• 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.

Just added Ron's beefed up ultimate sway bar to the new-to-me 2014 RT (with 15k). The difference in handling, just like adding his product to my previous RS, is amazing. Thanks for the support for Spyders, Mr. Baja. Your products are much appreciated!

* Leave Thursday am on the ride from Wisconsin down into Central Texas and wherever the wind blows us (4 buddies) for 11 days. 11th Memorial Ride since my wife passed in June of 2014. Reports now and then from the road. Ride safe everyone!

If you have not yet installed Vredestein Quatrac SL tires, that takes the Spyder the next step in handling improvement.
 
Pssst, don't put the SL designation on the Quatracs - people on here get real emotional about it. 😬 LOL

Nobody liked my suggestion that the SL designation was for a Spyder Lovers edition of Quatrac's.
Other than the fact that there is no Vredestein Quatrac SL (They are just Vredestein ⁰Quatrac), it's not a big deal. Tires have several parameters that they pigeon hole into, as you can see below. SL load range stands for 'Standard Load'. All Vredestein Quatrac tires fall into this category.

So, you could just as easily say Vredestein Quatrac Black Wall, or 91, or V, etc. But all of the Quatrac sizes will also have these same designators. So the manufacturer doesn't include these designators in the name. Though this doesn't mean that a particular vendor might not throw something like 'SL' at the end to make you think they are selling you something special. Marketing can take many forms. Not all of them are honest.

Brand: Vredestein
Style: Quatrac
Size: 205/60R15
Load Index: 91
Speed Index: V
Load Range: SL
Ply Rating: 4
UTQG: 400AA
Sidewall: Black Wall

I hope to run the kenda's off this one quickly. I had Vredestein's on my RS, the couple I bought this from at season end last fall had just put on new kendas (Ick). I'm hoping they are some improved from the ones shipped on the RS in 2010. Will change out all when I wear out the rear tire.
