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.
M2 Spyder shocks.

I sure hope not. I believe, from other people AND their warranty shop that they did get a batch of poor seals. Well I have had to have both of my fronts re-done about 1 year apart and I hope I am through with the problem. I still am happy with the performance.

This is what I received from Marcus I asked him about this question. Thanks for the email. Honestly, I expect no issues with “seals blown”. We dyno test the shocks with about a total 2000 stroke cycles. Seals on a shock are like piston rings in a motor…they work best when they are broken in. We have arguable have the best reputation in the industry on that literally was just writing about this on my FB Page. https://www.facebook.com/marcus.mcbain/posts/10222406834103110
I can’t change anything about rocks hitting a shock shaft, but other than our prototypes (which we used a vendor that was ultimately “turned down” and that was only 12 sets), we have not had any issues up to this point.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marcus McBain

I have just over a year and 10k + miles on my M2 Shocks.
5 days a week I do a 66 mile round trip, high speed commute over the 3rd World washboard that passes for canyon roads out here in SoCal.
If anyone was going to lose a seal, it would be me. (and I hope I didn't just jinx myself!)
The complaints about blown seals is what steered me away from the Elka's.
No complaints about the M2 Shocks, worth the price. And the wait.

I finally got my M2 shocks up and going on my F3-S. These shocks really help the spyder hug the road. I'm really impressed with the dampening as I had certain lanes of the main road here with bad dips in the road that would make the stock shocks bottom out and really upset the spyder. Ryding the same road with M2 shocks and it literally passes through them like they are not there. I had to stand up on the spyder before it was so bad..absolutely amazing. Off camber high speed lanes with dips, no problem..very happy camper now..

The end of the 2020 riding season in Minnesota. I put 5600 miles on my M2 shocks this year. raced through the Black Hills twice with them this Summer.
Great Shocks means a great controled ride and my Spyder goes where I steer it. NO wallowing through the curves at speed +

I must admit that I do not understand how someone can ask a question or post an answer on a thread (or on FB for that matter) without actually reading the responses already provided. This is not having a go at you in particular, Pappa-Z, but I see it often and it really does puzzle me, especially in a thread that is only a couple of pages long. :dontknow: .
Someone recently asked on the SL FB site - “where is this vibration coming from at around 70mph”, and there were over 50 replies of “belt vibration”, one after the other. Obviously, some people do not even read the post directly before theirs before replying. I just don’t get it.:dontknow:

I was mulling over buying the Elka Stage 5 Shocks for my F3-S. After this thread, I think I'm going with M2s.

Taking my M2's out to the Black Hills for DW3. 6878 miles on them now and have enjoyed all of those miles under increased ride control. These are a Fantastic addition if you ride hard.

what is the difference in the pro street and the regular m2's except that they actually match my F3?
I wonder if he will do a remote on the rears like Lamonster offers with the Elkas?
I have an Limited wonder how they will work with the airbag, I'm sure he will adjust for that.

As mentioned earlier, in this thread & elsewhere, your best bet is probably to.....

They may tell you to unplug the compressor and drop the bag pressure down to 10-20 lbs. I would check with the builder!!! The reason I say that is that he is going to valve and spring your new shock to handle the load your carrying and your riding style; if the bag is still in the works as a working factor, they may fight with each other.
