• 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.

    Big Thank You

    Hi all. I just wanted to send out a big "thank you" to the sponsors of the Spyders in the Redwoods event. My wife and I were unable to attend due to family emergency. I arrived home from work today to find a care package from, who I can only assume, is the event coordinators. The package...

    Another DESS story.

    Hey all. Quick question please. Had my DESS module replaced several months ago for DESS orange screen. Seems to be a common problem in the 2014 RT's like mine. Started having intermittent DESS orange screens shortly after replacement. The usual inducements worked for awhile. Finally wouldn't...

    RT Seat Question

    Hey guys and gals. Have two questions about seat for the RT. Are the seats for the RT's 2010-2104 interchangable? If so, I would be looking for a standard RT seat pan to have a custom seat built for my 2014 RT. If you have a seat pan available, please let me know. Thanks all. :doorag:

    Before the sparks fly.

    Hi folks. I humbly, once again, seek wisdom from this roundtable of Spyder techromancy. :bowdown: I will be installing a Fuzeblock FZ-1 on my 2014 RTL. Any suggestions as to location? I want to keep it as close to the battery as possible. Any issues with installing it in the frunk? Or...

    Great Ride!

    Hi All. Just have to add my two cents to the positive accolades shared about the 2014 Spyders. Put about 100 miles on my new 2014 RT limited this week and the difference between this machine and the 2012 I traded is amazing. Loved the 2012, but this machine is a quantum leap forward...in my...

    Hey guys, got a quick question. I replaced my OEM front tires with the Bridgestone Potenza's. What tire pressures are others of you running. I find that when running at recommended pressures, the ride is stiff. Also, did you make a shock adjustment after installing them. Thanks for the...

    Electrical conundrum.

    I'm reaching out to all of you Spyder gurus. I had a wire from my brightsides come loose from it's zip tie under the fender and was rubbed by the tire. The insulation was worn through and bare wires (both pos and grnd). I'm sure they were in contact with one another. I now have no light on...

    Does anyone know?

    So...I'm removing the seat on my RT to install a Utopia seatback. I remove one of the hinge bolts and it falls into the abyss between the mounting brackets. Has anyone traveled down this path. It appears that short of dismantling the bike, I won't be able to get it out. Any ideas? Im...

    I seem to recall some talk on the forum of the possibility of moving the location of the next Spyderfest due to minimal lodging opportunities. Is the next Spyderfest going to relocate or will it be in Cuba?:dontknow:
