• 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.

    Can Am Reducing MSRP Across The Board

    Used prices I just did a review of used prices in Cycle Trader. This does not seem to have affected prices.

    Looking for confidence in the curves...

    Random thoughts 1. All the previous advice is good advice. 2. I also had a major problem with right curves, and was not comfortable even after 4500 miles. I got a laser alignment and it was a huge help. The alignment also cured a major problem I had with "bump steer" where one wheel hits a...

    How good and comfortable are Ultimate Seats ?

    AS somebody mentioned earlier they offer a trial period. I bought a Russell since I could visit the shop and have it made there, but they have no return policy, just an adjustment policy. Though the adjustment is free with postage that could get expensive (though they got it right immediately...

    How dangerous is road debris?

    You convinced me While I normally agree with everything like looking far ahead and knowing your escape routes, I get very panicky riding in Portland Oregon since that is often impossible for me. I was thinking about riding my Spyder up through POrtland and Seattle to look at Lees-ure Lites...

    How dangerous is road debris?

    How dangerous is road debris.? After many years of uneventful motorcycle rising, I made two major swerves on my Spyder on the same day. The first was for three chunks of semi tires in the road and the second was for a 8 foot long 4x4 perpendicular to the road. I had plenty of reaction time...

    Need advice please

    Will dogbone risers work with and F3-T with a LaMonster telephone holder? I hate to sound dense, but I am not getting it. I have four screws holding my handlebars in place, and only see two screws on every riser I see. Thanks.

    Luggage rack and way to relocate antenna on a F3T

    I went to move my antenna but wound up clipping the top of the existing one. I wanted to really pile on the gear, and a full sized tent eliminated any possibility of an antenna sticking out. I think it had a little effect, but not enough to spend the money on a shorter copper core antenna...

    Handlebar and fender

    Lights are not an option. Long story but my wife is willing to pay for paint with the household budget, but not lights. I do not have the expertise to do anything electrical on my Spyder. And I am not willing to spend my own money I have set aside for trips with my Spyder. btw - I want my...

    Handlebar and fender

    I want to: 1. Adjust my handlebars upward. 2. Remove and reinstall my front fenders. A few questions. 1. I have found the torque sequence for the handlebars, but not amount of torque I should use on those or the fenders. Can anybody tell me what those are? 2. Should I use Loctite when I...

    New purchase input

    I have to agree. I put a luggage rack on my F3-T and purchased another drybag, and as a result can carry a lot. I do not think luggage should be a consideration.

    Going Blind....not really

    While I have progressive glasses and sunglasses, depending on riding position bifocals may be fine. On my bicycles and previous motorcycle my head is tilted down. For this reason I would look through the upper portion of the lens, and as a result the "line" did not bother me as it does...

    RAM mount suggestions for a new F3-T owner

    I bought the base clamp with the four screws and an X grip from www.lamonstergarage.com. I thought it was perfect due to the way I can place my cell phone so that it does not block anything visually. However he has since come out with a power plate which looks like a cleaner, but also more...

    Question Concerning Baja Ron's Sway Bar

    Non ethanol in the spyder?

    I have met a lot of people who have no interest in saving the planet. I also understand the "feeling good" stuff. I switched careers but for a while I was forester. As somebody who had a 4 year degree in land management and spent 95% of his time on the job in the woods for ten years, I...

    Non ethanol in the spyder?

    I am not so sure about that. My gut says if you took away all the subsidies for corn I suspect ETBE would be a better way to increase octane. I am not a chemist, but I am guessing that is how they create the premium without alcohol, which I am convinced is a superior gasoline.

    Non ethanol in the spyder?

    As a firm believer in significant made caused climate change, driver of a hybrid, owner of solar panels and a super energy efficient house, I am probably much more of an environmentally concerned member than many in this forum. I think this ethanol stuff was a mistake. btw - I kept records on...
