• 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.

Bought the Demo Model

:congrats:on your new 14RT-S, and welcome to the 1330ACE CLUB, you made an excellent choice. Enjoy it!
Mine was plane looking until I started to do some farkling.


I first spyder was a 2012RTS-SE5, then I upgraded to a 2014RTS-SE6. I am having fun with it.

I got my 2014 three weeks ago. It's been cold so I've only put around 200 miles in it but I love it. I had a 2012 before and this is a far better ride. Glad you are enjoying your Spyder.

Not sure about the Farkles yet. I have the driver backrest on order and it should be here next week. I've got my iPod working so that's good. Beyond that I will wait awhile until I get used to her and how she handles. My first item will likely be a cover of some sort. And a GPS mount. I saw a few threads about both on SL so I will go look for them. The seat may be next but I want to get used to it first to see if I can live with it. I'm a tall guy (36" inseam) so I'm not sure if I will want a bit more legroom. We shall see.
The ComfortSeat on the 2014 really IS more comfortable, and it will give you 2 inches more leg room. If you are thinking about the ComfortSeat, make sure the backrest that you ordered will fit it before you install it on the stock seat. (I don't know if they are interchangeable or not.)
 
Black Betty

Black Betty is a perfect name for your new ride. I'm only a few months ahead of you in Spyder ownership (2014 RT-S), and I remember the first couple of days on mine, and the smile she produced. As everyone here has said, you will love the Spyder even more and more as you ride it. We're still smiling even after the first 6 months.
 
Not much room

Rob, I had my girlfriend sit on the RT with the stock seat and then figured two inches less for the passenger. When you add the backrest, it looked like the passenger would be pretty squeezed. I want her to be comfortable as well. If anyone has experience with a passenger and is using the comfort seatm(or Ultimate Tall Boy with a backrest), I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. For my legroom I would consider highway pegs. A cheaper alternative to the seat replacement for sure.

I have the tall boy with the back rest. Wife is 5'2 and. 115lbs and she has plenty of room. The back rest made a huge difference for me for longer rides and just around town.
