• 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.

Question for the seasoned one-up road warriors. Sway Bars

That’s a good question. I ride very fast and aggressively in the twisties on my 2019 F3T. The F3Ts, similar to the FTLs and RTs has a rear air shock. I set the PSI in my rear shock pretty high which seems to help with aggressive cornering because my bike does not wander nor wobble. However, lately I have had the rear tire briefly break lose (on dry pavement) while cornering hard. This started happening after about 8K miles and now at 10,500 miles after getting a front flat at speed I’ve decided to replace all of my lousy 2 ply Kenda tires with Vredestein Quatrac car tires. Looking forward to a major improvement in handling without upgrading the sway bar. I’ll let you know how it goes. But I must be lucky because I have not had any issues with handling on the interstate.

Hi Folks! I'm sure this question has been asked numerous time, but please humor this relative newbie.

I'm looking to the future in taking longer rides. My aim is to have better control in high winds and maneuvering around semi's on interstates riding one-up (as opposed to tearing through twisties).

Is it worth the investment in a beefier sway bar (BajaRon more than likely)? Or, since I'll be riding solo, is the stock sway bar sufficient?

Yes. The sway bar is absolutely worth the investment. I installed the Baja Ron bar and it is the single best improvement I have made to my Spyder. Handles better in turns, greater wind stability and a lot better riding two up. I would highly recommend it.
