• 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.

    We're considering shipping one of our Spyders to our summer home in central Maine from our winter home in the San Antonio, Tx area and are in search of recommendations for reputable motorcycle/vehicle shipping companies.

    HowTo: RT seat and trunk shock strut replacement

    Today turned out to be the day I replaced the trunk lift strut on my 2015 RT-S and the trunk and seat lift struts on my wife's 2021 Sea to Sky. All three are Show Chrome heavy duty struts available from Lamonster Garage and several other vendors. Both trunk struts include detailed instructions...

    Dual Horn Installation - 2021 Sea to Sky

    Yesterday I spent several hours, excluding breaks, installing Spyder Extras dual horns, sold by Sling Mods, on my charming wife's 2021 Sea to Sky. To arm myself with all the information available I read the Spyder Extra instructions several times and then watched the Sling Mods installation...

    Another Baja Ron Anti-sway Bar Installation

    My charming spouse presented me with a Baja Ron anti-sway bar for my birthday (hints work wonders) and yesterday I finally ran out of excuses and installed it on my 2015 RT-S. I read every post I could find on the subject and watched several videos, and after treating myself to a 3 ton floor...

    Shout Out for SpyderPops

    I recently ordered the "2020 and up RT MIRROR STAY ON TURN SIGNALS PLUG/PLAY" from SpyderPops for my wife's 2021 Sea to Sky. Apparently I wasn't quite careful enough when following the installation instructions regarding the LED strips and when done the right side turn signal portion flashed...

    2012 RT Limited Radio Question

    The question itself is pretty straight forward, but some back story might provide some additional insight. The question: In the photo below, what purpose or purposes does the connector plugged into the left side of the radio serve? The back story is this: While removing the frunk to replace...

    A Pox on BRP!

    Well, at least a pox on the engineer who decided on the placement of the horn on the 2012 Spyder RTL. I disassembled my wife's RTL to replace the incandescent fog lamps with LED versions after having managed the replacement on my 2015 RT-S. Actually, removing the frunk on hers was easier than...

    New Gas Strut for the RT Saddle

    My very small rainy day task today was replacing the "hold up the saddle" gas strut on my wife's 2012 RTL. As suggested by one of our forum members (terrible at remembering names) I ordered a McMaster-Carr Item 9416K17 gas spring, 15.63" extended length, 40lbs force, and two M6 snap-on ball...

    Installation Frenzy - Wheels, Tires, Lights, Etc.

    In a fit of unconstrained post-Christmas activity I spent the past two days installing magic mirror mounting hardware and LED headlights, first on my bride's 2012 RTL and then my 2015 RT-S. Then I swapped the OEM twelve spoke black wheels and Kenda tires on my RT-S for a pair of PPA Widow 15...

    Well, How About That!

    You just never can tell when something really strange will occur. It snowed in San Antonio and greater south central Texas last night! Good Lord, it's Armageddon! The irony is that we have snow on the ground at our winter home but there isn't any at our summer home in Maine. Feel like we...
