• 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.

    Storage Hunters

    I watch the show every now and then and on last night's new show one of the storage units that got auctioned off had a silver RS in it. It was on a jack with the front wheels off. Wheels got put on and the guy rode it right out of the storage unit. Really hope it wasn't a member here who lost...

    Can't open the frunk with my key

    Wanted to get in to my frunk to get something out and I can't open it. The key will push down but won't turn to open the frunk. It still works for the seat though so I don't think it's an issue with the key cylinder (or whatever it's called). Any ideas? Thanks for any help you all can give me...

    TN bound!!

    I will be visiting my brother in Clarksville next weekend (Sep. 21-23) and if there are any Spyderlovers that want to meet up for a quick snack and some chatting I'd be game. I will also be in Nashville on the 22nd. Last time I made the trip there on my Spyder I posted here as well and though I...

    Anything out there for the passenger grab handles?

    The passenger grab handles on my 08 GS are starting to show some fading from age and the elements (sun, rain, etc.) Is there anyone out there that makes anything for it? What I am looking for is like a leather wrap of some sorts. I know there are care and cleaning products out there that might...

    A BIG thanks to Tony and Lockhart's Odyssey!!

    I was on a trip last week to Canada and was about 1K miles from home when my oil pressure switch went out on me and I was in limp mode. I was on an exit off the 401 and there was no way I could make it to their shop via the 401 unless I wanted to become roadkill so Tony gave me directions to...

    Kenda tire vid

    I know it's not the stock tire on the Spyder but it is a Kenda. I'm sure there are some contributing factors to what happened but I for one have never seen anything like it :yikes:

    Last piece to the paint job is done!!

    So my demented mind went to work again and had Painter Dan do up the last piece to tie in all the paint he has done on my Spyder so far. I think it turned out great!! I know not all will like it since it is on the "dark" side but it's just how my weird mind works I guess :D

    Are there any vets (pet doctor) in the house? Need advice please if so...

    Would greatly appreciate any advice if there are any vets here. Long story short we have a dog that is having a medical condition that in our vet's words "has baffled every vet she knows in Mid-MO". I'm not ready to give up on him but my vet is out of options on what to do to treat him :( He's...

    Aiming headlights

    For those that have a shop manual, can you please tell me if there any measurements given to maybe help with aiming the headlights. As it stands right now, I can't ride my Spyder at night, there is just not enough light on the road for me to feel safe. Now the overhead signs on the highways, I...

    Anyone ever had this happen and can it be fixed?

    My TBR exhaust might be on it's way out, unless this is something that can be fixed. I noticed today that one of the rivets in the picture attached is gone and the other one is loose. There is play in the muffler where it attaches to the joint(?) that connects to the 90 degree pipe (sorry if I...

    HIDs question

    I had the ESI HIDs installed yesterday and was wondering if anyone has had this happen or have heard of it. I must say beforehand that I have zero knowledge on how this works so figured I would ask the experts. I do plan on calling the shop back, just wondered if maybe anyone knows what the...

    Anyone ever heard of or has used Xpel?

    I knew it was bound to happen, just didn't think it would be this soon :( Got a pea sized chip on my hood that was recently custom painted. So Dan is going to touch it up this week and I found a place that uses this Xpel product. It's a paint protection clear film that goes on nearly invisible...

    My Spyder's big winter project

    Finally got my paint job done to match my helmet that I had done last year. Some of you may remember it. I had my Spyder painted with a theme that would be close to the design on my helmet and here are the results. I gave Painter Dan my general idea of what I wanted and he took off with it...

    Winter riding.. gloves mainly

    Now that it's starting to get cooler, what do you all use for keeping your hands warm when riding? I am not a big fan of anything wired so I was mainly looking at battery powered heated gloves. Found these that seem to be good but are pricey, heck you even have to buy the batteries seperate...

    "Appearance" mod almost done

    Finished pics added.... "Appearance" mod almost done Just wanted to share the progress of my latest "appearance" mod I guess you can say. I know some will see it as pointless maybe but I like it and the Spyder will get the same treatment to match it at a later date. The only thing left to be...

    Battery warning indicator light

    Need help please. Noticed it today that when I start my Spyder that the battery light will flash once then go away. Everything works fine such as lights, horn, etc. I am almost 100% sure this has never happened before. Is this a sign that maybe my battery is going bad? Thanks in advance for any...

    Took my riding endorsement test...

    I have read a few posts lately from others saying how easy the test was for them in their home state, how many just had to maybe do a U-turn or parallel park, a figure 8 that they were allowed outside of the box to do, etc. Well I found out here in MO, at least in my town anyway that is not the...
