• 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 did you do to your Spyder today?

Working on refining the wiring for my heated gear with a 2 channel remote controller.
Changing the SAE connections to Coax connectors.
Assembling and installing an IPS back rack.
Adding an LED programmable brake light to the back rack.
Finally installed wiring for my XM radio.

Nothing today, but yesterday installed my Ultimate seat with gas door and backrest. Then set about getting the backrest set at just the right angle. That always takes me several long rides to find the sweet spot. First time out with my Stage two Monster ECU flash. Had a great 250 mile ride with my riding buddy who rides a Harley dresser. I always make him ride 1/2 mile or more behind so I would be associated with the Harley crowd.(Ha,Ha. He's concerned not to be associated with a three wheeler) The Monster flash and the Torpedo muffler make a great performing and sounding ride out of the Spyder. Great riding weather but the bottom is set to drop out of the weather tomorrow and later this week. Also, installed my Wolo horn so I don't sound like a moped. Next is to install a different antennae for the CB to see if I can increase range. More later.
 
I ordered Spyder Pops plug ‘n play mirror running lights/turn signals from Lamonster Garage. It took 3 days for delivery and I have just finished the install. The installation went flawlessly and looks great...no hyper flash! Very easy install...the most difficult and time consuming part was the removal and reattaching of all of the plastic. Thank you for the great service Lamont!
 
Install Tow/Tie down rings to the front shock bolts.
Playing with the stock low windshield to try and determine the comfortable height for a replacement shield.
Rode a couple of hundred miles to run errands.
 
Give 7Jurock a call. Good people, killer prices, free shipping, And will make custom windshields for you at no extra cost. I have been using them for decades and never paid more than $170 shipped.

Purchased and had the CanAm dealer install a General Altimax rear tire.
Had to argue with the mechanic as he stated the 215/60-15 was TOO SMALL for my F3T.
Anyway the service writer accepted this job and I am very happy with the results.
The bike rides great and the speedo finally agrees with my GPS. :clap::clap:

Thanks to Lew L, of Battle Born Spyders, for helping me to find the General Altimax tire.

Tested the installation of my new Quatrac rear tire with the wife today. Did the removal and install of the rear tire myself and took it out to have it mounted yesterday. The fronts are getting Quatracs next Friday.

:ohyea: I went into her room, ripped off her cover, straddled her, and commenced to fire her up. She was willing to go! After a couple hour we slowed too a mutual pace, it was like old times. She was purring like a kitten, I know she was willing for more, but I promised the wife I'd be back before lunch! Damn that was good, I'm 70+ and still got it!.....:thumbup:...Bill
 
Right before Christmas of 2021, my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas. I said that's easy... a set of Highway pegs for my Spyder. She ordered me a set, and on the top of the box in big red letters it said "these will not fit a RT Spyder unless it has Running Boards" ( Mine does not ) and at least couple other things that mine doesn't have either..... Soooo, called them up and sent them straight back, and I learned nobody had any or made any that will fit my 2011 RTS Spyder that is all factory. But, today I built a set, drilled the Frame, and mounted the brackets; fit like they should have been there from the factory. Only now I need a good Drill Press, sooo my Birthday and our Wedding Ann. is May 10'th ... Guess what I want for THAT????? ..... LOL ... But I do feel good about the Brackets.

Soooo Bad, yet Soooo Good!:roflblack::clap:
 
Two grandkids and a great grandkid (12) came over and installed Lamonster's Tie Down Rings. I didn't like the way the shock bolt protrudes into the ring, so I taught the 12 year old how to use an angle grinder to cut off the measured excess, a grinding wheel for champhering the bolt end and a wire wheel for smoothing and polishing. Yes, I had him run a nut up the threads, to be removed when all those steps were done.

Cobwebs

Finally, a dry day. Temperature in the neighbourhood of 50°F. Sky was overcast (no sun). I decided to clear out the cobwebs in my head, and went for an hour and a half ride. Just local area. Speed never got over 90 km/h, but damn....it felt good.:yes::clap::yes:

Didn't do much for him, but I was careful not to run over him or step on him while he was in my shop.

Nice to see you keep it inside out of the weather! Newer model than I've seen before. Are you sure it's a "him"?
Be careful, some bite!
