• 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.

Anonymous Donates so Original Grip Buddies Can Become a Sponsor

I posted this on the other thread - I am not a sponsor here nor selling anything but apparently have been a very willing patron of a few in the few short weeks I have been here - and soon to add a few more patronages to my list of those I bought from ;)

Take the general debate off this board including the rebuttals and angel donor remarks, please. This is not the place and our "general user" opinions and "taking sides" either way is not relevant. It is a great market place for all things :spyder:. The board is what it is and the rules are what the owner has deemed them to be and we all agree to that when we sign on. I appreciate the costs of running these boards and there has to be some guidelines.

In the end, SpyderLovers is a very unique place that we as enthusiasts are lucky to have with really great people. Prefer we keep it that way for my $$.

Thanks.
 
Well I ordered your grips on the 25th and you shipped on the 26th and I am anxiously waiting there arrival. But I did get my Ultimate seat today. come on weather give me a break.
 
Wow! Lots to digest here. But to echo others, this is a great site with wonderful caring people willing to help when the need arises. It may seem that Lamont rules with an iron fist (well, at least riding glove clad) but this is his baby and I for one support him 100%
 
Well... My .02 is that once it was brought to light that a sponsorship was required in order to sell products out here....the person promoting his items should have ceased to do so and removed any posts doing such promotions...until he was approved and signed up.

That would only be respectful and fair to Lamont and the other vendors that have already paid their fair share.

My .02.
No tax.
No shipping.
No refunds. ;-)

Quick shipping also. Thanks
 
Brief Announcement:

Just wanted to thank everyone for being so supportive here on Spyderlovers. I was able to get some artwork and my paypal payment to Lamonster within the last 48 hours so that now I am an:

Official Spyderlovers.com Sponsor

We will be sprucing up the artwork so that my products offered are very clearly depicted, and I will be doing some thinking while up at Americade as to how best to assist folks on this board with their bikes. I wanted to let people know that I do offer FREE SHIPPING on my website when you order a set of my Original Grip Buddies for your bike.

Again, thanks for all the support and encouragement from folks (and benefactors) here on the board, and I look forward to getting to know everyone as we move forward.

Congratulations Dave!!!!!! Awesome...............totally awesome! and to the person who was so generous......:bowdown:
 
Got mine in today. I installed them and was totally impressed by the clarity of the instructions. I have bought other products from vendors here where the instructions pretty much said "refer to owners manual" or "go on line to www. XXXX". That is pretty weak in my opinion. These grips looke nice, install easy and I am sure they will work well, although I have not had a chance to try them
 
Way to go...Lamont runs a professional board...much better than the average board. It takes not only money, but a lot of hard work to satisfy the population. I respect him for what he does...the average person wouldn't put up with all the crap...:clap:
 
My Original Grip Buddies arrived in the mail today. Put my back out yesterday lugging dog show stuff. So, it may be a few days before I can write a review. They sure came fast!!!! Look just like they do in the videos on the vendor site. I'm sure installation will be smooth! And I bet they are going to help with my throttle hand fatigue!!
 
easy to install, very comfortable, i think i will order some for my lawn mower, my rake, my hoe, my hammer, endless applications, ahh the mind wanders when crusin' on the spyder:ohyea:
 
My grips came Friday, I put them on later in the day, and very easy to install and felt good. I went riding with them on Saturday for about 100 miles and the knuckles in my hand were cramping (they never cramped before without them). I went riding again today with them on and once again my knuckles in both hands cramped again,I finally took the, off after about 80 miles and no more cramping. So I guess I will ride without them. I do think they are a nice product and install easily and feel cushy, but my hands say no.
