• 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.

    Weather radio channel?

    Hello, I just "discovered" that I do have indeed a weather radio on my recently acquired 2014 RT! I always only got static noise when I tried in the past, so I thought perhaps it was an optional feature that I did not have, but now I managed to get some, distorted sound from channel 3. The...

    Newbie question on lights

    Hello, please forgive the basic, "silly" question, but I am a little confused about lights on my 2014 RT. I see that next to each beam light there is what appears to be a small receptacle that on my Spyder is not in use. What is that for? Also, to install fog lights do I need a full kit that...

    Trailer rock guard - how important is it?

    I am about to buy an Aluma flat bed trailer for my 2014 Spyder RT. It comes without a rock guard, but one can be added for $270. My question is, how important is it? Logic tells me that motorcycles are built for the road, so being on a trailer should not be worse than riding on the road. I am...
