• 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.

How do you mount your phone to the Spyder?

I have an F3 went, cheap, secure, convenient, simple, fast dismount if rain starts. Don't over think , popsocket

Tackform mount from Dave. 100%! I just wrote a review and posted :) BTW on RT you can get a really nice curved mounting bar (i think from lamonster.com?) for $50 that bolts to the two bolts on the upper dash, to mount RAM ball stuff to. This was one of the first things I got, GPS, phone, dash cam all there. Comes with couple 1" RAM balls that screw in it. Then you get the clamps on Amazon in the length you need (usually 4" works for me).

Thanks for the info.. Could you provide a link to that curved mounting bar? I tried to look on-line on Lamonstergarage, (only phone) and I am not seeing it there). Also could you provide me a link to your review if possibile of the other mount?

Thanks.
 
I have a 2011 RT Spyder and I am wondering for those who do, where do you mount your phone on the bike? The handlebars on the Spyder are huge and none of the motorcycle mounts I've used in the past to mount phones to the handlebar will fit. Is there some special mount that you guys use for the handlebar or do you use some other methods? Can you buy such mounts on Amazon or eBay?

Thanks for your insights!

I have a new 2018 RTL. I installed a techmount made specifically for the spyder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HKPY8L0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this phone holder also made by techmount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M063RC0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I ran a usb cable from the frunk to the mount (came out the switch cover plate next to the fog light switch. This works great. I use the brp system, but have control of the phone and can get my xm radio, look at my weather radar app and do most everything but still go back to the brp system where I left off. Kind of have the best of both worlds.
