• 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.

What are you using for cupholders

Full face helmet, no cups. I use a camelbak if I need one on long rides. BUT... I find some of the new double walled thermo cups keep my coffee warm in the trunk between stops. My cupholder comes with power windows, ac, and comfy seats.

I keep my water bottle in the trunk and I will not add a cup holder because I know myself too well, because it would only be a mater of time before I threw my water bottle at some idiot on the road that run a red light or pulls over on me. I would like to think that at my age I would mussel up some restraint but I have issues with stupid people or ones that just don't think. So I'll save myself some road rage moment and leave my water bottle in the trunk. Besides it's good to stop once in a while and stretch my legs .
 
I use a Spyder Cuff on the front handlebars and went to Menards and got the mugg with a straw.

Keep the drinks cold longer than I expected and can take out and drink while driving.

Was really happy with the convenience of grabbing a drink and not having to stop all the time. :thumbup:

I didn't like the clamping type of holder for the rear passenger bars because of the heated bars. So now they sell a cuff for them to now.

I like the cuff, I have one. But what is this cuff for the passenger of which you speak?
 
IMHO, and that is what it is, my opinion, cupholders are at best a distraction from safe riding. After all, we aren't sitting on the sofa watching telly. we should be paying strict attention to the task of riding safely. If you get thirsty, stop, get a drink, have a pee, stretch your legs and get back on the Spyder refreshed.

So, there you have it - my opinion - and in my mind it's the only opinion.
 
Hello Everyone
I a definitely new to the spyder world, my wife and I just purchased a 2013 RT. We are getting ready to go on our first road trip and am wondering what everyone is using for cupholders both front and rear. thanks for all your help, saw one from one of our advertisers here but the price was at this time out of our budget.

When we went cross country (Portland OR to Portland ME), we used the Camelbak with extended drinking tube. When not in use, the bite valve tucks into the top. When you need to use it, you just grab the tube, take a few sips, and tuck it back into the top. It works really well! (The pics came out sideways)

Im very happy with my Butler cup. It is very easy to drink while riding and also holds my Iphone 7plus on an Xgrip.:firstplace:
I do most of my riding in groups and we cant just pull over when we want to, so having a way to stay hydrated on long rydes is a big plus.

For those of you who use Camelbaks: if you have a full-face helmet, how do you manage to get the bite-piece under the chin of the helmet?

I have an Arai, and there's no room for the standard bulky bite-piece. Is there another option, other than the standard bite-piece?

I use the bite piece, but open my visor, take a few sips, then close my visor. Works for me!
