• 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.

For tying down on a trailer

THIS ITEM

I have a pair of SpyderClamps to carry my F3T on a trailer. But they don't make them any more. I ran across these (below) in a motorcycle magazine's ad section. If I was needing something like SpyderClamps now, I'd go for these:

Black Gray wheel chocks http://www.blackandgray.com/products/aluminum-wheel-chocks/8-front-aluminum-wheel-chock.html
and ONLY $ 168 .95 .......EACH , plus the thing for the rear wheel - so this set-up is $ 466.00 +/- and you have the tie-downs yet ..... MY wheel chocks were made from scrap wood and a $10.00 heavy duty Rachet strap ....You can see mine on my Album page ....... Thanks Patti , but I'll pass on this...... Mike :thumbup:
 
Good to know....

Look very nice and quality work but pricy.. but if you can't make them it is a very nice addition to your trailer and will up the value to any one interested in a spyder ready trailer...:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I agree with Mike. I used some scrap 4X4's and an old wheel chock I had laying around, although I did spend more than $10 for straps. Towed the Spyder from South Carolina to Texas and back with a couple of sudden stops. No problems.

My wife and I drove to New York to pick up our Spyder and brought it home on a utility trailer. I tied it down just as described in the Spyder manual. I also had four 2x4's about a foot long that I placed on the out side edge of each front tire and on both sides of the back tire. I screwed them to the deck with some heavy deck screws, not lag bolts, with my drill. Our Spyder made the 1000+ mile trip home without so much as a hiccup.

May not be as fancy as the ones shown but I saved enough to pay for our first year of insurance by not buying something like those!:yes:
