• 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.

I just purchased my spyder and there is alot of hot air blowing on my legs from the engine. Is this normal?
 
Hi, I am in Bentonville, call me if you want to discuss the heat and potential remedies. Its normal when its 95 outside, but there are options. Gary 479-657-6695

Same here. I have read about this before, but had no idea how hot it could really be. I felt it on both sides of my Spyder and thats at cruising speeds of 60 to 75mph. Probably my own fault for having shorts on, but it was burning the sides of my calves like crazy. If there is a way to minimize this, I would like to know.

Shorts and the Spyder definitely do not go well together. Boots and jeans will help quite a bit. There are several mod options available to address the hot air, but I have not yet had a need for them.
 
Shorts and any kind of open vehicle do not go together. Can you spell "R-O-A-D R-A-S-H"? :lecturef_smilie:

I agree with you. That is not my normal PPE. But at the time I didnt have a choice in garb and it was 210 mile trip home!!

I think I will give the missing air-dam a try. We have been in the 100's in Texas for almost a month now and I have noticed that I run around 5 bars. To drop a bar or two would be nice.
