• 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.

    SMOKIES

    I'll be arriving in Gatlingburg tomorrow, Friday. I am scheduled to stay at the Elkmont campground in the GSMNP site K005 [hope I fit!]. Looking forward to seeing and meeting a bunch of Spyders. The attention I've been getting in N. GA reminds me of the first days of ownership. Lots of inquiries...

    which saddel bags

    SHAD BAGS I got a set of SHAD top box and side cases at Daytona. I had to make my own mounting racks, though they should have them by now. They are well made and look good. I've had GIVI's in the past with no complaints, but I think the SHAD's are even better and a fair amount less costly.

    The Shed - April Ryde

    The Shed :2thumbs: I like the Pine Forrest meeting as it is closer to "getting out of town" for the group. The 11th @ 10 AM is good for me. I hope to be there. hollylmh Yellow 444 Milton, FL

    SpyderLovers Meet in Daytona!-Updated

    Sorry you missed us. I counted 28 Spyders and I don't think there was a single "stock one" there! Good to see all the various mods. Plan to check out the floorboards with the lowered controls further. I got new side cases later and hope to get a top box Thursday. Hope you can make the Factory...

    SpyderLovers Meet in Daytona!-Updated

    Get together The last two times I have been down to Daytona getting in or out of DD was such a mess I did not even try. I'll be coming down from Orange Park [I trailer to there] on Saturday the 7th and maybe the week before. It would be neat to see some Spyder types there. hollylmh Yellow...

    My neighbors hate me now...

    Pipes I have installed about 5 different mufflers looking for sound but not LOUD. The GSXR 1000 that I have on now sounds the best AND looks good to me. I found a brand new "take off' in Orange Park, FL. hollylmh Yellow 444 NW FL

    Jacksonville powersports are nothing but CROOKS!

    North Jax Powersports are the ones who had my Spyder for Bike Week, never got it to run, tried to void warranty, and wanted to charge me $175 for not fixing it! Daryl @ Pensacola Motorsports had it running in 5 minutes, no charge! hollylmh Yellow 444 NW FL

    Corbin seat install not so good

    I'm afraid to even ask what Corbin wanted for this seat. How does the weight compare to the stock one?

    Diecast Spyder Model Yet?

    Would be nice to see one at the Die cast outfit in Asheville, NC. I've found a number of interesting things there over the years.

    Tire life after 12,000 miles

    My MP3 rear tire is about gone @ 3K miles, while the Spyder shows very little wear @ about 5K. I don't see why R&R the rear Spyder tire could take 2 hours IF one knew what they were doing and had the equipment. Good luck.

    BRP wiring problems

    I had a wiring problem from day one which the key would not turn the ignition on. After several shop visits [about 2 months worth], swapping control units, ignition, relays, etc -- BRP replaced my entire wiring harness! 6 weeks and 2000 miles later, there has not been any recurrence!! The...

    Idle Speed

    Has anyone looked into reducing the idle speed to about 1/2 of the 1350/1450 RPM? The only reason I can think of for the current setting is EPA -- flow more air helps emissions.

    Hindle Exhaust~~~

    I just put on a stock Hyabussa can which I think looks better, sounds better, and is a good deal lighter than stock. I had a Vance & Hines on for about 15 miles [too loud for me]. I modified the other Hyabussa can [they have 2] until I got it too loud too! Stock sounds just fine after all...

    Has your Spyder ever broke (or nearly) Broke down?

    Check out "ignition problems" for my experience. Thursday, April 10th, was the last time the dealer got it to refuse to "turn on", and I took it to B'Ham and the Barber's AMA races with no problems [thus far]. No one knows WHY it would not "turn on" or why it is now working! I love it when it...

    Problem on 1st Ride!

    Sounds a lot like my first day [and a number more since!], in that my first stop on my first day out, with about a dozen folks gathered round to see it, one asked me to start it up so they could hear it run -- about 15 minutes later, I got it to "turn on" and start up! That was in November. It...

    Enclosed trailer idea?

    I also have a 7x12 V- nose Spyder Web. It has worked very well. I am now trying set it up to carry the Spider [Yellow Peril] along with a Pioggio MP3 so I can have at least one reliable set of wheels with me! hollylmh Yellow [Peril] 444 NW FL

    windshield options....

    Here is one that does work! From Gustafsson's in St. Augustine, FL. Not cheap and may offend the aesthetics of some -- but it WORKS! This is the 30" and the 26" would probably do the job, but I didn't want to take the chance. I have not been above 80 [yet] but no helmet buffetting and steady...
