• 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.

    Spyder's are lacking a dedicated magazine

    What Loud Horns are available for Spyders?

    It is reasonably loud, but only the 'low' tone of a pair. Adding the 'high' tone makes a considerable difference. By the way, the Scout horn, which is also an Indian horn, is very ordinary, at best.

    Buy 2017 or wait till 2018?

    When those 2018 models start arriving at the dealers they have an even greater reason to move those pesky 2017 models sitting around. This is especially so when there isn't much, if any, change in models from one year to the next.

    adjusting the front shocks

    I have purchased many motorcycles and cars and no dealer explained how to adjust any item except the car seat and tilt steering wheel. I have managed to get through life with these vehicles and the lack of information from the dealers quite well. Some dealers may be greedy, some may be bastards...

    RT Sway Bar?

    This may appear off topic but bear with me. In 2002 I had an H-D Sportster (new XLH) and joined a couple of forums. One of the most discussed items was the replacement of front fork springs and rear shock absorbers. This was after the engineers at H-D spent plenty of time and money to develop...

    Do you need to balance a new tire?

    Good Enough I one time in my riding life I owned an H-D which needed a new rear tire. I took it to the dealer where the Service Manager told me 'we don't balance rear tires as it is not necessary'. I said 'if that is so, why did it come from the factory with a balanced rear wheel?' They...
