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.

This keeps going and its going to be spyderfest Houston. Lets set a date. Would prefer sooner to later and the holidays are coming. With this many, it will take more than one day. I can be available on a Friday afternoon if we wanted to go that route in planning. Sat or Sun works for me too.

How about next weekend Saturday the 9th if it will work for Charlene? I can begin at 8:00 am and work until all are done.

The next weekend, 15-17, would be better for me; just say'n. And might give others more time to plan ahead?
The 9th is our 22nd anniversary and we'll be out of town...on the Spyder no less
If that turns out to be the date, then I'll just catch the next one.

If you want to use that weekend, Harvey is going to be in my place (Memphis). Good reason to ride!:doorag:
But Hot Springs is probably a bit closer... pleanty of choices!:thumbup:

If it isn't broke, I'm not fixing it. LOL! Ergo, if I start to see any strange or abnormal tire wear or it develops handling problems THEN I'll get it checked but not before.
Your alignment issues may be due to the touring models being heavier, I notice most of ya'll lining up for alignments appear to have the touring models not the sport models.... idk. :dontknow:
Thanks for elaborating though, and I will be checking my tire wear as the mileage goes higher. Regards SirWilli!

That's right, if it is not broke don't fix it! That's why we don't charge anything if it is within specs.
With that said, we have found only a couple Spyders that were not either crabbing or toed out real bad. The funny part is they are usually fairly new with low miles and the rider had no idea that it was that bad as they grew used to the way it rode.
All models have the same problems as this the only way to get the front wheels to track with the rear wheel.

I had to replace my front tires at 10k miles they were very worn on the inside. I guess i've gotten use to the way it rides because i don't feel it pulls to the left or right, but i know it needs an alignment because of the uneven tread wear.

hey harvey, are you bringing along other goodies, i.e. (sway bars )???? Or is the day strictly for alignments?

Harvey, mine seemed to handle perfectly fine from the get-go (it had 880 miles on it when I bought it used this summer) and the tire tread still looks brand new at ~3K miles... so what are the signs to look for, other than crabbing and/or strange tire tread wear? Is this just a set up issue from the factory/dealer that they aren't in proper alignment right off the dealer's lot?
I've read postings on this site among others by people who have claimed their tires were totally wearing out with less than 5K miles on them... I presume these are the factory/dealer mis-aligned Spyders?
I'm on the north side of Houston, a little out from the Kingwood area... I do NOT like driving thru Houston even in my large dually pickup truck MUCH less on the Spyder so it's probably unlikely this laser alignment will be offered in my neck of the woods. But there is a good sized Spyder club in Conroe I'm told, which is also north of Houston...
Thanks.
