• 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.

A preview of my spyder transformation

After that 'sticky' install of your new grips, I didn't think you needed a Throttle Boss, just one of those drag parachutes to deploy to slow you down. :D

Now, now, Tom--let's keep this thread about vtrider's mods!

(Man, a guy squirts a few too many ounces of adhesive around the garage and nobody lets him forget it...)
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm still waiting for a couple more additions to complete most of my upgrade. Today I'm having a new Kuhmo rear tire installed at my dealer. I'll post more pics once everything is done.
 
:2thumbs: Very nice, now it's time to get together again and do some riding. I will be doing the americade loop at the end of the month, are you interested. I will be checking out gas stops, routing, and a restaurant.

I don't think I can take time off for the end of the month, which is this weekend. I've been busy and working weekends. I do however plan on ging to the Americade maybe for at least one day maybe two. Where are you guys staying again? Keep me posted on any plans.
 
Well, It was a sunny cold day here in the north after a rainy and snowy weekend in some places. I was however in the mood for a nice ride after work, so I dressed warm and headed north to the mountains for a nice cruise to Jay Vermont. I wanted to take pictures of my final upgrades which I completed for this year and thought that some snowy backdrops for the pics in the month of May would be something that is unusual, even here in Vermont and something that I would certainly remember. Anyhow here are some of the pictures that I took late yesterday of my spyder in the mountains.

These are the picures of my new smuggler trunk with the passenger seat section removed and shown along with my other addons that were shown earlier in this post. With this setup, If I need to take a passenger I will just take the trunk off and pop in the seat and backrest for the passenger. So far I'm real happy with my upgrade. It's real comfortable and convenient for me. In my next phase, which will maybe be next spring, I plan to add an AM/FM receiver and a GPS system.
