• 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.

    Slingmods Adjustable Backrest - who has one and what do you think?

    My wife loves the one from Slingmods, I switched from the SM to the Utopia and really like it. I did file the slot on the SM for Julie so it would a bit lower on her back. If possible try a couple brands.

    Has anyone tried Different Batteries, like a NOCO 600A Lithium? How is it working?

    We installed the NOCO Lithium NLP20 batteries in our 2020 RT's recently, it completely eliminated the sluggish cranking, even when the engine is still fairly warm. The compact NOCO GENIUS2 chargers are compatible with AGM/GEL batteries as well LiPo batteries, haven't had to use them on the new...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    A couple weeks ago I installed Ikon shocks (front only) and tires all around on both RT's. Rear tire 215/60R-15 GENERAL ALTIMAX RT45 SL, fronts 175/55R-15 Vredestein Quatrac SL. I purchased the tires from Tirerack and had the tire mounted and balanced at Les Schwab. I dropped them off, my wife...

    Anyone remove the rear fender extension on 20+ Spyder?

    Hello, I had posted in the other thread, "I like the looks after the mod" but as others have stated, it's gonna get messy. We both ride solo so I didn't think it would be an issue, it really is. If you ride in the rain, or after it has rained and the roads are still wet, you'll have a lot of...

    '22 RT starting slowly after sitting on tender - replacement Battery?

    I ran into to similar situation - our 2020 RT's were "left over" models that we purchased in 2021. My battery went bad in 6 months, I'm guessing that it was on the show room floor w/o any battery maintenance for months. I installed a MotoBatt from Slingmods, it lasted just over a year before the...

    Has anyone with a 2024 Spyder RTL installed HeliBars?

    We have them on our 2020 RT's. The Heli bars made a huge difference, having the ability to fine tune the wrist angle made long rides possible for us.

    How long do the various LED Light kits last?

    I have installed a number of aftermarket LED lights on our 2020 RT's, most of them are Tricled. My sequential fender turn signal/running lights failed within a year of installation...one led here and then another until there were 5-10 on each side. My wife has had zero issues with hers for over...

    Trying to decide which a/mkt seat for 2020 RT Ltd - any discussion?

    I agree with you. I bought a used Corbin years ago for a KLR650. You could see the indentations from the previous owners IT's (ischial tuberosities) or sit bones in the saddle. Talk about firm and not ergonomically contoured.. the worst seat/cushion ever. I am a rehab/seating specialist and did...

    Do you Need better brakes coz stock discs are twisted?

    We don't push our RT's hard, pretty relaxed riders. My 2020 RT started experiencing brake "pulsing" and visible vibrating on the right fender recently. Due to dealer availability and down time, I decided to throw away several hundred dollars and purchase EBC rotors and pads. Well, it only took...

    Hey you riders with Ikon shocks on RT's, what's your opinion?

    Hey Troop, We are looking forward to giving a rider report on the Ikon shocks this spring. I ordered a couple pair in December, prior to new year (2024) price increase. We have had communication from Roger stating that the Ikon factory shuts down for a month for the new year, so we should be...

    Don't Be Fooled! Looking at you DOES NOT mean they SEE you!

    I went for a ride recently, just a quick ride to the IGA for a few grocery items and a bottle of Merlo. We live approx. 10 minute's from the grocery store, but like they say... most "accidents" are close to home. I was on a straight section in a 50 mph zone when a person pulled out in of front...

    '22 RT glove box USB won't charge iPhone as GPS - any work around?

    I am not an expert on the matter, but I thought there was a thread stating that the usb connector in the "glove box" could not provide enough current for charging while apps were being used, it was primarily for connection to the device. We have a fuse-block (showchrome) wired to a dual usb...

    Anyone installed the Afterburner tail-light mod?

    Yes, we installed them on our 2020 RT's prior to riding them... Short version, we bought the RT'S, moved, had to get the 3 wheel cert after delivery (long process in WA), while renting and searching for house (overpriced in PNW). I did a bunch of upgrades to both of them and then rode as much as...

    I am wondering what brake disc to use.

    We received the floating rotors from MTV for our RT's and will try to get them mounted this weekend, ride review to follow weather permitting. Not really sure why BRP doesn't have a floating rotor or floating caliper on the Spyders.

    Brake Performance of your bike?

    Received them today, great packing Martin! Thanks for the bubblegum and rub on tattoo! They look really good and I'm really hoping the issue will be resolved. I will probably have to install them next weekend as we are travelling to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving early next week, lot's of prep work...

    Brake Performance of your bike?

    No floating rotor or disk We've had issues on both our 2020 RT's with pulsing brakes, mine worse than my wife's. I replaced the disks and pads (with EBS), but the same problem soon followed. The RT's do not have floating rotors or floating calipers, which makes no sense to me. I really hate...

    I test rode a 2023 today!

    We tried the foam grips, they did eliminate some of the vibration but forced my hand in a position that aggravated the arthritis in both thumbs due to the additional thickness. I had to cut them off mid ride. We both use the cruise quite a bit to give us a bit of relief and do ride one handed...

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I have been riding for over 40 years, unfortunately I neglected to use ear protection for a good portion of that time. I will say that my "job" as a small engine mechanic in my early years as well as being a big concert goer (thank you Toni Iommi BS ) for hearing loss and tinnitus in every day...
