• 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.

    F3-T with an antenna with an MBL Innovations Luggage Rack

    Their Locktite is why I am paranoid to work on the Spyder. I stripped one bolt that no way should it have stripped.

    F3-T with an antenna with an MBL Innovations Luggage Rack

    Is it as good as stock? Every other antenna I have seen less than six inches warn about a decrease in reception.

    F3-T with an antenna with an MBL Innovations Luggage Rack

    Done. I'll post what they say. Thanks for the push. The last time I tried to contact the website I got an error message, which made me think he quit. I just got a message through to him.

    F3-T with an antenna with an MBL Innovations Luggage Rack

    My understanding is that cutting it only works with the antenna without a spring. Is that true? Thanks.

    F3-T with an antenna with an MBL Innovations Luggage Rack

    Has anybody installed a MBL Innovations luggage rack on a 2016 F3-T with an antenna? I 100% give up on trying to figure out what to do with the antenna with an MBL Innovations luggage rack. Right now I have the antenna sticking up through the luggage rack, which makes the luggage rack fairly...

    Install question...

    But if installation was part of the sales price, why go elsewhere? Long shot but one possibility is that the mechanic needs some help. MY dealer originally would not install my gravel guard. I forgot who I bought the guard from, but to make a long story short the solution was to have the...

    Motion sick from riding a Spyder ??

    I have a problem which I solve on curvy roads by taking off my glasses. I wear progressives, which I think make the problem worse. But I am legal to drive without glasses.

    Interesting Article on Motorcycle Sales in US

    I agree. I am so glad I rented an RV as an experiment. I thought they would be so cool. I was only out the cost of a trailer hitch and brake controller.

    Interesting Article on Motorcycle Sales in US

    I would hope some of it. Since motorcycle sales have been slowly increasing since 2011, and Harley Davidson sales have been going down, other motorcycles have to be taking their place. But I suspect bulk of it is people are buying cheaper Japanese motorcycles.

    Increasing loudness of F3-T

    That is my plan. My salesman is out right now and I only want to do a comparison when it is not raining. With NW Oregon weather it will be a while.

    Interesting Article on Motorcycle Sales in US

    I think the problem is HD. Total sales of all motorcycles has stayed basically flat since 2011. One Triumph dealer where I bought a motorcycle sold his dealership to focus only on repairs since he thought Triumph was nuts to focus on cruisers, but sales took off. I personally would not pay a...

    Hey, I know you....

    Salem Oregon here, in the middle of Oregon wine country. What makes the area surrounding this place possibly the best place in the country for road cycling also makes it good for cruising on motorcycles. Strangely the person I think is the most famous person from Salem never showed up in a...

    Increasing loudness of F3-T

    I went to ride my F3-T Sunday and it got so loud that I quit riding since my ears were ringing even with earplugs. I tape a decibel meter to my bike and just going up and down the street, never exceeding 25 mph, it got up to 102 decibels. I only have 250 miles on it, but a lot of stop and go...

    Why are there still 2016's for sale new?

    I just looked at the website for one dealer and saw they have seven brand new 2016's for sale. My dealer has three and one demo, though they are down from seven when I bought mine in October and the first dealer is asking $2000 more per vehicle. This gets me nervous. Have Spyders simply quit...

    Does it really take 300 miles?

    City driving I only have about 250 miles on mine, but over 100 in town. I test rode an RT and was terrified. Long explanation why but I went back and test drove an F3-T, loved cruising with it, and bought it. I initially began to second guess myself at 200 miles since I found myself getting...

    Neck & Shoulder Pain Resolved

    When you say "short reach," are you saying you used these as an alternative to the handlebars for tall people? I'm waiting until I get a new seat, but I want some radical adjustments on my handlebars. The longer bar for the brakes was a huge help.
