While I've been on this site,I've seen the great inventiveness of spyder owners solve some of the problems that the factory and engineers should've taken care of.Like all car/bike owners,we are never truly satisfied with a stock factory product.Tinkering w/it and making it OUR OWN,is what makes the vehicle unique.This site has joined alot of people together to solve some complex problems.Since the Spyder is a truly unique vehicle,short comings are expected.The breadth of enthusiasm fm owners is also unique.Nowhere have I seen people so a tuned to making the ride abetter and safer one.There's alot of GREAT info here! I've built alot of bikes over the years but the Spyder poses abit of a challenge.It only took aspark of inventiveness fm. afew people to get me started and I can say that it's getting better every day.Brakes,handlebars,windshields,etc.,have evolved in such a short time.Eveyone wants the best for such a one of a kind ride.Let's keep it going,it's fun and EXCITING! I'm looking forward to the handlebar mods.Made my own highway pegs and added a sound sys.,F-1 windshield and putting on the Micron pipe.Let's see what the future offers next SPYDER GANG!

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.

Per Marcel's instructions, I heated the center wing tip of my windshield with two blowdriers and while it was pliable, with an oven mitt, I increased the pitch of that center wing just a bit. That increase made a hugh difference in how the wind was deflected over my head. Now it is perfect. As a matter of fact, almost too perfect, I don't get as much wind circulation in my helmet and now I have to watch for fogging, but on the other hand, I can open my wind screen on my helmet while driving if I need to and not have it be too bothersome. So, I would say that for me, the F1 has been a great choice.
