• 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.

    Smoothspyder F3 belt tensioner

    Not on the F3- T or the F3 LTD. Which is what I was referring too. From what I saw on Smoothspyder site there are two different models. On my F3 LTD nothing was cut or removed except for one bolt which was replaced with a longer one. As for Jim not replying back I found him to be very...

    Smoothspyder F3 belt tensioner

    I had the smoothspyder installed when I first purchased it. Over 8k now. I did this because of the stories I read on here and the first time I drove down the highway at 60 to 70 the vibration was very bad. The Smoothspyder eliminated this completely. The bike shifts smooth as silk and I go down...

    YOUR WINDSHIELD CHOICE ON F3? Gustaffson, Madstad, Rifle, California Scientific, F4

    I have to go with a F4 Custom Windscreen. I installed the 23 inch tinted and am loving it. I use a 1/2 helmet with a shield usually. I took for a test drive and when I got home 30 minutes later I realized I never but the face shield down. I look through the screen and it is perfect. I removed...

    BRP belt tensioner

    I have seen no reduction in anything with the Smoothspyder installed. It is on the TOP of the belt same as the one BRP sells. SMOOTHSPYDER is built much better and will last for years. Try it you will love it. IMHO. Regards

    Good tools for use on Spyder

    What brand tools are used for the Spyders? I bought a set of torques from HD and are either too small or too big for any of the bolts. Was trying to reposition my foot rest. Stop at the local auto parts store and bought a set there and they are just as bad. I would prefer not strip any of the...

    price?

    When I bought mine last year at this time I shopped around and found that pretty much all the dealers had the same price. Like someone suggested look online and price it out. The options are what gets you. I went in for the F3 T and came out with the F3 LTD because of the options I started to...
