• 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.

    Heads-up to all those using GoPro Hero 8 Black Action cameras.............

    Took a ride this morning in this beautiful 105 heat index SC weather to shoot some videos of my favorite rides nearby. I've had this camera (GoPro Hero 8 Black) for a few years now and love the clear rock solid videos it takes. Anyway, all was well till I got home to download my video and charge...

    So, I learned something Today.

    Our flag is lowered to half-mast on Memorial Day, but only until 12pm. It is the only time all year that it is raised back up at Noon. Do you know why? It is lowered until noon for all of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice defending her and all that she stands for. It is raised back up for...

    Shell Rotella T6 Out of Stock! Any available? Any Alternatives?

    I have always use Rotella F6 5W-40 in my Spyders and recently went out to purchase a couple of gallons to do a needed oil change in my 21 RTL. I went to 4 Walmart's that were all out of stock. Then I went to every auto parts store in the Myrtle Beach SC area who either did not carry Rotella F6...

    USB port on 2020+ RTL.........

    Does anyone know the power output of the USB port in the glove box of the 2020+ RTL? The reason I'm asking is that I have mounted a GoPro camera and the max power input is 5V 1-2amp. Anything higher than that will fry the camera. I would run it on it's battery power, but I don't want to keep...

    Pull behind trailer....

    Looking to pull the trigger on a pull behind trailer for touring with the wife this year. Thinking of a Freedom, when I came across this. Anyone have any experience with one of these. Tons of cargo space. And I like the black diamond finish. Looks like I can strap my golf clubs to it for local...

    HowTo: 2020-21 RTL Auxiliary Light Install with optional on/off switch

    Background: Because the 2020-21 RTL’s do not have fog lights as an option and I wanted more illumination up front, I decided to install the Auxiliary Light under the Frunk. BRP has one for a ridiculously high price of $265. It is a simple plug n’ Play accessory for that price, but if you don’t...

    My in-depth Comparison of 2018 RTL Chrome vs. 2021 RTL Chrome. (Long Read)

    The first thing that hits you like a ton of bricks is the brake pedal position. It is forward and to an angle. This is a huge adjustment for anyone who rode the prior years rts. I found out the hard way when I almost lost her after a car decided he was changing lanes w/out a turn signal and in a...

    Hey all you 2020 RTL Owners........

    Thinking of trading my 18 for a 20 or 21 RTL. To those of you that own a 2020, do the mirrors need to be removed to do maintenance on them, if so can they be replaced with magic mirrors? Has the sway bar been upgraded? Lastly, Does it throw off a lot of heat in the cockpit when stopped? Thank...

    Power Slide............

    Well, guess I took that corner a little too fast as Gracie's a$$ end slid pretty good through the turn. Pucker factor was about a 9, :shocked: as I wasn't expecting that to happen, but what a big-ole-grin on my face when she came out of it. :yes: Checked for sand or perhaps some oil on the road...

    First Oil Change and Results.....

    Changed Gracie's oil this morning at 2975 miles. jacked her up and put her on ramps. Took me about 2 hours taking my time. Only skinned 3 knuckles. :banghead: All & all not a bad job for any home mechanic to tackle. I was really surprised by the amount of filings/metal shavings the magnetic plug...

    For those of you using an Airhawk cushion....

    OK, Gracie's seat is way too hot this time of year. :yikes: Looking at airhawk seat cushions and would like to know which model (Airhawk R or Airhawk 2) is the preferred model for a spyder rider. It appears that one is air adjustable and one is not. Also which size (Lrg. or small for the...

    Lifting my 2018 RTL......

    Hey Guys, I went to lift my RTL and found a spring hanging in the exact area that I want to place 1 of the arms of my jack. (see pic). The spring appears to hold the exhaust manifold to another section of the exhaust. I can't turn it and I don't want to crush the spring, so I'm stumped. Has...

    Keyed power source......

    Howdy fellow SL's. Installing a digital voltmeter with 2 usb connectors to my 2018 RTL. Got it installed(middle blank in switch cluster) and wires snaked through the spyder under world :clap: and want to connect into a keyed power source. I found the fog light circuit and not sure which color is...

    She's a 2018 RTL Chrome in charcoal gray. Gracie and I can be found in the Murrells Inlet area of the grand strand. I currently ride with the Moose Riders and Legion Riders, but enjoy solo rides to nowhere. Been riding over 55 years and still get a thrill riding in the wind. If you come to any...
