• 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.

    Can someone explain the physics of how a tire balancer liquid works?

    I've seen a video of a water bottle with beads hooked to a drill, and it worked. Seems counter intuitive. Seems like if I put balance beads in a slingshot it would never spin.

    Do you use Color Correct O-rings?

    I have tried before to get o-rings and ended up with 'close enough' per the seller. I don't like that. Am I the only one who doesn't like 'close enough'? So I pay the stealership prices.

    Rear tire disappointment - OEM Tire worn out already!

    I've read many complaints about the stock tires, read a lot of posts when we first joined the family. Its a 21 F3S, concluded 15 psi front and 28 rear would be my goal, 99% solo rider. At 15k miles the middle of the tread is 2/32" and the outer edges are 6/32". Ordered a General Altimax and I...

    Wondering what you've all done for Towing mirrors?

    21 F3S, pulling a popup trailer I can't see over the trailer. Thinking bar end mirrors may be the way. Wondering what others have done. Clamping the bars doesn't interest me.

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    RFB, not sure what that is. But i do see a fuse marked for trailer. Maybe that's the customer accessory wire under the passenger seat?

    Here's what I have. But I also have a Kwik Kamp. Prolly 15 years old. I don't like pulling the popup with the 2 wheel road king, but the wife wants to pull it with her Spyder.

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    Thanks Bert. I ended up cutting the black straight out of the module, so what ever wire was tapped into was left factory except for the additional couple inches of wire. I took the black from the converter to the customer accessory wire under the passenger seat. All is well, except the brake...

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    EdMat Yes I get that. But what I didn't communicate to you properly is, it's sold as a plug and play but needs spliced. To send 12 volts into a wire that didn't previously have 12 volts may disrupt the canbus system you speak of.

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    Thanks for the reply. I tried to call but my Walmart phone wouldn't allow international calls. So im wondering why I would want to send 12 volts into the bikes harness when it didn't have 12 volts on that wire before. I'm going to snip the black and only send 12 volts into the converter and...

    Might just try a snow tire ...

    I have a mud/snow tire on the back of my 2 wheel HD. Original tire lasted 10k, this Goodyear has only given up 1/32 in 5k miles. I say go for it. I will be following your results for when the wife kills the rear on her 21 F3s

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    https://www.tekonsha.com/product-assets/install/N119147.pdf The wire in question is black coming out of the converter, it splices to orange to the harness and that's the orange you see coiled up. The installation instructions don't even mention a black wire. Black is usually ground isn't it?

    Spyder Accessories - is the trailer harness plug&play?

    So I bought the trailer hitch with plug&play harness. Video shows simple plug and play, all is well. But the plug I received has an extra orange wire tapped into the harness. Not going to turn the key on till I hear from Pierre. Looks like the powered converter changed brands from what's in the...

    Tire availability? 165/55R15

    When I replace the front I want a wider tire, the factory tire lets the rim protrude further than the tire. That was bad when we trailered it.

    BRP driver backrest - anybody else bending bolts?

    The bolt that gets pushed sideways is a terrible design! I ended up putting 2 nuts on the bolt and it's working better. Anybody else bending bolts? (Its the adjustment bolt im talking about)

    Catch can - what would one for Spyder look like?

    I can't find anything newer than 2018 when I do the search engine. I have a catchcan on the Silverado and the roadking, wondering what one might look like for the Spyder?

    Pulling a Bushtec Trailer

    I pull a trailer with my HD, I strongly suggest putting a hopkins powered converter on the trailer. Some models are waterproof. From the constant 12volt supply, you can add a charging outlet on the trailer, hot when the bike is on, hot always or one of each.
