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.

I Have one on my Spyder RT-S SE5 2010 Model - Can't fault it - Well pleased with it
Suggest you put SMOOTHSPYDER in the Advance Search Box RHS of Home page - Results- there should be many Threads on the SmoothSpyder enough for you to make an informed judgement
Hope this helps

Ordered, last night. Confirmation of shipment received today! Only negative, so far? Had to pay $15 shipping, with no indication on the supplier's site that SL's get free shpping. Not complainting, mind, just feeling that sense of loosing the two bottles of cheep wine I could've had.

I am pretty sure you could install it. Assuming you are capable of working at the lower end of the bike. I would guess the guy who sells them (forgot his name at the moment) would be willing to talk you through it. Most of the vendors on here go above and beyond the call of duy to make their customers happy. I once lived in a land where that was normal.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for my smart-mouth remark on my last post, about the shipping charges and wine.
pps: Ain't the first time my mouth or fingers have embarrassed me. Reason? Got a notifiction from PayPal, and from Capt'n Jim that there is a refund on the way! The earlier post by someone, giving the Spyder Lover's price, is correct.
Neither is this the first time that I've gotten a pleasant surprise, when dealing with a SL's supporting vendor. Probably not a surprise to longer-term members. Now, I have another, SmoothSpyder, to add to the list, which includes Baja Ron and Cow Town. In a world where most of us have come to expect poor service in just about any business dealings you can name, it's really nice to find out that there are really good folks out there who treat the customer the way that things used to be, way back when. Thank you, Jim.:clap::thumbup:

Well done Dick Wells for taking the time out to correct your earlier thread and putting the record straight
Some will have read the ealier thread and may have made up their minds not to pursue business with Capt'n Jim
I have to agree that if you have any problems with SL Vendors, approach them 1st they don't want negitive feedback as its
not good for Business its always in their intrests to have satisfied customers
I have used many of the vendors on this website and I am always happy to endorse them to others
In this day and age its difficult to find excellent service, But as most of us find when using SpyderLovers vendors not impossible

It lowers it about an inch. I had never noticed it before. It comes down to just about the same height as the exhaust manifold. I didn't measure it that closely. I am not going to go experiment but my guess is that the nose is going to hit something long before that idler pulley will. And I don't even drive on gravel roads with a Spyder so I am sure that it will not cause me a problem.

Got my SmoothSpyder a week-ago tomorrow, and have forgotten to mention it in here. Thanks for the quick turn-around.
Have to say that the thing looks like a quality piece.
It looks like it will be a pretty straight-forward installation process, and I doubt anyone with a few mechanical skills would have much trouble with it.
Thanks, Capn Jim, I'll let Y'all know when it's done, and how I like it.
