• 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.

The new front VREDESTEIN 's replaced Kanine tires that went 23,722. I probably could have gotten 1,000 - 1,500 more miles, but am going on a 3-day trip, somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 miles. Figured why tempt fate. While the Kanines seemed to handle ok, they were advertised as a replacement of the OEM tires which were to outlast the OEM's by a material margin, which they did not. The OEM's that were replaced had 22,818.

Pictures attached of the Front Kanines.

2024 Spyder RT Sea to Sky

Whatever the stock tires that it came with from the factory.

I've only put about 250 miles on it, and I'm a very conservative rider, so I'm sure I'll have them for awhile. :D
