• 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.

    Squared Away hits it again

    Another great job by Ann and Joe. Lined up my F3L today in Tracy Ca. Between that and the Baha Ron sway bar that Richard Kuwitzky installed she rides like a different and much better machine!!! If you don't have a Baha Ron bar and haven't had your bike aligned by Squared Away you're giving up a...

    F3L brake pedal ?

    I have a 2018 F3L and previously had an Rss, a STL and a F3s . Never had to "search" for the brake pedal before but for some reason do on this bike .I installed the lowering brake rod from Lamont and that's a huge improvement but still not comfortable finding the brake. Does the larger pad from...

    No more bobble head :-)

    2015 F3s, blueridge wind screen and I just didn't get along. Found posts here about the X-creen, most seemed to like it at a fraction of the cost of an aftermarket screen so I gave it a try. Got it on today and I am doing a happy dance, no bobble head up to 80mph on the freeway!!! I did the add...

    love this forum !!!

    My new 2015 F3s has the blue ridge windshield and like most I find it sadly lacking. Priced all the after market and just no way I can afford any I found. Was reading all the F3 section from page 75 backwards and found many posts on the x-screen add on and everyone seems to really like it. Just...

    Rambling thread...1ST self oil change...My new F3s WILL outrun my wife's STL :-)

    My first self oil change, 2014 STL. Took about 4 hours but after learning next one should be bout 45 mins. Panel removal was easy till the bottom one; Spyder was on the floor, no ramps. Took forever to figure out how to remove that panel. Engine oil filter screws were a "B" to get at. See the...

    Hard steering 2015 STL

    Wife and I took a 700 mile round trip this weekend, her to walk and me to motorcycle crew the Santa Barbara Avon Breast cancer walk. The Spyder did great at sustained 80 and 85 mph with one exception...very hard steering. On the way down the tires were way under inflated but on the way back both...

    Finally rode the F3 and slingshot

    Sprint motorcycles in San Jose demo rides yesterday. Rode ( drove? ) the slingshot, my take is it would be a blast on a lonely mountain road or closed course but I would not like it getting there. No forward visibility in traffic at all and the drive train is incredibly noisy to me. It was new...

    TricLED....Awesome costumer services !!!!!!

    Ordered some lights for the wife's STL on Friday and didn't use the black Friday drop down box. After seeing my mistake I sent them an email asking if they could fix my mistake. I had a reply within two hours and the next day the extra I paid was already credited back to my card. As busy as they...

    huge thanks to Squared Away and Richard Kuwitzky

    Had both my RSS and the wife's STL aligned by S A on Saturday, both were only out a little but omg what a huge difference it made. Both are even more fun and hold a line in turns like a rail. If you've ever wondered if laser alignment was worth it, in my opinion there's no doubt that it is...

    review of spyder attitude exhaust

    Installed the spider attitude exhaust this morning and WOW !!!! Super simple install, everything fit correctly first try. The sound is great to me, kinda loud but not too much when idling past the neighbors but when you open it up, oh my 😁. Best way too describe it is it sounds like a big block...
