• 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.

    Ticking sound in the front right wheel

    I have been away at a job site and havent had time to look into it yet. I will check all of those ideas and get back to this post when I get time. I find it odd that others are having the same issue with only the r side. Thanks to all for your help!! Jim

    Ticking sound in the front right wheel

    I've had a ticking sound in the right front that seems to be brake related. It seems to tick from 3 to 12 mph then quits when I get up to a faster speed. Then it quits when I hit the brake. I do have glow riders on it but I don't think thats it. I will dig into it later this week when I have...

    Transformers-"Revenge of the Fallen"

    I just got back from T 2 myself. I thought the movie was pretty good. Audience actually clapped at the end. Got a lot of looks leaving the theater on my spyder. Although we didn't see a spyder as often as I hoped, I thought it was a good mix of action, suspense, clever comedy and of course...

    4" Riser Install on Video

    I agree. I'm 6'8" and the 4" rise makes a world of difference. You need to order mirror extensions at the same time or your hands will be right in the way of your view.

    Should I Buy a Spyder

    I think she will love it. I can't remember a post saying "I hate this thing - somebody take it off my hands". Be ready to spend a couple grand on mods. Almost everybody eventually adds risers, foot pegs, windshield, mirror extensions, and then bags. Maybe some lights too. After (and before)...

    Has the lack of mainstream advertising hurt Spyder sales?

    I just saw a billboard from my dealer yesterday. First one i've seen. It was in Champaign, IL. A combo Spyder / sea-doo wet bike ad. It is 40 miles away from Hoopeston IL, but probably his closest large market. Hope sales go good for them. Good dealer!:yes:
