• 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.

    Folding Chairs that fit in frunk?

    Thanks Wil. $220.00 for a folding Chair? Does it have Harley Davidson on it? (Yes, I'm Joking and I do OWN Numerous Harleys.) I don't have a Wife but I think $21.00 is closer to what the "standard" design Chairs are worth. We Shall See. The good thing is, they'll fit in the Waverunner...

    Mean people suck

    Yea, the "That's Not A Hah'ley" has stuck in my mind. I've considered putting a small sticker on my Spyder "My Other Bike is a Panhead". I've read a lot here and I get the idea that a lot of Spyder folks really don't have much motorcycle experience (maybe 30%)? I've owned and ridden...

    Stripped out handlebar bolt :(

    Hang on a minute! The Original Bolt is Stainless Steel. You Can Not MIG a SS Bolt. Secondly, the Mig is going to Pop Slag everywhere and damage stuff. A TIG welder for Stainless Steel will Work "IF" you decide to Weld It.

    Stripped out handlebar bolt :(

    I just pulled one of my Bolts out to mount a magnetic phone mount. As you know at this point, it's a 7mm allen. Like you said, I'd Drill the Head off the Stripped one (and remove the other 3). Pull the bars up and you have plenty of room to get a set of Vice Grips on the bolt or try...

    Tire balancing

    I have Stayed at the Holiday In Express and was part owner in a Tire shop in the 1970's and early 1980's. I bought my Spyder 2 weeks ago with 2,500 miles on the clock. Last week I went alllll over it and Cleaned it Top to Bottom. (Removed the front wheels and cleaned the backsides.) The...

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    Naturally with my sense of Humor I've been Banned from a Few Forums. One of the Harley Chrome Spark Plug Forums banned me for life because of my User Name... And Hell, I never posted anything. And the User Name Was, "SNOTROCKET". I thought it was Funny! Then I got banned over the word...

    OK... I'm In. 2016 RTS SE6 w/2,500 miles

    No big concern on buying a Spyder Blindly. I've bought cars all over the East Coast and Never driven them. (Last was a C7 Corvette in Florida.) Mail the Check/Transfer the $$$$$, Fly and Drive it home. Spyder wise, if I got it and didn't like it. SELL IT. I could have rode it before I...

    1. Why not just use your Phone GPS? 2. The GPS Store is 20 minutes from me. I ride the Coast a lot and pass it quiet frequently. 3. I have a magnetic phone mount right in the center of the bar bolts.

    2016 RTS 350 miles report

    NICE! I'm going to guess Marc is here? With having access to a Lathe all I need is a piece of Aluminum Stock. I might play with a AutoCad drawing and put the bearings in the balancer hub (and remove the inside grease seal). Or if Marc's Balancer is not over priced buy his. What Tires Are...

    2016 RTS 350 miles report

    Excellent Info! I hate it that I'm so Mechanical sometimes. I see the Belt Vibration issue is "WTH"? My Belt drive Harleys never have done the harmonic vibration but... The Belt Tension seems to be Considerably Less. Adding the idler on the tension side of the belt is wrong in my opinion...

    Installation of car tire.

    Thank You. Probably the trick is KEEP THE ORIGINAL STEERING POSITION. My Son's VW Jetta sensors the Steering Wheel. If the wheel is Not in the same position it will throw an Error. It's a trick to set the wheel back straight. So far I haven't seen the Toe-in spec on the Spyder. Mine feels...

    Tire balancing

    I bought a bunch of Balance Beads several years ago. I "Tried" removing the Schrader Valve and pouring them in (like the Seller said) and realized, "THIS AIN'T HAPPENING". I guess the Easy Correct way is breaking the tire loose from the rim and pouring them in? How much did you put in your...

    2016 RTS 350 miles report

    I've spend numerous hours here reading Before and After I picked up my Spyder on Saturday. In two days we rode close to 350 miles, the Spyder had 2,519 miles when I picked it up. 1. The OEM Front Tires Are Crap. Mine shake at different Speeds. I jacked it up today and checked and cleaned...

    Installation of car tire.

    I've worked in the Tire Industry for 5 years (way back). With an Mechanical Engineering Background I've done almost everything possible. The facts are all tires have Ratings. In the case of the Spyders as long as the Rim beads match, the weight on the tires are basically nothing compared...

    I've already read the Do's and Do Not's and read through the Owners Manual. After watching a couple of video test rides I'm a little Freaked about riding it home. I'll only have a mile before I hit the By-Pass around Myrtle Beach and then 20ish miles on H-31. I'd like to play in a parking...
