• 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.

Aerocharger turbo kit

I just need to know if anyone out there has the Aerocharger turbo charger kit on their Spyder. I sure would like to get one, I'm just wondering if its worth the 5k retail price. Plz let me know.
 
Why...?

Where do you have to go that fast..106 hp's on a 800 lb+/- bike seen them doing 180 mph+ box stock..turbo just seems like over kill. Get a sticker and tell people you have all that and spend the 5k on traveling...:roflblack: the highways..ryde safe and you will get where your going.
 
Has anyone put int on a RT yet? I am more interesting in improving acceleraton than I am in top speed but I would mind breaking 100 now and then. I got caught passing a truck when some one turned into the oncoming lane. I gunned it but was disappointed in the acceleration. Obvious I made it but it was due to the other driver moving over.
 
$5K?? :yikes: go NOS... cheaper.

Doubtful, a liter bike weighing half as much maybe. Or perhaps it was 180kph. I believe Can Am has electronically limited them to about 110mph.

Why do cars have to go over the speed limit, Why are there big gulps when a regular size will do, its JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.

I have ridden Doc's Spyder. Its WORTH the price......................
 
There are opinions on both sides of the fence on this one.

If you look through older threads about turbochargers, there seem to be issues with the turbo interferring with the efi and limp mode stuff on the :spyder2:,s. There are also a few people who have had engines blown. I believe that the jury is out as to whether or not the turbo was the cause.

I am not a fan of the turbo, but I am not a must have speed person either.

Why???

Why drive a corvette when a Yugo can get you there too.
Why have a steak instead of some cheap meat.
Why go to fine diner instead of Denny's.

I don't wanna ride at 100 mph but I do wanna get to 65 quickly...
Spyder is not exactly a crotch rocket and was not meant to be one. Just because you don't need it, it's not a good mod or overkill????????? I don't consider highway pegs or high handlebars waste of money because I don't want them...

Every ryder have different needs and wants.

I agree except for one item; I consider the 0-60 time for a GS/RS pretty good considering that it's in the 4 secs., where most cars aren't.
 
i'm all more about the acceleration rather than top speed it's about one stop light to the next, especially when you have some "douche" next to you on a harley or some crotch rocket, I have respect for all on the "open road" but when respect is not shown my way just because i'm on a Spyder, then the only way i'm gonna get that respect is by servin' them a healthy dose of road dust!:thumbup:
 
:shocked: That one could get your lights punched out if you say it in the wrong company... :shocked:
But I LIKE it!! :thumbup: :roflblack:
