• 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.

    Too hot to ryde!

    It's been in the high 90's/low 100's here all week. I could really use some wind therapy, thinking about an evening ride when it's a refreshing 80 or so!

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Reworked the flasher that came with the Lamonster Tail Brightener Kit and cleaned up the installation - now I gots flashy brake lights! :)

    Has anyone found & installed Brighter rear-facing lights on their F3L?

    And finally... if you buy the Lamonster Tail Brightener and the flasher module doesn't work, that can be fixed. I noted that the outgoing negative (black wire) from the flasher module had been cut flush with the grommet. Pulling up the wiring diagram on the 'Net, every diagram and video...

    Has anyone found & installed Brighter rear-facing lights on their F3L?

    GR, here's a quick rundown of Lamonster's Tail Brightener Kit installed in my 2017 F3T with factory top box. What's in the package: The instructions: The tail light you'll be removing, looking down from the top with the top box lid open: Retention pins removed and light flipped over...

    Has anyone found & installed Brighter rear-facing lights on their F3L?

    Just looked at my top case, I think that's a darn good idea. Got a photo? I'd appreciate seeing how/where you routed the electrical for the upper strips.

    Has anyone found & installed Brighter rear-facing lights on their F3L?

    I've just ordered the Tail Brighter Kit from Lamonster. It connects by removing two push pins at the top case latch and pulling the plate there. That gives access to the top case tail light wiring. I believe that Lamont includes Lever Locks with the kit; they make the wiring connections...

    GO or get run over.

    Yup, this right here. It's kept me alive in commute traffic in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles as well as right here in the wilds of Northern Nevada. Seems to me the "crazy quotient" just keeps going up.

    I took a Demo ride on a Harley trike - much prefer my RT!

    I took my wife to the local HD dealer's Demo Days and rode a Tri-Glide just to see how much had changed since 2010, the last time I tried one (and passed on it). For what it's worth, my solo ride is a 2022 Street Glide. I thought it was a big improvement over the first models although the...

    Do Passenger armrests lock in place for ryding?

    sparky, if you look under the the front of right armrest, is there a RAM ball on yours? If so, there's endless possibilities for mounting cup holders... or anything else your passenger would like! Mine came with it but I'm not sure that they all do.

    Guess what everyone? I have a new 2023 F3 LTD - Mineral Blue.

    Congratulations, Deanna! You'll like the F3 LTD, especially if you like curves. By now you've probably noticed the F3's handling compared to the RT.

    All you Dragon Riders watch out for this stuff

    And tiny brains. Do this on a track, you're a hero. Do this on a public road, you're a zero.

    Has anyone installed modulator head lights?

    I've had modulators on a GL1500, a GL1800 and an Electra Glide. I've had a couple of encounters with angry drivers who stopped being angry when informed that the lights were a safety device and being thanked for seeing me. I've had a couple of more drivers think I was on a police motor and in...

    Great ride ended with hail, blown tire, and ...

    Glad to hear that you're OK... as has already been pointed out, machinery can be replaced but you can't! Hope the Miata works out, it's probably as close to a Spyder as you could get on 4 wheels.

    How do you guys with multiple bikes handle Riding other bikes?

    I switch back and forth between my F3T and Street Glide without noticing much more than how much vibration I feel in the F3 handlebars (dang OEM tires... that's the last set I put on!).

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed Lamonster's Bright Ryder LED light under the frunk lid. Found a way to route the wiring that didn't involve drilling... I'm stubborn that way. Can't "test ride" as it looks like the Carson Valley is about to get its promised thunderstorms and lightning makes me tend to :yikes: ! We...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took it back to the dealer to have them replace a newly-installed front tire that was out of round and causing vibration in the front end (thanks, Kenda!). This is the first set of replacement tires I've put on the F3 and it'll be the last Kendas it'll wear as long as I own it. Would have gone...

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    After getting new - and very unbalanced - front tires, I'm considering "Shivering Billy" rather than the generic and unprintable name I use for all machinery... :mad:

    Spyder is out of Hibernation

    Got mine off life support (Battery Tender) last weekend and rode for the first time since having a hip replaced. Good to get out of the house and enjoy some delayed spring weather here in Northern NV!
