• 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.

    Grip Puppies

    I have a new to me 2012 RT and stumbled across Grip Puppies. Anyone use them? Do they help? Work with the heated grips? Easy to slide on? My hands tend to get numb when I ride, even when I have a very loose grip, so wondering if these are worth getting? thanks for any light you can shed on them!

    Anyone use ESI?

    I'm thinking of getting a set of front mud flap turn signals from ESI. Wondering if they are any good and are worth the $ before I buy them. Anyone have these? Pros/cons?

    New to me 2012 RT question

    Hi all just picked up a new to me 2012 RT and have a question. I was trying to figure out the radio today and when I shut the bike down, there is a kind of humming sound from the right side of the bike. Is this the norm or should I turn off the radio or?? Thanks all!

    Hard time deciding!

    Hi all, I'm in the market for a Spyder and am really torn between the ST and the RT. Apples to oranges, I know. I had a 2010 RS, and ended up selling it to go back to 2 wheels. Now I find that arthritis and my knees have become super good friends, and 2 wheels just won't work for me any...

    Water in the gas

    So I have a bit of an issue. I inadvertently put gas in the bike that had water in it and now I can't get the bike to crank up at all. Was trying to head out for a ride, didn't have enough gas to make it to the gas station and grabbed the gas can that had flood water in it without knowing it...

    Stopping for gas

    I went on a road trip to TN this past week, and was the only :spyder:in the group. It seemed that the motorcycles would fill up quickly, and I'd still be waiting for the gas to fill up on my bike. Seems that I had to wait for the gas to pour down in the tank before refilling it so it wouldn't...

    Rear break light cover

    I'm embarrassed to say that the garage door came down on my break light cover yesterday and broke it off. :gaah: I thought I had it back on today, and went for a ride, but lost it on the ride. Any idea of what to replace it with or how much a replacement cover costs?

    Motad exhaust for RS

    Does any one have a Motad exhaust on their RS? Trying to figure the best bang for the $ with an aftemarket pipe, and saw this on Ebay. I'm torn between this, the HMF & Two Bros single pipe. I'd love the 2 Bro's dual pipe, but that's out my budget so no can do. If you have any of these pipes...

    From RPM to the temp

    I had the DPS update done and picked up the scoot today. It's now showing the RPM's rather than the outside temp and I miss seeing the temp! Any way to change it back to showing the temp??

    No Magic Neon\ESI

    I went to Americade on Tues, for the purpose of getting some goodies on the Spyder on Wed before heading home later that afternoon. Evan, his wife and his team are the nicest folks and went out of the way to squeeze me in to get me on the road back to NJ as quickly as possible on Wed. In...

    Big thanks to rnet & Roger

    I got the chance to meet rnet, his son Derrek & Roger today. Derrek installed my ISCI floorboards, and they all couldn't have been a nicer group of guys! Now I'm even more in love with my Spyder than ever, and after Roger showing me that an SE5 could do a burnout...well, that was the icing...

    Is this normal?

    Went out for a ride today, and ended up stopping in a small town for something to drink. My girlfriend rides a Vulcan and shared the parking spot with me as we stood outside finishing up our drinks. All the sudden she grins at me and says 'I think you have an admirer' and sure enough here...

    Storage cover?

    I live in an apt complex, and don't have a garage to store the new ride in. Currently my Roadking is in a bike barn, but it won't fit the Spyder. Does anyone use an outdoor cover and if so, what kind/brand do you use? Thanks in advance! Gimpy

    Good deal?

    I went for a test drive on an '09 SE5 today and made the decision to give up my Roadking and buy a Spyder. Seemed the folks at the dealership I test drove it at weren't really in the mood to talk price, so I ended up at another dealership this afternoon. They have an '10 orbital blue SE5 out...

    Floorboards?

    Anyone got pics of their RS with floorboards on it? Couldn't find any here so thought I'd put it out there to y'all. Reason being, is that my left leg will only bend to a 90 degree angle now,since I broke my leg. The pegs on the RS are back too far for my leg to bend. :gaah: So close to...

    Riding with a passenger?

    Just curious, when you ride with a passenger, do they feel comfy on the back of your Spyder? Do you have room to be comfy or are they smooshed up on your back? Does it change the way you have to ride/stop? Just wondering as I ride passengers on my motorcycle, and know it can get uncomfy for me...

    Where's the gas cap?

    I went looking at Spyders today and really liked the look of them. Being a motorcycle rider, this is all new to me so I started to ask the sales guy questions about it. He couldn't tell me anything, cept how much fun they are to ride. :dontknow:I still have no idea where the gas cap is on...
