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.
Anyone Guess what this hole is for? 2021 RT...

Show us a picture from farther back so we can see where on the bike this is.
Maybe for aftermarket lighting on passenger foot pegs
I'm sorry, but given that we have absofreakinlutely NO idea of where it might be....
without any other info &/or further context, it could be that it's a drain in one of the splash trays underneath the bike, only the rubber insert bit has come out?? :banghead:We need more context - where on the Spyder is it?? Is it even on a Spyder, or maybe it's on/in another bike?? Is it in an upper panel or a side panel?? Inside the frunk maybe?? Up near the Handlebars or down the back near the license plate?? :dontknow: :gaah:

I still can't tell where it's located, but I can tell you it's not a factory hole. See the burrs around the perimeter. It was drilled, not formed when the panel was made.

Sorry Skip, if you can't help us by taking a step back and taking another picture to post up here, I doubt we'll really be able to be of much help!! :banghead: You need to help us a bit so that we can help you!!
As for your pic turning sideways, that's most likely because you took it in Portrait Mode on your phone or camera - the Forum software doesn't like that and won't handle them well at all - you need to take any pic intended for the Forum in Landscape Mode, and you need to get into Landscape Mode by dropping the Top of the Phone/camera to the Left, turning the Phone/camera 90° anti-clockwise! Do that, then when uploaded here it should post in the correct orientation! :thumbup:

I have the exact same year and model as you. As someone else stated. That hole is not factory drilled. The area under the passenger footrests has no pre-drilled holes in it. Whoever owned that Spyder prior to you drilled that. IMHO, quite unnecessary I'd say.

I have to agree with Valkrocket, not an OEM hole! Ask the person who you purchased it from.
My guess would be the previous owner was planning to install a light and needed a hole to run the wire through.

Ah Guys, Not a real mechanic in the replies.
Has anyone removed that pod plastic on the left side of the rear wheel?
You know, the 3 screws that holds them on, especially the front screw?
Well, that screw is a bastard to reach and remove AND replace. I changed the front one over to 10 mm bolt
which it made it somewhat easier to get out, but I still had to stand on my head to get it out while working on the floor.
This 80 year old mind finally turned on the light bulb and sez "if you drill a hole right here, you can reach that bolt easily".
So I did and that's the end of that problem.
