• 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.

Tell your Hubby he needs to trade that Ultra in for one of those little 883 Sportsters then you would not have no issues. Tell him those leak oil as well, so he will still feel like a true HD guy. :roflblack: Good luck to you.

I like guys that make funny's! :roflblack: And I'll have you know....not one of our HD's has ever had an oil leak. :thumbup: Now that I've said that.....:pray:

 
I can't get my spyder to go on any trailer of any size. For some reason when it see's the opening it balks and the engine shuts off. I have to move the trailer out of shight before it will re start. Not sur why it happens but it does. When driving down the street, past a trailer sales outled it will not allow me to turn into the parking lot. Dam thing has a mind of its own.
It has caused use some problems, like rideing in the rain or cold but try as I might I can not get it to go on a trailer.
Is this common with all Spyders? I might ad my BMW and Gold Wing are the same way. They will not go on a trailer of any kind. sometime I wish they would...

So you have a Spyder with an attitude. :rolleyes:
 
I have an Iron Horse trailer. They make several sizes of flip top with ramp enclosed trailers that are light and designed for motorcycles. Their site has sizes and photos. goggle ironhorse trailers. I could not afford a new one but searched on the web until I found a used one near Atlanta. I needed the trailer for the rt and and antique scooter, 1961 Cushman Super Eagle, parts and supplies to last through a week of rally, show and swap meet. Put the scooter on display, then rode the blue ridge mountains during the 5 days of the rally in the north Ga. mts... Locked the scooter up at night in the trailer.

I just checked them out. Those are some nice trailers. The longest they come is 16ft so that's not an option either, but thanks for the idea.
 
I have no real idea on this, trust the good guys on here to set us right.
Has anyone tried using a snowmoblie trailer to hual spyders or Spyder/two wheeler ? Might work for space, but not weight. I kind of looked at them to haul my Spyder, but quit when I discovered the "Drop Tail'.

I have hauled mine on a snowmobile trailer and it worked great. It was an enclosed clam shell one and I was able to drive it on. The wieght is not a issue for the trailer but a high winshield is. If you back it in it might work but make sure you try it first before you buy.

Downfall is the fast motion when the bed tips back down. When it goes, it goes and you better be ready.
 
Gotta check with Len at cowtown he put 2 spyders on a REALLY small flat bed butt to head. Get with him and I 'll bet he could help you. Check out spyderfest stuff and you could find his addy. He's pit bull buggy on here.

TRAILERS

Dont do like i did took the wife to a rv show, she fell in love with a toyhauller for the spyder chechbook about 14lbs lighter. Take it home in one week
 
I have a Aluma 7x14 snowmobile trailer that I use for the Spyder, also when you have the snowmobile version you get the extra ramp on the nose and the big plus is the vee is 5 feet making 19 feet of usable space.

:2thumbs: Your wife and I'd get along just fine. I've been known to do that sort of thing myself. :thumbup:

I'm going to look into those, thanks. :thumbup:
 
R & R (R n R) makes a great all aluminum trailer, too, and they are made right here in Michigan. They do have 8x18 and 8x20 foot models. I have their 7x12 V-nose model.
