Bob: What are U Talking about????? Deanna
-
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.
Is the handling on the '14's really that bad? Opinions needed.

Don't encourage him to post even more than he already does! :yikes:
@ StanProff .
This is probably not a case of poor handling......much more likely is that a Spyder handles like nothing else and does take some getting used to.
(Apologies if this point has already been raised but it's tomorrow here and I'm ready for my bed......my teddy bear is all revved up
an' raring to go!!)

That's like trying to stop a freight train going over a cliff! not gonna happen. :roflblack:
Hey everyone,,, it looks like unless the '15 RT has a eye opening change (could be even electronics with the dash, or some other improvement i couldn't live without) I will wait for a deal to come along on the '14's.

This thread is too long to read through all the posts, so please forgive me if I'm repeating things already said.
I've had my 2014 RTS since Friday. I know. Three days is not much.
I did up my 2010 RTS with suspension mods. RonBar, Shocks, RonLinks. It was pretty good, and I was satisfied with the handling.
Tonight, on the way home from work I trashed the 2014 on the same roads I used to trash the 2010.
Let me clarify. I TRIED to trash the 2014.
It took everything in stride. There was no pucker factor on any of the roads.
I'm now convinced that the bone stock 2014 RTS handles better than the tricked out 2010.
So, at this point, I think I'll just get a set of RonLinks to enhance reliability.
I already have the Kumho on the rear.
Saturday I will have a laser alignment and then I'm good to go !
As always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.

I've been riding for 58 years and there are no perfect motorcycles. I loved my 1950 Whizzer in spite of all of it's shortcomings. My favorite motorcycle was my Excelsior Henderson and it required $2000 worth of work right out of the box to make it driveable. I had an 08 RS that was a blast to drive and a blast of heat on my legs even after all of the Spyderpops mods. My 2014 is as near perfect an out of the box bike as I've ever had, equally as good as my 105th anniversary Road King. I admit the handling was horrible with the 5 pounds of pressure in the front tires it was delivered with! Now all I have left to do is light it up like a fireworks display to get the attention of texting drivers!

Good Point! After all, just what are they comparing their NEW Spyder to If they have never owned a spyder? Are they expecting the handling to be like a sports car? pickup truck? family car? motorcycle? All of these are driven a little differently, this includes the Spyder.

Had elkas on my 2011 and was happy with the cornering. Since I was used to that feel the 2014 felt a little loose so had elkas put on it also. No rock solid in corners for me. My choice my preference. I do not knock anyone else's choice in how they ride.
