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.

Yes.
I have all sorts of measuring devices at my disposal, working in a technical school.
I have apps on my iPhone that turn it into a rule and a compass and a plumb bob.
Nope.
I eyballed it, got on and off the Spyder fifty times, reaching my hands out to the anticipated new bar positions and readjusted.
I eyeballed it.
(Maybe one of my arms is longer than the other, but my bars with the new risers are, like RoadHammers, perfect.) :thumbup:

I had mine installed at my dealership...I never realized that adjusting the angle was as simple as loosening the two allen bolts on the underside...spyderbyter explained this to me.
As per the recommendation, I loosened, adjusted a little for more comfort, and then added a little of the blue sticky stuff and tightened...
I haven't ridden since, but if it's not right, I will fiddle with it a little more.

I used one similar to the one that ESI sells on his site:

+1, Scotty. Used an angle gauge and a level on the two sets that I have installed.:thumbup:

Not sure why you need that...I'd think you rotate them for riding comfort. Ideally, you want them towards you a little as this will keep you more upright...if they stay away from you, you're more apt to lean forward and roll the back, thus creating some nice disc compression...argh!
I played with mine a bit...but I'll likely rotate them again once I get out and try out the new position...never realized how easy it was to rotate them...

I have mine rotated towards me-- can't recall how much-- but a fair amount--- went for what felt right.
As far as the gauge--- I wanted them to be equal (anal retentive with a side order of add and ocd---- :roflblack

Are you saying the only allen bolts that need to be loosened are the ones in the center and not the two outer ones?

eyeballing works
Since most people have a difference in their right and left arm lengths, go for what both looks right, but more importantly, what "feels" right.
I found that the gap line of the brackets made it easy to get them into same angle ballpark. Mine come back quite a ways - I can sight down the front plane of the risers from my standard sitting position and they both look equally matched.
