• 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.

    Test Drove A Goldwing Trike

    I know this has been covered before, but until you actually do it, there is no comparison. I test drove an 18 Goldwing DCT trike yesterday. WOW! Not impressed. Lots of power, but the steering, as people have mentioned in previous threads, is not good. I will keep my 2020 RTL or maybe look at a...

    I am confused, which is not hard for me anymore. Anyway, I took this damper off a 2016 RTL. Can I safely assume that the damper has changed for 2014 and up?

    Warranty Question - Would you let a regular M/cycle shop fit a rear tire?

    Before anyone blasts me, yes I have used the search and couldn't find the answer(s). It was explained to me by a dealer that they would install a auto tire if I wanted, BUT they would have to report it to BRP. I guess warranty issue. Now the question. Would you let a regular motorcycle shop...

    Do Oil Filters deteriorate over time? OK to use after 2-4 years of storage?

    This not about which 1 I should use. I have 3 HIFLO HF556 filters. Don't know how old they are. Probably about 2-4 years old. Do these deteriorate over time? Is it ok to use them? I know an engine is expensive compared to a filter.

    Can I tow a Spyder pull-behind Trailer with my truck?

    I didn't know what title to use. A friend needs some work done on a pull behind trailer (cargo). I don't have a hitch on my Spyder, so I can't tow from his house to mine (about 50 miles). My question is: Can I tow the trailer with my truck?
