• 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 I found works to work on the Spyder

My standard car ramps just didn't raise the bike high enough to get under it easily or just tear it apart. So I built some ramps that are 13" at the top. I should have made the ramp a little longer as its too steep. I use my ramps from the bike trailer to get up and then remove them to work on it. You don't need the ramps to back it off.

With the back tire still on the floor it gives you 22" at the front. Surprisingly sitting this way the bike is almost level. If you needed to raise the back you can use a jack, or make a 3rd ramp.

I was moving the ipod/aux plug from the trunk to the glove box, and it was a lot easier at that height. I went ahead and changed the oil since it was due and all of the tupperware was off on the right side. I got 5 quarts out, so I don't think the angle prevented any from not draining out.

Great idea!

I also jack up the front when I do my oil changes, and have always gotten all the oil out. :thumbup:
