• 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.

    I installed Evoluzione's swaybar

    I got the swaybar late afternoon on Monday and installed Tuesday morning. Very straightforward and easy to install. It took around half an hour to get off the 4 panels, remove the trunk and install the bar. While the Spyder was pulled apart I decided to upgrade the horn to the Stebal airhorn...

    There is an 08 PE silver SM5 Spyder with 200 miles on it going for $13,000! It is listed on Craigslist in Redding CA if you are interested. Why are people selling the Spyders so cheap? I thought these machines would hold their value better......

    Sex on a Spyder...

    OK, now that I have your attention..... I have been noticing a high speed vibration. It is intermittant and almost feels like it is going from peg to peg. If I put my feet on the highway pegs - no vibration, only on the main pegs. I feel it at 55 - 65mph in 5th. I wonder if maybe my belt is...

    Spyder...for 1 cent?

    I was in Reno this week and visited the Circus circus casino. There is a yellow Spyder next to a bank of 1 cent slot machines. If you get the right 3 combo - the Spydie is yours. My wife and I each put $20 in the machines and played for over 1 and a 1/2 hours w/ 4 free drinks! At one point my...

    "Chemical Warfare"

    OK - I know you don't want to add friction modifiers to the Spydie because of the wet clutch. Do any of you use Z max - the micro lubricants? I have used this product in my quads and jeep over the years. I guess I love my Spyder so much that I want to ultra protect it -- got to be careful I...

    Suggestion please.....

    I want a passenger back rest for my wife. I looked at BRP - nice stuff but, with the rack and back rest we are talking like $800.!! Also looked at Spydernest - a little less expensive but, I am not thrilled with the way it looks - don't think it really blends with the bike. Any place else...
