• 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.

    Are these Tires too old?

    I’d be changing them ASAP. I really prefer the Kenda Kanines. I’ve got 10k miles on mine & am probably good for at least another 10K. I’m not a fan of car tires… but that’s a debate I won’t get into.

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What do do? Anybody made theirs better?

    I have a 2014 RT & did the whole route of seat pads and even tried the special padded underwear. I ended up going with an Ultimate Tall Boy seat, which also gave me an additional 3” of leg room. I’ve had a Corbin, a Day Long, & a locally made custom seat, & the Ultimate was the best choice for...

    How does this Seat Strut that came with an Ultimate Seat work?

    I have a 2014 with an Ultimate Seat. The only difference in the mount is the seat has an L bracket for the end attached to the seat. I replaced my stock shock with a Show Chrome shock. I don’t recall but I may have used the C clamp from the stock shock. Here’s the install video from Show Chrome

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I replaced the under seat & rear trunk shocks with the Show Chrome upgraded struts. My wife said if I didn’t replace the trunk strut she was filing for divorce.:rolleyes:

    Review of Ultimate Seat

    The driver's seat doesn’t seem to be any higher because you sit in it, not on it, but the passenger seat is definitely a bit higher and sits back a bit. I had to raise her foot pegs quite a bit. The seat is a bit wider, but it works well for me. At your height, I wouldn’t get the Tall Boy...

    Review of Ultimate Seat

    I have never written a review on any product but buying a seat from Ultimate Seats warrants an excellent review. I have owned two Corbin seats and a locally made custom seat for my Harleys in the past and I don’t recall them being as comfortable as quickly. The quality is exceptional and unlike...

    What CarPlay compatible app are you using to plan your routes?

    I use Scenic, not only for the Spyder but also the car. It has a bit of a learning curve but I like the 4 options you have for initially planning a route. The guys I ride with all use it so we can trade routes plus when I ride with someone else who’s lead I can record the route he’s running...

    Anyone done a Cat Delete leaving stock muffler on?

    I also run the Baldwin Iron Works Pipe, stock muffler & no baffles. I used JB Weld Muffler Seal on all joints & wrapped from the manifold to the muffler with titanium wrap. It’s just a little louder than stock. I don’t notice any difference in torque and get about 40 MPG.

    What iPhone phone app do you use to plan & track your trips?

    I use Scenic. More than half of our club also use it so we can trade trips. I tried most of them and for my purposes it was the best.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    After a rear ended collision in my car on Christmas Eve I decided to get a dash cam for the car once I get it back and one for the Trike. I installed a Tenbaba dash cam with Apple CarPlay and GPS.

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    I quit riding about 3 years ago when I laid my HD Ultra down & couldn’t pick it back up. I had both hips replaced soon after that, so I sold it & just quit riding. One year ago, almost to the day, my wife & I were having dinner at a friend's & he told my wife to check out his new toy. He had...

    Advice on mobile phone placement, what would work?

    I use a Trackform Center Mount on my 2014 Spyder. I have a friend that used a handlebar mount on the bar itself & made a hard turn to dodge a pothole and the phone went flying. I did remove my Garmin GPS but I really didn’t like using it anyway...

We’re all older riders and really...

    Anybody have LED Accent Under Body Lighting?? Is there a kit?

    I bought a 12 pc kit made by Dark Eagle on Amazon. I ran them straight down the middle on the center brace & 2 on the steering arms on the front wheels. I normally run them on white which has a light blue tint. Pretty easy to do. Here they are in blue but I was parked in a lot. Guys in my area...

    Want to make it easier to remove the bugs - what wax should be used, if at all?

    I’ve tried a lot of different products but in the end, I have gone back to the old tried & true things I have used for years. Aside from an occasional claying, I use Meguiar's Flagship Premium Marine Wax for my base wax & Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer to remove the bugs & to spruce it up...

    Thinking of moving to The Villages in FL - Any Spyder Service places nearby?

    I’m in The Villages. As Tango said, Seminole powersports is excellent. We also have Lucky U who is building a new facility & is going to start service on Spyders. Their service manager is one of the best motorcycle mechanics around central Florida. They’ve already started an oil change service...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Added Baldwin Cat Delete Pipe Things have started heating up in Florida, so I finally bit the bullet & replaced my Cat with a Baldwin Ironworks bypass pipe. Cooled things down considerably and really didn’t make it much louder. I decided to go with the baffle & end-plug and work my way down...

    I’m old school…..still love my chrome. That’ s not to say I haven’t seen quite a few blacked out bikes that catch my eye.

    Looking at Running/Fog Lights - Which do you recommend? Which LED & Fog Light kit?

    I can’t give you a comparison but I have the Slingmods & couldn’t be happier. My thoughts are they really can’t be much different.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    A 2 day project for Aesthetics & Safety After leaving the house one night my wife commented that I need more lights, especially side lighting. I already changed the headlamps & fog lamps to LED. I added undercarriage lights (which I leave on white although they look blue in the photos) and...
