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.

As, everyone has stated these are expensive!! But, they are well worth the investment. I have had mine on now for 11,000+ miles and the ride is still excellant. Those that live in California can attest to the bumps on some freeways, that just bounce the daylites out of you. With these shocks, you don't even feel them. The studder bumps on the interstates that are suppose to wake you up, if you drift to far out of your lane. You don't feel those either. You can hear tires going over them, but you don't feel a thing. I can also tell you that they do reduce some of the vibration in the mirrors. They significantly reduce the roll of the bike when going through the turns and twisties.
IMHO: The qaulity of this product, and the benefits they give the ride, are well worth the price.

. . . . Blackjack. No wonder you are waiting for $ .
Anyway, don't you have enough stuff in your signature already?!?!
But, getting back on topic, I was wondering if getting a swaybar would be the thing to do first or shocks.
Tom
I would get the swaybar first---- something you're gonna want anyway.
I could get the $$$ quicker playing blackjack--- but I keep letting my day job get in the way----
Also--- as sharp as these are-- and I REALLY want them---- now I'm thinking that $$$ might just need to go towards an Aerocharger-----

Just another update.
I went on about a 300 mile ride on Saturday and one of the first things I really noticed was how great the Spyder was tracking on the highway. I did a couple of high speed runs and the Spyder acted as if it was on rails. I expected it to help in the turns but had no idea it would make such a difference in the straight aways too.
After riding Deals Gap I noticed the vss was a little more forgiving too. All in all it is one of the best mods to date on my Spyder. nojoke

:shemademe_smilie: I love having a motor head for a wife who talked me into investing in some 'canyon burning enhancements' for our RT. Our local Can Am dealer, Waterworld, in Medford, Oregon, became an Elka dealer so as to serve his Spyder Ryders even better. . . . and we now have a set of the Lmonster specials sitting on the work bench ready to install. On the day I was going to put them on, the sun came out, the clouds parted, and the Cat said 'we're going for a ride'. Maybe next week?

I would love to pick up a set, but damn thats some serious coin. I will probably finish all my little mods I wanna do and then save up for these. And if I am gonna spend the money on em, I might as well buy the best, right? Any ideas how the system would react to having the air ride in the back with the elkas on the front?
