• 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.

Welcome I too have balance issues

I suffered a Cerebral Embolism while on a scuba dive. Lots nof time in decompression chamber and physical therapy to regain about 90% of my balance and awareness of surroundings.
That is the reason I got a Spyder. Best thing I ever did. No issues with balance on the Spyder and it is a dream to ryde. I have just alittle over 9000 miles and going strong. My wife loves ro ryde on the back.

Hey all..new to the forum. Friday I picked up a 2008 RS with 1,955 miles. Came with a backrest, Hindle exhaust and taller windshield. I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) in 2001 which affects my balance as well as other things. I am hoping to have it all legal this week. Very excited. If anyone has any helpful hint, tips or suggestions..i am all ears.

Welcome too the site, I see your initial post was ahwhile ago but that said great site, I dont post often but do and have collected alot of info and upgrades for my trike. I also have an issue with balance cause of a condition and the Spyder is the ticket. We both have the same bike so posiibly some of the things I did too mine will help your self. If one was 5 6" young and in shape mine woulda been fine, but im 6' 235 and NOT in shape and also balance and leg strength is a concern so the riding position had to be tuned a bit. With out typing a huge post I put BRP comfort seat think there is prob better ones out there But was on the shelf and was needed factory one was too hard. Floor boards, Hi way pegs I had too have the option to stretch my legs out, Heli-bars brought the bars back 4.5 " and up 1". My bike is a Manual but know the $ I spent was needed or I couldn't continue too ride it especially for long distances was horrible for myself on long distance trips. In my Pic below the handle bars are not back, and the hiway pegs are not on it yet..Doug
