• 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.

    My 2021 Rides Like A Buckboard

    I picked up my 2021 RT Limited last week. I'm worried that I have a problem with the automatic suspension feature. The ride is very "harsh" . Almost like there no suspension, or it's "wound very tight". When I come to a stop, it feels like it "settles". I've been riding solo to get accustomed to...

    With 8,000 miles on the OEM Kenda rear tire, the center tread wear bars are just now flush with the tread. I've been doing my research here to get an idea which tire(s) this Spyder Community chooses. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that many different brands, sizes and "models" of tires are...
