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.

Push pins
This is the tool that I use. took all of 2 minutes to make back in 2008. Flat blade (1/8 inch wide), heated the tip red hot and gently bend to the shape shown. Rounded all shape corners and polished. Works like a crowbar to lift the center pin. Then you pop out the rest of the rivet. Pictures are included to prove it's real.

Based on two "stupid" posts
:agree: I have been a spyder owner since 08. My 08 GS has been the only spyder that has been to dealer for service, That was for steering recall.
I guess this is why I stopped posting here, I still luv this site for the USEFUL info you can get here.. It must be a VERMONT Thing.
Some folks here post only to increase their post numbers...Sorry I guess I'm just a shadetree Southern guy

PUSH-PINS

and I'm going to be me too
In 2007 when I bought my GS
instead of complaining about the bike I fixed things the way I liked them
So keep up the good work and keep posting your ideas
Not everyone here wants to buy things when we can make them
besides my nearest store is 80 miles from home
That's what keeps your mind young:yes::yes:

Very cool you made the tool that fulfills your needs and expectations.
Some of the other tools shown above for removing automotive trim may or may not work well for this application. I have those tools for other vehicles or jobs and tried them first, including a round and polished tip flat screwdriver used for spurring buffing pads.
I could have purchased these specialty pliers from Harbor Freight, but paid more to support the tool truck and saved the trip, making the price within a couple dollars when compared.
These specialty pliers work well, and may be a little easier to obtain rather than fabricate for some that do not have access to the steel, grinder or a small workshop to build the specialty tool.
Again, glad it works for you.

Maybe is was not what was asked but WHO asked ? but some people can never see themselves as one of "those people" besides I think you may have had something to complain about the ride favor .
I apologize upfront as I don't know you personally but you sure come off on this site as really conceited , and a better than any one else person . JMHO

I'll take some Indian Pudding. If you don't have that, Maple Walnut will do. Thanks :yikes:

Maple Walnut is a longtime "go-to" flavor for me. :thumbup:
But tell me about Indian Pudding... That's a new one for me.
