• 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 was your best Upgrade/Add-on to your Spyder???

As Mikey says "All of them!". These are my best of the best:
2012 RT Ltd: Hi-vis brake/running light onto trunk, floorboards replacing pegs and hard-wiring for heated gear
2014 RT Ltd: Hi-vis brake/running light onto trunk, replacing reflectors on front fenders with Turn/running lights and car tires, ultimate seat, F4 28" windshield and hard-wiring for heated gear
2022 RT Ltd: Rear brake/turn/run light, Zumo 595 GPS, F4 28" windshield, hard-wiring for heated gear, and handlebar riser
 
Custom Daylong seat. Without it, my Spyder would have been sold, making it the “best upgrade” by a long, long way 😉
The rest, Pedal Commander, shocks, swaybar, Helibars etc, really are just fine tuning, not essentials.

2014 RTL... Many upgrades but the three I would do immediately again if starting over are, in order of importance,
1. Replace OEM tires with quality car tires
2. Install Baja Ron sway bar.
3. Laser alignment.

There were many other changes and upgrades done that each added benefits to me. But I consider the 3 listed as musts...
 
Backrest, car tires, and speedbleeders in that order. Pending is airbox delete kit and front shocks.
