• 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.

    Are rider floorboards adjustable

    I bought my wife the 2015 STS and because of her short stature have made a couple minor mods for her. Now she tells me she wants to raise the rider floorboards an inch or so. Are these adjustable? I know the passage ones are, but just glancing over the riders set I see no adjustment. Any info or...

    Need advice from a good Wrench 2010 RS SE5 downshifting issue

    I took the 2010 RS SE5 into the shop for routine maintenance (8,000 miles on it) and when I got it back I noticed that when I downshift it is REALLY rough. Only when it shift from 2 to 1st does it sound normal. All the other gears it sounds like the clutch is not disengaging and is being...

    Please describe what a "skin" is.

    These seat skins I see for sell, do they have padding that gives a seat a different profile, or are they only covers that go over the original seat cover? Are they hard to install and do they work well (stay put)? I assume it would not matter if they are for an RS or RT because I just want a...

    RS seat question

    I was at our local dealership today and was checking out the 2012 RS models. I have a 2010 RS SE5 and I noticed that the seat on the 2012 is a much better design then the 2010 I have (I don't know about 2011 because I never seen them). My question is quit simple. Will the seat off a 2012 RS...

    Noise at higher RPM

    2010 RS SE5, about 10K on the odometer. I don't ride this machine very often because it belongs to my wife. She told me that it makes a loud sound when she is going fast. I took it out for a test ride and what it "sounds like" is top end noise after 3k RPM. I ride an HD Sportster and the top...

    Help with burning legs idea ...

    Here's the deal. The wife is riding a Spyder RS SE5 and because of physical reasons her legs hug Spidey pretty tight. As a result her legs become very red and sometimes almost burn. Not to the point of blistering, but it is definitely uncomfortable for her. I suggested to her to wear...

    Where is this?

    Below is a picture I took about 3 years ago somewhere in the Texas Hill Country. Aside from being a pretty picture, the road it was on was pretty challenging. I was with my wife and we were in our car when we stopped there and for the life of me I cannot remember where it was!! I think, but I...

    Doing your own maintenance

    I hate to admit financial difficulties but because of reasons I won't get into I have to really count my change. That being said, I have been racking up so many miles on my RS that I cannot afford to take it to the dealer for the scheduled maintenance. It seems like it wasn't even a month ago...

    Auto transmission question

    2010 RS SE5 (semi-automatic) with 2500 miles on the clock. Yesterday went to sister's house and parked in driveway, slightly inclined driveway. This was the destination after traveling 60 miles at 70 MPH. After about a 3 hour visit, go out and get on RS and start her up. Gear shifter was...

    Two wheels in the front

    Not a Spyder, but this little rascal sure looks fun. Snapped a pic of it today coming out of a gas station.

    Special Parking Brake Mod

    This mod certainly isn't for everyone. In fact, probably very few but for those where it would apply it is great for a cheap and easy fix. THE NEED: I did this for my wife who has cerebral palsy which considerably limits the extension in her legs. To put it simple, she cannot straighten her...

    Gremlin Bells

    I want to get my wife a gremlin bell for her RS and was wondering if gremlin bells are part of the Spyder culture or not, and where would be a good place for her to hang it?

    Undercover Spyder Lover

    Ok, I love my Sportster. To hear a lot of Harley-Davidson owners talk it seems it is the unloved stepchild of the HD line-up, being called a "starter bike" or "girl's bike". The thing is, after several thousand dollars in engine mods and aesthetic mods it is the closest thing to heaven in my...

    Intro with question

    This seems like the best Spyder forum around from what I have read so far so thought I'd join in and introduce myself. The wife and I just got a 2010 RS SE5 which is my wife's primary rider. Figured I ought to get on here under my own identity since it will be me that does any modding and...
