• 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.

Cell Phone Charger

Looking to take our second road trip this spring, we just stayed local on our first one. I was wondering if there is a way to run a cell phone charging cable up to the handle bars? I am looking to get an X grip etc. My Zumos worked well on the local trip but i dont know if I want to spend the money to update it. Thanks guys

on my RT-S I removed the temp and fuel gauges and installed a dual usb port on one side and a volt meter on the other. used the existing wiring.

I added a dual usb port to one of the speaker grilles, and a regular 12V outlet to the other speaker grille. I use them for the phone and the GPS. Wired so that it's powered with key on. Many have also replaced the analog gages as mentioned above.
 
You don't tell us year and model of Spyder. FWIW, if you wanted/needed to keep your gauges there is a wire harness connection behind the left side of the frunk on the '14 and later RTs (don't know about earlier RTs) for those who want a 12v cigarette or USB port in the frunk. You could run a cable from that connection point to wherever you desired in the vic of handlebars. Were I in your boots I'd do the voltmeter/USB replacement of the gauges, although with a 1330 engine I don't really see a need for a voltmeter.
 
Phone Charger

If you have a Battery Tender connection in your frunk, there is an accessory that you can use to charge your phone or GoPro.

My spyder is a 2013 RT Limited if that helps
