for it. Is everything setup right? Tension/alignment and rear tire balance?

    what should I pay?

    Wow....I was going to mention I'm looking at getting out of Spyders but I think as cheap as they are selling for I'll keep my 2014 RT-S SM6. :). Corbin dual heat seat, GPS, 3200 miles. I'd have to get 23k not to be bleeding money. I think someone could buy a brand new 2014 cognac and add...

    DEER WHISTLES

    I love our threads, really :). Me and a Connie 14 met a deer at high speed 2.5 years ago and I'm permanently a different person for the experience. The titainium plates and screws, the aches, it's all good fun and worth the stories of flipping over and over (which I don't remember any of)...

    My non-spyder...the GT750 Waterbuffalo project bike is on the road

    1st year only.....'72 had the 4ls front brake. That was my first 'big' bike back in the day. I loved it. Got the urge to reclaim the toys of my youth a while back and bought several basket case GT750s. This is the first, and maybe the only one, to make it back on the street. I 'may'...

    Any tips for taming the 'Dragon'?

    Weekday, end of season is real good (I like it in October personally). Stay a few days and hit Cherahola Skyway, pop through Maggie Valley and down to the Casino, lots to do. My last ride on it was an FJR and I did it once 2up with the wife and then went back and soloed for a sportier...

    NANNY EXPERIENCES

    I say hi to Nanny most every ride. Interstate on/off ramps. I lean out and over and push the corners as hard as I can. Nanny will back off the throttle a bit but I really do force it....my motto is push the corner till Nanny screams.
