• 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.

    Anyone tried to modify their 2020+ RT OEM Windshield with a GL1800 vent?

    I bought an F4 windshield with the Goldwing vent already installed. The difference is not as great as I was hoping, it seems that once the air is through the vent it runs straight up the inside of the windshield.

    Installing Garmin Zumo R1 Radar - any suggestions on where to run the wire?

    I finished the installation of the Garmin R1 radar system on my 2020 Spyder RT. I used a split grommet as was suggested, and that was definitely the way to mount the rear radar hardware. I have some specific reasons for needing it and (spoiler alert) I love it. First, I’m a long term T1...

    Installing Garmin Zumo R1 Radar - any suggestions on where to run the wire?

    Thanks all. I like the idea of the split grommet, and that is how I’ll install it. Pics will follow once I’m finished, as well as my evaluation of the product.

    Installing Garmin Zumo R1 Radar - any suggestions on where to run the wire?

    I have been gifted a Garmin Zumo R1 Radar system (new product). It will let you know when someone is in your blind spot and close behind you. I really like this idea in that my old stiff neck doesn’t swivel as far as it used to, and I have this feature on my car and it works very well...

    Choosing between Spyder or Tri-Glide? Drawbacks for either?

    This is a YouTube link where a fellow (former two wheeler) decides to buy a Can Am instead of a Tri-Glide. https://youtu.be/NM6r0uuYfpQ?si=IH8KMVvGAwSCg3Cm

    How serious is a C1290 error code? Ignore 'til next service, or Dealer Now?

    Thanks for the input, it was the battery. I was trying to start the bike to take it to get the battery tested, and after the dashboard lit up there was a "POP", then everything went completley dead. Since I installed a new battery the issue has gone away.

    How serious is a C1290 error code? Ignore 'til next service, or Dealer Now?

    thanks, all good suggestions. My battery is fully charged (sitting on a tender, although it is 3 years old…hmmmm). I have never had the front end aligned after the initial purchase, although it tracks straight and true.

    How serious is a C1290 error code? Ignore 'til next service, or Dealer Now?

    About 6 weeks ago my 2020 RT Limited gave me a C1290, which I looked up and it was described as a “ Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction”. Everything seemed fine (and I was out of town) so I continued driving without incident. It just showed up a second time. The bike seems fine...

    Planning a Trip to the Ozark Mountains - any advice?

    No plans at all yet except the schedule - I’m hoping for some guidance. I suppose I’m looking for a hotel near the center of the best riding areas. Since I’m coming from the Southeast (Alabama), I’d hope to stay and ride more on the Arkansas side of the Ozarks.

    Planning a Trip to the Ozark Mountains - any advice?

    A friend and I are planning a trip to the Ozark mountains near the end of September. We’ll have 1 full day and two 1/2 days to ride. The Ozarks are new to me, so; What are some good motorcycle friendly hotels in the area? What restaurants do you recommend (and not recommend)? What roads are...

    Looking for suggestions on where you mounted your Ram ball on 2020+ RT

    I have one of these on each side of my handlebars. https://providence-spyder-accessories.com/apps/webstore/products/show/4631345

    2020 RT - front seat won't stay raised - any solutions?

    Thanks for all the input. I think I’ll try the spring solution that PW2013STL suggested, and if that fails I’ll use the dowel with Velcro. I’m getting an RDL seat and that will probably be heavier than the stock.

    Best seats - are Russell Day Long seats REALLY that good?

    I’m reluctant to be negative about any Spyder vendor, particularly small motorcycle shops working hard to keep the lights on. But, I’ve thought about a long time and decided posting this was warranted. Take this for what it’s worth - Perhaps I’m in error, perhaps I caught this vendor on a bad...

    Best seats - are Russell Day Long seats REALLY that good?

    That really won’t be a problem - when I bought the Comfort seat I kept the stock seat, so I will send that one in to be rebuilt. Now … I just have to sell my wife on why this is more important than replacing our sunroom sofa :riding:

    Before I buy a 2nd phone… could I just use it for BRP Connect functions?

    I have a handlebar mount for my phone because I monitor my blood sugar on the display (I’m a long term diabetic). This means I can’t use BRP Connect since it controls the display. I can still use my phone for phone calls and music via Bluetooth, but none of the BRP Connect features. If I had...

    2020 RT - front seat won't stay raised - any solutions?

    Recent problem. 2 year old bike, seat has always stayed up for filling with gas, etc. Now it flops straight down. There is no air lift and I'm not sure what mechanism is meant to hold the seat in the raised position. Thoughts? Solutions? I can live with this minor issue but I find it...

    Best seats - are Russell Day Long seats REALLY that good?

    Thanks all for the input. Tomorrow I will call Laam and RDL and make a decision. I also noticed RDL has a genuine leather option. Sounds appealing and the claim is that with proper care it will last as well as vinyl. Any parting thoughts?

    Best seats - are Russell Day Long seats REALLY that good?

    On various bikes, I’ve had a Corbin, a Mustang, and an Ultimate seat. I’m currently driving a 2020 RT with the Comfort seat and my butt just aches after 2-3 hours (My wife says I haven’t had a butt since i turned 50!) The only brand I have never heard ANTYHING bad about is the Russell Day Long...

    2020 RT & Sena - what's needed to achieve the correct pairing?

    I got a new helmet and added a Sena SRL headset to it. It's been long enough I don't remember if I paired the Sena unit to the bike as a phone, 2nd phone, or other device. Either way, it isn't pairing properly. So, what setting do I use on the helmet to achieve the correct pairing?

    Passenger rubber hand bars - any way to repair?

    I fixed a similar problem with the tape used to wrap handlebars on road-bicycles.
