• 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.

    New spyder owner with questions

    Everything here is just our opinions. That's what the OP asked for. My opinion is which to change first, not either-or. I probably wasn't clear about that. I have 1 equipment mod and will add the handle bar riser and floorboards soon. As for the majority rules principle, I've been...

    New spyder owner with questions

    As you can see from all of these replies: 1. Your experience is a common "first impression" for anyone coming from another bike/trike platform. 2. You can respond to it in 2 very different ways: a. Lighten up on the handle bars and push with the outside foot. Keep your knees tucked to...

    Does the Spyder have any 'Natural Enemies'?

    The wife and I both have bikes and we are now down to 1 cage. So I ride the Spyder for many local errands, part-time work, etc. thanks to the ample storage on an RT. We're moving from a 2300 sf house w/ a 3/4 acre yard in TX to a 1700 sf house with about an 1800 sf yard in FL right now. So my...

    Driver Floorboards for a 2012 RT SE5

    I talked to Don and was going to buy them, but things got crazy here and this mod went on the back burner. I'm in the middle of relocating from TX to FL now, and really can't mess with it until we get everything settled in FL. He's a nice guy and if he still has them I'd jump on them if I were...

    Demo ride,have a couple questions.

    I can't speak to the newest models, as I own a 2012. But I do have a lot of ATV, snowmobile, and motorcycle experience. So I wanted to respond to the "road shimmy" question based on my perspective. The Spyder's front end handles very similarly to an ATV, but you need a "light touch" on the...

    Moving to Pasco Co Next Month Just giving y'all fair warning... We are moving to Pasco County next month. I ride a viper red RTSE5. My wife rides a Star Stryker Raven. We are in our early 50s and have no kids. We do have family in Pasco and Pinellas. We were married in Pinellas in 1995...

    Driver Floorboards for a 2012 RT SE5

    While I appreciate the offer, I won't be there. I do like the design best of everything I've seen so far, because my entire purpose is to allow for varying my knee and ankle positions on longer rides. Yours seem to provide the most range of motion in a single product vs. smaller floor boards +...

    Driver Floorboards for a 2012 RT SE5

    Looking for opinions from people who know. I have a 2012 RT SE5 (audio & conv) with factory pegs. I'm thinking about adding front floor boards. If you've put front floor boards on one of these, what did you buy and how did it work out? What do you recommend? Is there a factory version that...

    New Graphics from WrapMySpyder

    He has a bunch of cool stuff. If some weren't currently out of stock, I would have dropped $100 on his website. 2 of these with shipping cost me about $30.

    2012 RT SE5 iPod Compatability Chart?

    P.S. on Bluetooth Ear Buds Used by Ecandy Bluetooth ear buds on a ride for the first time yesterday and thought I'd give y'all some feedback here since I mentioned this option. Comfortable and secure inside helmet. The sound quality is excellent for voice comms and good for music...better...

    2012 RT SE5 iPod Compatability Chart?

    You mean updating the iOS on the iPod? Mine is kept current and it's a 6th gen Nano. It's supposed to work.

    2012 RT SE5 iPod Compatability Chart?

    Thanks! My Nano is a 6th Gen 16GB, but my Spyder says, "MP3 player not supported." Then it'll play music, but no controls from handlebars...only on the Nano itself in the trunk. Then, if I shift, hit a turn signal, etc. it might stop playing.

    2012 RT SE5 iPod Compatability Chart?

    Most of my riding music is actually Jalapeno Pack, Outlaw Country, Southern Rock with a heavy presence from ZZ Top. But I toss in a contemporary favorite now and then for spice...like The Black Crowes, FFDP, and even Pentatonix.

    2012 RT SE5 iPod Compatability Chart?

    Anyone know which iPods are compatible with the sound system? My Nano is NOT. I've got Bluetooth earbuds and a Galaxy 7 that provide music for me. So does the wife, but via iPhone. But now and then I may want to be obnoxious and blast some Five Finger Death Punch at the beach or in a park...

    Dealer Attitude

    For what it's worth, we have 3 dealers within 50 miles and 5 within 75 miles. And I live in a tiny town 80 miles from the nearest metro area.

    Dealer Attitude

    Exactly :agree: But if you're considering buying from a different dealer than the closest one, there's a reason or three. Price? Selection? Your nephew works at the dealership further away and you want him to get the commission from the sale? These are issues that your nearest dealer...

    Looking for service around Richardson, McKinney, and Greenville, Texas - any ideas?

    Heard good things about Greenville, but haven't used them. I use Broadway Powersports in Tyler. I'm pretty impressed with them so far.

    FNG question: I've tried to figure it out a couple of times when people say that. I can find people's posts from their profile, but I have yet to see any way to get to any albums. And scrolling through 10+ pages of someone's posts to find the one you're looking for gets very time consuming...
