• 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.

I actually got dressed up with my ski mask and was on my way out the door until I remembered it was Sunday, but that gives me more time to plan for Monday like putting on pants.

If they catch you; send your Spyder's keys to Lamont and we'll all make sure to keep it from getting stale while you are being "entertained" by the State... :shocked:
(Now I've got to go take a peek at those wheels...)

E-BAY WHEELS

I do believe those would really freak the "NANNY" out,....unless of course, you didn't put tires on them....:yikes:....:roflblack:....mike...:thumbup:
 
The product description shows the finish as "Black Powder Coat". I realize that the picture shows chrome, so who do you believe?
 
First, you'd have to take the fenders off, which I don't care for rocks flying into my face, nor my paint job while turning.

Second - those are front wheels....it wouldn't affect the nanny at all since it's connected to the shocks and rear wheel.
 
But".. They're chrome.... Sorry... I'm just not a chrome guy...
But if you could figure out a way to hang some lights on them... :2thumbs:
I think that Nanny might have some trouble digesting some of the inputs generated by those... The speed differential between the front and rear might set her off... :gaah: Unless you got hooked up with a bigger rear setup as well!:shocked:
 
It is not the wheel size that affects the nanny, but the wheels/tire combination. If you can fit a low enough profile tire on a larger wheel to keep the total diameter about the same, you will have the same number of revolutions per mile, and will not upset the electroncs. BTW Joet82, the front wheel speed is monitored on the Spyder, and if it doesn't reasonably match the rear wheel speed, the nanny does indeed get unhappy. The traction control can be triggered, and the ABS may become disabled as a result, in addition to limp mode and a slew of warnings.

The rear wheel/tire setup should be about 23.85" tall... At least if my Math skills are close to intact! :roflblack:
(225/50R-15...)
Now go check out tirerack.com and break out the calculators! :thumbup:
 
20 INCH WHEELS

See I told you so....nay nay nay...nay nay....and Scotty what aspect ratio are those 20 inch tires going to have "15"....you might as well have solid rubber for all the flex those babies will have....:roflblack:..:roflblack:..:roflblack:..:roflblack:.......Mike....:thumbup:

I didn't say I was a fan, only that the wheel size alone doesn't determine Miss Nanny's reaction. I personally refer to these as "TinkerToy" wheels...and yes, they ride like old solid rubber tires, at least they do on cars.
 
:agree: Going to a wheel like that will require lots more thought than what it takes to write the check... or rob the bank! :shocked:
Larger overall diameters at both ends will give you the aspect ratios necessary to keep it from riding like it's on solid ribber tires, but now you've got clearances to ponder and ride heights to ruminate over... :shocked::shocked:

I no the company that
Sells them I am the one that they called to figure out how to get the wheels to work around the nanny I think there way to expensive I told them but what can u say when they are trying to make a dollar its cheiper to buy blank 20 inch wheels and get them drilled out 3 lug
 
:agree:
Chrome is for people who would radder polish than ride.
Or just ride to Hooters and back.:cheers:

Haven't ridden to hooters yet. Tend to eat lunch there when I'm out and about for work. Especially on thursdays... Got a nice promotion for thursday lunches I like....
