• 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.

    What's supposed to be in the stock 2015 RTL Tool Kit?

    Bought my 2015 RTL used. I think I'm missing some tools from the stock kit. What is supposed to be in the stock tool kit? A list, if you don't mind. Also ... what should I add? I'm a biker from the early 70's so I know what a traditional 2-wheeler "should" have on board. Just wondering if...

    2015 RTL standard driver backrest & passenger armrest suggestions please

    Some of you may know that my wife, Deb, and I had to make a decision about our riding future due to her stroke this past Feb. She has progressed well and is determined to ride again, however, we both feel it was time to move to the Spyder community. We are selling our 2010 Voyager but found a...

    Anyone tried Hankook VENTUS V4 ES H105 - SIZE: 175/55R15

    :agree: OK, I'll agree that you "should" lift the Spyder from the center frame when possible. I have learned something else about my Spyder now. The TechSpark Service manual shows the Spyder supported by the lower A-arm with an automotive jack stand. Also, when I took my Spyder to Honda...

    What Jacket are you wearing?

    I wear a Firstgear Adventure Mesh Jacket in day-glow which I got through Cycle Gear in Greensboro, NC. I think it ran about $275. They had to order it and had it sent to the house. Told me if it didn't fit right, I could bring it back and they would order a different size. It is longer than...

    New CB installed - transmit is very weak

    So, are you saying the transmit is weak or the received signal is weak? Noise canceling helmet mics are very fussy. You have to just about put the thing in your mouth. Try moving the mic closer. Should be touching your lips when you speak. Check your antenna connections and your SWR. The...

    RT front tire balancing

    I had pulled the tire/wheels off my Spyder and took them to Discount Tire in Burlington, NC where I was having my truck tires balanced and rotated. I bought the two Hankook tires there and they could not mount or balance them because they said they didn't have the small cone needed for the...

    JUST PULLED THE TRIGGER ! 2015 RT Limited with 2,550 miles ... Ima newbie

    Update ... OK, as promised. Installed the Spyderpops bumpskid plate and the Stibel air horn. When mounting the bumpskid plate, you are cautioned not to drill holes #5 & 6 too deep as there are radiator hoses above the drill site. I used a deep-well socket over my drill bit to limit the...

    I like the Rivco dual flag mount for the RT trunk for $87, however, I need something that folds or has a quick disconnect so I can put my bikini cover on when it rains.

    A vastly improved way to lift the Spyder ….

    OK ... yeah I know ... But hey, a buck is a buck. I have the cheaper one and used it to lift my 2010 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager at +900lbs Same bike but in "Velocity Yellow" (A GM color like Corvette or Camaro) looks much better. She's for sale now that Deb can't ride with me anymore. $79.99...

    Seeking advice for entering the 3 wheel world

    Deb, my best half, had a major stroke 11 Feb 2019 and can no longer safely be a passenger on our 2010 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager. She can no longer drive and had to medically retire from her job. It was either give up riding completely OR sell her car and the Voyager and get a Spyder. We have...

    Guardian Bell Transfer

    According to the tradition and rule #3, I should transfer my bell to the Spyder. However, rule #2 states that the bell should be hung by the person that gave me the bell. Also ... you are not supposed to touch your bell unless it is attached to your trike/bike. Not sure if my buddy will want to...

    Anyone tried Hankook VENTUS V4 ES H105 - SIZE: 175/55R15

    Yeah guys and gals, thanks! Being that the trike had only 2,500 miles on it when I bought it, I find it hard to believe there is anything wrong with it mechanically, So, my main suspect is the tires. I know that anything is possible with a used vehicle, BUT, come on! I'm the 3rd owner of a...

    Anyone tried Hankook VENTUS V4 ES H105 - SIZE: 175/55R15

    What did you put on the rear? I'm looking at a Kumho ESTCA 771 in 215/55R15 or possibly a Firestone Champion HR in 205/50R15.

    Anyone tried Hankook VENTUS V4 ES H105 - SIZE: 175/55R15

    I am new to the Spyder community having purchased my 2015 RT Limited just 3 weeks ago. Finally got about 800 miles on the new to me Spyder now and I am beginning to see that some get OK/good stock Kenda tires and some do not. Apparently I did not. I am getting a 60mph wobble in the...

    2019 RT-L with Garmin 590 Nav. No nav audio through speakers.

    Yep. Found that works, but, didn't seem so when it first blasted me. I think what I had found, in my previous reply, was a way to "limit" the volume from the Zumo. So, If I turn the volume on my Sena to full volume when the Zumo speaks, I can then go into the Zumo "Navigation" volume setting...
