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 checked and didn't see the link for any sound clips. Do you have a link for that?
I heard the Hindle in person last weekend and it sounded very impressive! It's not too loud and has some deep exhaust notes. Much better then stock!

You are going to be seeing a lot more aftermarket exhausts, etc. that will be carrying this disclaimer; "For race use only". "Motorcycle Consumer News" (MCN) had an article about this in their current issue (Volume 39 Number 4) ... by-the-way, I highly recommend this "100% Subscriber Supported" magazine .. (www.mcnews.com).
Back to the article. It said that CARB (The California Air Resources Board) recently fined Dynojet Research, Inc one million dollars since their Power Commander did not meet CARB standards. Dynojet will now have two types of their Commanders: one listed "For Race Use Only" and one that is CARB-compliant which eliminates changes to the ignition and mapping at lowwer rpm which is the area where emissions are normally tested.
As you know, in environmental matters ... how goes California, the rest of the nation eventually catches up!! The writer of the article predicts that all aftermarket suppliers of any product that may or may not effect emissions will ultimately have to match more stringent standards. He further predicted that the next category that will be looked at very hard by CARB will be the aftermarket exhaust manufacturers.
In my own opinion, I think the truth of why Hindle took so long getting their exhaust to market was because of this problem. There is no question in my mind as to why they have labeled their exhaust for closed-course racing only.
Not sure how this will affect Spyder owners in California who purchase the Hindle and then have to get their emission test completed?
In addition to the above, in the same magazine there was also an article about factory warranties; "Reading The Fine Print". Under the heading: "Shades Of Gray" the point was made as follows: "For example, if your bike has a slilp-on pipe, some frame sliders, and you do the occasional track day, any issue that might arise will probably be covered under warranty. If you have a full race exhaust system with Power Comander, safety wiring, and scuffed wheels from lots of tire changes, you may find yourself without warranty support." It is the "gray" area that no conclusion was offered as to what may occur if one has an aftermarket product listed "for race use only" being used for street riding.
It just sounds like to me that due to fear of litigation, the manufacturers of aftermarket products that effect performance that would in turn effect emissions will err on the side of caution in the marketing and labeling of their products.
Perhaps Ken at Evoluzione will chime in on whata all of this may mean to us down the road?

Probably research for compatibility and others more due to ceramic coatings and use of titanium/aluminium

I put the hindle exhaust on Friday. My Spyder is cooler, sounds so much better-it is awesome ! The list price $599.00, however dealer gave me big discount-just ask ! I also have started other modifications, seat cover, knee pads, and finally the riser is on. I am happy with all.

I bet it looks and sounds great. :bigthumbsup: Do you have a picture of the bag you bought in Daytona mounted on the Spyder? My friend Ron is kicking himself for not buying that one you had there. He can't find it any cheaper anywhere. You did good. :doorag: :spyder:
