• 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.

Sealing the deal tomorrow=replacement bumper

Welcome, welcome 👍

Welcome to both the spyder world and this most informative site...congrats on the new ryde. :2thumbs: not sure which bumper you are refering to but stock parts are best gotten from cheapcycleparts.com but if it is the bumpskid check with the vendors on the home page. :thumbup:

the bottom black part...he said it is scratched up because he hit the curb a few times in the front...

Honestly I would not worry about it, as with the Spyder having so low clearance I'm sure it will get scraped again. I did my first scrape on my current F3T (my third Spyder) before I even hit 500 miles. I would just get a skid plate for it, and not worry anymore. Maybe some black paint to cover it if it shows?

2008 s

hey ! that is a nice looking cycle , looks like it was well taken care of , from the photo in the ad, the bumper is scrapped ? or was that after ? seems like it pretty good to go on the front bump , or just hard to see ! I am sure something will come along for you to fix it ... have a blast while you are looking
 
Hi hogowner,

Re: does anyone know where I can get a replacement bumper???

I made my own bump skid from a guy on here who made his own first.

I am not good at doing a SEARCH but try to find the thread.

Or send me an email at: jerrybaumchen(at)gmail(dot)com

and I will send you back some info on how to make your own.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Off the top of your heads.....what will 3 new tires cost for the bike? and with labor?

I am in NYC and the prices for labor is nuts!

When I serviced my harleys....it was $120 per hour for labor!!
 
:welcome: and :congrats: on your new :spyder:

Labor is usually on the "high" side. Figure a couple hours for three tires.

Bumper

I sent you a pm, I have a new in the box painted the green could be resprayed black. $100 plus shipping
 
Have you seen the Spyder in person? Be VERY cautious about any Craigslist deal where you can’t see the. Bike in person before paying. The scammers always have some reason why you can’t see it.

Sorry if I’m stating the obvious, but while I was looking for my RT I came across several obvious scam listing on craigslist.
