• 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.

    As far as I know, the Spyder is the only 3 wheeler engineered to ride on 3 wheels. Most trike's have car tires on the rear and a motorcycle tire in the front and I road a Harley and Goldwing with a conversion kit on before purchasing the Spyder. Did not like the handling at all. Did not get a...

    Just returned from 2 weeks of riding in the Smokies with our new Quatrac 5 tires front 16 psi and 18 psi rear and what a great experience in comfort and handling the majestic winding roads that this area has.

    Can you increase the fuse amperage for the trunk power adapter? Or other solution?

    Sorry for the confusion, the Acadia is a full size SUV by GMC not a motorcycle. We had to change out the 20 amp fuse for a 25 amp fuse because the 20 amp fuse blew on our trip up to the Smokies. The 25 amp fuse fixed the problem in our car and now we want to fix the problem of charging my...

    Can you increase the fuse amperage for the trunk power adapter? Or other solution?

    Thank you for all your responses. Her machine is a Inogen 3. If we were to get a dedicated line from the battery with applicable fuse for safety will this be a safe solution. As Baron14y has stated it only draws 7 amperes and is it necessary to have a 12 gauge independent wire from the...
