• 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.

    RT for after hip replacement

    My wife has had 2 Spyders, a 2008 and now a 2011 RT. I have ridden both and did not care for the 2008 sport type. The RT on the other hand is enjoyable for me to ride. Still not my goldwing, but I did like the RT. I always assumed that when I was too old to keep the Goldwing up I would change...

    I did a quick search and did not find the info I need (probably there, I just can't find it). My wife's 2011 RT has less than 3000 miles and the right fendertip lamp has already gone out. I looked in the manual and can't find a number for the lamp. Eventually we want to go to the LED fixtures...

    Exhaust noise

    I don't follow this forum too often because my wife is the Spyder owner in the family. This may have already been covered (and probably better than I can).

    Trailer cover torn

    The cover for my wife's Can Am trailer has a small tear in it. We don't have any idea how it happened but it is there. It is torn in 2 directions so it forms a small "v" about 1" on each leg. Is this a repair we should do ourselves, would it be best to take it to a "Tent and Awning" shop? Joe...

    My wife was on her way home from work today when her RT stalled. The temperature was in mid 90's and parade mode traffic on freeway. According to her, it just stopped running.

    I am looking for a substitute for the $139 BRP harness to connect my wife's CanAm trailer to my goldwing. I see that it is a 9 pin round connector. Do any of you know if it is the same layout as the 9 pin connector used for truck? It looks to be the same, but I cannot find dimensions for the...

    Vibration

    While driving my wife's RT Limited to Elk Grove Power Sports yesterday I noticed a very distinct vibration (and sound) when the tach passes through 5500 RPM. It is much more pronounced if you back off of the throttle at that point, but very noticable anytime it passes that RPM range. I had the...
