• 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.

    Angle of foot rest

    We have made serveral longer rides recently, breaking in me and my new 2014 RTS-SE6 - 4000 miles now. I have come home from these longer rides with hurting toes. It seems to me that the angle of the foot rests are allowing/encouraging my feet to slide forward in my boots and jamming my toes in...

    Shifting in the 2014

    Shifting form 13 SE5 to 14 SE6 I had a 2013 Se5 and hated the high RPM shifting. We have a lot of backroads and I was running in 1st and 2nd all the time. It would run at a high rpm whine - hated it. My new 2014 se6 (2500 miles now) is SO MUCH BETTER. I run it in the ECO mod usually and...

    2014 Spyder SE6 gas mileage

    I just finished a benefit ride in VT, 120 miles to get there, 120 for the ride and 120 home - average across the rides was 39.5mpg. (I was in eco mode, which is fine bye me) Vast improvement over the 22.5 mpg on my 2013RTSE5.

    Wet front Trunk on my new 2014

    Back from dealer. He thinks that is because I had the Can-An Dongle installed and it required drilling a hole to pass wires through. They thought the wires were tight in the hole and didn't think of sealing it "more" Rain water would have dripped in at the frunk latch and usually drip to the...

    Heat shielding for hot seat

    Thanks for the information -- may I send it to my mechanic? I was wondering, though, What happens to the heat that is reflected from seat, glove box, etc.? Does it just get stuck inside and make the inards hotter? I was looking at the adjustable wind deflectors, saw kind of mixed reviews.

    Riding at sunset and at night

    Same symptoms in our stable nice. hope you are back on the Ebony Machine. The second trike sat in our garage for several weeks this summer due to the rider's bum foot. It was quite jealous of my Spyder going out for air.
