• 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.

Laser Alignment in North Texas

Takes him about 45min, so eight to ten maybe. He'll have to spend the night somewhere near there, sure he would be willing to work late or early either way. He seems to be very flexible.

Im going on the Tyler ride tomorrow, I can mention it and have more wanting it done. There are 18 signed up for the ride but most have already done it.

My wife is wanting to do some Bobby Fley Cuban Pulled Pork tacos and some fixins. There will also be other Spyders folks dropping by to visit.
 
Just got off the phone with Mike. He has done up to 15 in a day and said if the number grows we can bring in another specialist like Squared Away or Spyderpops. Ann said earlier that they would not be able to come till July though. Its still early, lets see how it unfolds.
 
Mike uses the Rolo System, also known as the outlaw system. He also uses the factory Bud system to re program the computer telling it that it is the proper alingment so it will not go into limp mode.
I just called him to confirm that so I know first hand.
I also got another guy today that is going to get it done.

I will stop actively trying to get more people on but anyone else that need an alignment can still get on the list. (but not many more) Ill also invite any Spyder friends that want to drop by for awhile and say hi. PM me for info.

Im always up for a ride and some BBQ. If Sarah is up for riding, since her surgery. If not we will drive up and meet everyone. Ill let you know when we get closer. Just put her new backrest and exhaust on. Maybe that will encourage her to get better and start riding again.

Thanks for the update Shane. I was wondering yesterday how she was doing. Did you get your bike fixed?

I also remember him saying he does not do anything to the rear wheel. everything is lined up to where the rear wheel is pointing at the time, So if you need to do any final adjustments like belt alignment and tension, Id do it first. I was going to check mine again before he comes. if anyone need help with that, call me or mike to discuss.
 
I would love to pop in, but wouldn't be able to get there til 5pm or so. Will it still be going on? I'm a fairly new Spyder owner <1000 miles on my 2016 RT, so I would love to chat with other owners and see what farckle might be in my future.

The Party will be all day. You are welcome to drop by. We will be just hanging out, Spyders coming and going. Ill try to organize some but well try to make it a fun day. Shoot me a PM and ill give you the info. No alcohol though.
 
I will give everyone getting an alignment some sort of order so they can plan a time to get here. I dont expect everyone to hang out all day.

Yep, bikes all fixed. Haven't ridden it though but I've replaced the same seal before and I'm confident it will hold up. I installed her new backrest and pipe while she was healing up. Use it as a motivational piece to get her back on the bike.

Good to know on the rear tire and belt tension. Considering installing smothspyder belt tensioner. Anyone going have the Triaxis bars on a RT? Would like to sit on one before taking on the install.

In relation to an alignment, the front wheels will be aligned to where ever the rear wheel is pointed so if you feel the belt needs alignment, id take care of that first. The tention is something that needs to be looked at but not critical to the alignment. I am no expert on it so if you have any questions, call Mike to discuss. Im sure he can help you with any additional work you may need. I have the tools but I have never done it. Seen the video and have a kricket II, jacks and torque wrenches. It does not look hard, and I may tweek mine some but as of now my belt is where it needs to be according to the conversation I had with Mike. He said he likes the space between the belt and the sprocket to be somewhere between a credit card and a business card gap. Thats about where mine is now. according to the Kricket, my tension is 220 pounds. I an thinking of adding a smooth Spyder tentioner at some point though.
 
As far as contributions for the food, I will not require any. If anyone wants to bring food, drinks ect that is up to them if they feel so inclined. If we start running low, we have stores nearby and plenty of folks that would want to take a field trip to scope out the area. I wouldnt rule out an impromptu RYde just to get out. Greenville also has Louis Powersports if anyone needs to visit a Spyder dealer for any reason.

Just a reminder to all those scheduled for a laser alignment, its this Saturday. Anyone else wanting one can still get on the schedule can text me or call me. at 972-754-6692. I don't always answer my phone so a text sometimes works better. I constantly get spam calls and ignore some calls that I do not recognize. It looks like it will be a nice sized crowd, around 25 or more.
Thanks,
Bill
