• 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.

Trying to adapt a Spyder to custom 3-wheeler - any help appreciated?

So I've had this Tri-Magnum for about 25yrs, was in storage for the last 20 yrs. After purchasing it I installed an '86 sportster as the power plant. 2010-2016 I owned a 2010 Spyder RS, just recently semi-retired and now I want to put an Electric shift Spyder in the Tri-Magnum for the fat tire, hp, water cooled and mechanical reverse. 16yrs of thinking and planning. Basically the donor bike is only used from the fork neck back, so if I utilize a Spyder can I take the front wheel sensors and splice them into the rear wheel sensor ( so to fool the computer that all wheels are spinning all together)? And if I extend the wire harness as needed (moving gauge cluster, handle bar controls, etc) will it throw codes in the computer as it adds a slight more resistance in the readings to the control boxes, etc.? Any help is appreciated.
