• 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.

    In lieu of the Block Off Plate...for heat deflection

    I have a bad right leg due to Vietnam. Heat aggravates it tremendously. Baker Built Air Wings was kind enough to mold me an Air Wing Deflector, according to my specs. I had them make one side to extend to and overlap the Tupperware. The other end of the wing is open to deflect heat. The block...

    Putting on new tires and jacking it up

    On a 2013 RT Limited, what is the best way to jack up both front tires and leave them jacked up while getting new tires installed, balanced, and reattached to the spyder. I don't have a lift and am not going to use the Kendra tires. Dr. Buck suggested I pose this question to the forum, since...

    tip for checking and filling rear spyder tire

    When riding Harley bikes, I had trouble getting to the valve stem, similar to the RT Limited rear tire. Anyway, Harley sells a valve stem extension that is about 6 inches long. You screw it to the valve stem on the tire and then you can easily check and fill your rear tire. Life made easy...

    Removing front wheels

    I was thinking of packing a folding 4 size lug wrench in my frunk for trips that require me to remove a wheel in the event of an emergency. However, neither of the lug wrench ends would fit.

    2013 RT Ltd start up shudder

    My RT is parked inside my garage. Started it up this afternoon and released the Parking Brake and went into reverse to back out of the garage. It seemed to "shudder" while backing out. Is that a result of the parking brake not fully releasing? Any ideas about this?

    What Vendor will make this first....

    I installed the bumpskid for low curb bumps and street debris. However, the frunk lid has a very pointed and highly vulnerable nose that is subject to damage and high cost in the event of an small bump that high up. It seems, or maybe there is and I can't find it, that someone would have...

    Got my 2013 RT Limited new on April 27, 2013....seat being customized

    Took the spyder to a custom auto upholsterer today, one that specialized in high end hot rod renovations. He is going to redesign my stock seat resulting in moving me back 4+ inches and going to re-cover it with a better grade motorcycle seat material, that will allow you to shift on the seat...

    2013 RT Limited front shock adjustment

    I called my dealer this morning and asked how to make the adjustment on the front shock to a 5, to make it stiffer. He checked and said evidently the 2013 does not have an adjustment that can be made. Do any of you know if that is part of the suspension upgrade for the 2013? thanks
