• 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.

    orange peel paint

    Well folks. We all know there are trolls lurking on the forums. We all know the fit and finish on our Spyders is at least very good. We have some person that comes on here, says he is a Harley person, and critiques the Spyder, and doesn't even know what "orange peel" is. Hmm, I think it just a...

    Charity Ride to Pocono Race Way Aug. 31st

    We would have loved to make this ride. It would be easy if we still lived in Bethlehem, but our work schedules made it impossible this year. Next year will be a different situation.

    2014 RTS windshield

    I cut mine down 2" using a power jig saw. I started with a Dremel, but it melted the plastic and glued the slot back together. I put wide masking tape on both sides of the windshield and drew the cut line on the masking tape. I also installed a Gold Wing vent in it at the same time. The jigsaw...

    Spyders in GA

    Interesting to note The wife and I went on a short 100 mile ride this morning. Just within 5 miles of our home we crossed paths with 4 Spyders. They were not together, but within a few miles of each other. Another interesting thing happened, we rode to the Honda Dealership in Winston-Salem, NC...

    Old sway bars

    I put mine in a large plastic tub labeled "Spyder Takeoffs", I don't think the old sway bar is worth much of anything, but it could be used as fabrication stock for future projects. My Spyder tub sits on a shelf along with several other "takeoff tubs" from Triumph, Harley, Austin Healey, etc. I...

    Tire Pressure?

    I run 19 in the fronts and 28 in the back. I have a Ron sway bar and links and the shocks adjusted to the stiffest position. My Spyder handles great.

    Lost inside wheel cap cover

    Ted, (ULflyer) called me this morning and said he was at the Winston-Salem BRP dealership and inquired about new caps. They didn't have any in stock and he asked if I wanted him to order a set for me. They are $5 and change plus tax. I said yes. That's how Spyder Lovers look out for each other...

    Lost inside wheel cap cover

    Well, you all have aroused my curiosity, so I went out to the garage and looked for mine, nothing there, just nuts and cotter pins. I had no idea they were even there. They are gone now.

    How many of Spyder Riders still ride motorcycles?

    I am 64 years old and I am also 5'3". I bought an 09 Triumph Bonneville new and had to do some modifications to the suspension and seat so I could hold it up flat footed. Forward controls are out of the question for me. I love the the Triumph and only ride it 1 up. I love the Spyder too but...

    Laser Align

    I didn't notice and difference after the laser alignment. I got my alignment done at Honda of Winston Salem. The tech found one wheel 1/8 inch toe out. The tech said it was the second best one he'd seen. When I got my alignment done, the tech said he had done about 25 laser alignments. The best...

    question on hot tubs

    The wife and I had a 500 Gallon tub for several years. Great therapy from my stressful job. Had it for about 10 years when things started going kaput. The motor for the pump was over $500.00. Ours was installed in a gazebo with sliding plexiglass windows. We don't get much snow here in N.C. but...

    Why I avoid Myrtle Beach bike events

    Don't be quick to judge Myrtle Beach by this one unfortunate situation. They have very low homicide rate. I live near Charlotte and it is common to hear about this type of "unfortunate situation" on a much more frequent basis.

    Chanute AFB

    Sad, I did my service in Naval Aviation, but I can still relate, especially as I saw the Forrestal and now the Saratoga going to the scrapper.

    Need Advice!

    Compared to what I've seen here, you were offered a pretty fair trade in value. A friend if mine has a 2012 Limited with a bunch of accessories, and similar mileage to yours, and was offered $17,500 for a trade on a 2014 Limited.
