• 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.

Garmen 590 GPS and OEM bracket install

Buying my first Spyder!!!!

Hello everyone. I will be putting a down payment on a 2015 RTS SE6 :spyder: later on today as my first Spyder.

I plan on purchasing the GPS and stock mount and installing both myself to save some money on labor. I've been searching the threads with no luck on what is involved to do this but imagine it's not too complicated.

From what I have already read, it sounds as though service manuals must be in electronic form and only available to the dealerships and not the general public.

I've been in a wheelchair for a little over 22 years so will also be installing the ISCI hand brake. I was able to test ride an RT Limited with this installed at Central Florida Powersports (thanks Albert in sales!) and have read nothing but good reviews from everyone that has had the opportunity to use it. I plan on buying a Freedom trailer to carry my wheelchair. I was able to verify in person that my chair will fit in the RT-622 but haven't seen a Freedom trailer in person and have only found exterior measurements online. Does anyone know the internal measurements?

I have been researching and saving for the last couple of years and can't wait to hit the road. I live on the east side of Orlando Florida and plan on driving to Key West with my wife as our first good distance trip.

I will post pics once it is delivered.

If anyone has any advice or tips all will be greatly appreciated. A little nervous about the money I'm about to spend but think it will be a lot of fun. It's been too long since I've been on and owned my own bike.

I have also bought from Albert at CFP. I live in Oviedo. Enjoy the ride.
 
Regarding the Zumo mount I believe the instructions come with the mount but am not certain as the dealer instaled mine.

Nope. They're freely available for purchase online. Do a search here for "service manuals" and there are plenty of threads discussing it.

They are in electronic form and are generally $20 to $30. Very reasonable.
 
Welcome

Welcome from Central Washington and glad you have made the plunge. You will enjoy being out in the air on you Spyder. We have a Brother in my Blue Knights chapter who was shot in a traffic stop and paralyzed from waist down who rides with us on a Harley trike. Enjoy the ride and Stay SAFE.
 
green manuals

go online to Green manuals and for 20 or 30 dollars you can download to your computer.
congrats on your new Spyder:congrats:
 
It's a bit of a job to run the GPS cable through the handle bar center.
You have to remove all the panels on the right side and the right front headlight to get at the area.
