• 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.

    Just out of curiosity how many people have hot foot problem

    I know you people that have a hot Spyder hate to hear about us that ride in shorts and tennis shoes and have no problems. Its been in the upper 90's here all summer and no problems for us, no mods to the air flow. Now that the cooler weather is here my wife says she wish it would throw a...

    New RT floorboards.

    I wouldn't count on it. They don't put the right hand brake on their off road quads either and for that reason would not own one, just unsafe not to have it. :shocked:

    New RT floorboards.

    Sounds like a good safety feature but IMO if they are so concerned with safety they should add the right hand brake like all other bikes have. In a panic situation I can usually get on the hand brake before finding the foot brake.

    Bummer, I could use the rear cargo top but my sides are all used up with fuel storage and helmets, no room left.

    My Best Buddy Cargo Trailer XL

    It looks very similar to the Harbour Freight trailer, maybe a better suspension. The HF @ $300 is hard to beat, I removed one leaf from both sides when I built it and that with low air pressure it rides quit smooth. I have taken it on many small trips and can't tell its back there. Its lots...

    Trailer wireing

    I just built a trailer and wired my Spyder without the BRP Harnessa month ago. To save yourself agrevation use a 5 wire harness (availble at Walmart and all auto parts stores) sometimes in the boating section. Keep all the lights seperateon the trailer, turn, brake, running. Don't bother with...

    headlight modulators

    Using a modulator with HID's I'm pretty sure will not work, they need a constant voltage to keep them lit. Also my take on fog lights is they are designed to light up the area low and right in front of the vehicle so cannot be seen at any distance, hence not worth lighting them up during the...

    headlight modulators

    I would think you will need a modulator for each headlight. However there is really no need to modulate both headlamps, one will do the job of getting you noticed just fine. I was waiting for a Spyder specific modulator to appear on the market that was proven to work with the can bus system...

    headlight modulators

    Just a follow up that modulators are legal by Federal law and Canada has a similar law. ------------------------------------------- This Federal law supersedes all state laws and makes motorcycle headlight modulators legal in all 50 states. FMVSS 108 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards)...

    headlight modulators

    To me its like a strobe effect for the headlights. Usually much faster that the alternating headlights you see on an emergency vehicle. Unlike using your high beams during the day which is much more irritating and blinding to other drivers, the strobe effect does not blind but is very...

    headlight modulators

    Completely legal here in Nevada, but not at night. Are they irritating as hell? maybe but then they are doing what there suppose to do, getting you noticed by cagers. It use to be only bikers had there headlights on during the day to be noticed, now most vehicles have daytime running lights...

    headlight modulators

    Hahaha, I have noticed that, lots of old timers here set in there ways. My two cents, let me know what you find because I had them on my other bikes and would like them on my Spyder also. You will be able to see the difference right away after installing these as people will actually sit and...

    Reno Street Vibrations

    Wooo..Hooo.. Reno Street Vibrations 2012 started Thursday with an estimated 30-40 thousand bikers in town this weekend. So far I saw three Spyder RT's, the most I have seen at one time in Northern Nevada. :2thumbs:

    4th vs. 5th gear discussion

    This is exactly how I shift my Spyder. I would rather listen to the higher revs than to feel the vibration or the lugging feel if that's what it is. I have been keeping track of gas mileage since I got the Spyder and found I get about 1 to 2 mpg better mileage running at the higher revs.

    Radio Keeps Re-setting

    I used to have my radio reset quit often. But what I have noticed. If the key is turned on without engine running pushing or holding the down arrow several times will cause a radio reset. I do not know the exact key combination or pushes but I don't try to mute the radio anymore or change the...

    QUESTION ABOUT SIGNAL LIGHT INDICATOR ???????

    I went for the LED arrows on mine mainly because the wiring was allready in the mirrors. However what I used on most of my other bikes was a little piezo buzzer with two diodes from Radio Shack mounted somewhere in the cluster that would beep when the turn signals were on. With the use of the...

    Add one more

    Front shocks set to 5, stiffest position, front tires 25 lbs., will cure most of it. Elkas in front will cure it all. Have fun, once you get use to it its like driving a sports car.
