• 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.

    How Fast

    110 So far the only opportunity that I had to open her up got me to 110 mph. She still had a little bit more to go. Maybe 120-125? I'll let you know next spring.

    Headset I have these. $74. The speakers are a bit tinny, but they work fine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x1000m-BT-S2-Bluetooth-Motorcycle-Helmet-Headset-Intercom-Waterproof-FM-Radio/351989755038?epid=885515372&hash=item51f4396c9e:g:sKgAAOSw4shX4eb0

    Sorry but another newb here.

    Fun never stops When I had the two wheel bike I always shifted my inside foot to be off the peg a bit so that when I hit my foot, the peg was next and didn't go too much lower. That's how I always rode until last year. Peg scraping a lot. Then I got the Spyder. No more leaning. A friend...

    I have the spare key under the seat with Velcro. I have a spare key from a blank that only unlocks but won't start in my wallet to unlock the seat.

    What would be the smallest cargo trailer my Spyder would fit?

    Cargo mate makes a 6 1/2 x 10. That's what I bought. Plenty of room to get the Spyder in.

    Heading to Madawaska ME and then Quebec City - Need Recommendation

    Old Quebec City We would have liked to stay in Old Quebec City but we trailered our Spyder to the 10th anniversary and didn't want to try and maneuver the truck and trailer in town. Stayed here: https://www.orbitz.com/trips/7238403083921 just outside of town. Very nice and had a great...

    Helmet lock

    Ok, here's the drawing. It took longer to make the 3D model and the drawing then it did to make the two parts. Hah! I have included the bend dimensions but what you really want to do is bend the tang, hook it on, mark the first bend with a pencil, bend, mark the next bend with a pencil, etc...

    Helmet lock

    The square hole slips over the Spyder plastic clip but that's why the tang in picture 2 is there, it hooks under the plastic under the seat and the side panel both. Yes, someone could break it I suppose, but you'd have to pull pretty hard. But I think it would be easier to get your fingers...

    Helmet lock

    I just didn't like any of the helmet locks I've looked at and the helmet clips under the seat don't work at all, so I made these after lunch today.

    What kind of Trailer do you use to carry your Spyder?

    6.5 x 10 foot trailer I just got this a week ago. Because I was replacing a 5x8 trailer and my driveway is already full, I wanted the smallest trailer available with a door wide enough to make it easy to get in. This is a semi-special trailer from CargoMate in Elkhart Indiana. Model number...
