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.

Thanks! I still have a couple of new additions I haven't posted yet as well. Once the mod bug bites it never seems to stop itching.

TricPlate - Another New Addition
I installed the TricPlate privacy license plate cover on my Spyder, available from www.tricplate.com and really like it. You have full control of whether you want people to see your license plate or not. Of course it is meant for show purposes only, and not supposed to be used to black out your plate while ryding on the street. No matter, as I really like it.
This is what it looks like when it is turned on:
This is what it looks like when you turn the power off:
Here is a video clip of it in show mode where it flashes on and off, showing how it works.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the compliment.
Great pics and videos, SpyderWolf! I just read through every reply and watched all your videos. Pretty sweet!! I, too, fell into the addiction of Reggy's LED's and have put some of the easy ones in (on the side wheels) but have been hesitant to get under the dash to put in the 4-zone remote switch in that I bought so that I can put in my rings and LED strips.
Did you do it yourself or have someone install the 4-zone remote? That is one thing I wish someone would make a video of is installing the 4-zone for n00bs like myself to figure out what they're doing. I guess that I am just too cautious for my :spyder2:.
pps: (Heck, I even asked a local Spyder dealership here in Des Moines, IA if they would install only that and I would figure out the rest and they did not want to do it . . . . go figure) So I still have all the materials and now after seeing your awesome pics and videos, am getting more nerves up to just try it myself or to do more looking around for videos.

My wife and I did all of the lighting installs on our Spyders. The biggest hurdle is the one you are facing now, and that is worrying about messing something up. I placed my 4 zone control box behind the dash, but my wife has hers mounted underneath and it is hidden by the seat pan. So you have some options.
I ran a hot from the battery and a ground to a switch I mounted on the dash. Then connected the hot for the controller box to the switch, and hooked the grounds together. My wife did not use a switch, which made things even easier. For the lighting it is just a matter of running the wires and connecting them to the leads on the different zones.
It is not difficult, but can be very time consuming. I have heard there are some dealers that will do the installs, while others won't. Some independent shops are also willing to do the installs. I actually think doing it yourself gives you a peace of mind because you know where everything is wired and how it works. If something quits working then you know where to start troubleshooting it. If someone else does the install for you then you may be at their mercy when trying to trace a problem.
I hope that helps.

I think it will take at least a 24, if not 36, step program to cure my addiction.

I also lost my license plate reflector on the way to Daytona, and had to come up with a solution to keep from getting a ticket. Thanks to Lamont for stating a Cateye light would fit, the technical assistance folks at J&P Cycles for taking a look at the Spyder and figuring out which light would work, and to Dustin the contracted J&P mechanic for getting it installed for me.
Here is the package to show the actual model number of the light in case anyone else is interested in it:
It does require 2 new holes to be drilled into the rear fender, so it is highly recommended to remove the rear fender first:
Once the light is installed and the fender back on you should be good to go:
If anyone knows where to get Millenium Yellow touch up paint for the two places the stock light rubbed the paint off, please let me know.
With the addition of this light, my Spyder now looks like this from the rear at night:
I believe that is some very good visibility now, and well worth the time, money, and effort it took to get the lighting mods done. :thumbup:
Do you have any lights pointing down on your license plate, or does the new running light illuminate it?

I'm curious on this, too. I am probably going to order one of these lights, but it's hard to tell from J&P pics if it shines down on the plate. In your pics it looks like it.
