• 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.

Windsheld distortion

I need a windshield wiper for my helmet visor :roflblack:

I have seen that repeated here and elsewhere many, many times.
My question: Why?
Because of the distortion. No matter how minor the distortion is, it can affect your decision making, in a tight or almost crash situation this minor difference can make a difference between ryding away, or being rolled away on a gurney. The purpose of the wind screen is to push the air over the top of your hea. The optimum adjustment is where you are sitting naturally and the top of the wind screen is just below your line of sight while looking straight ahead. If your Spyder doesn't have a wind screen up-down adjustment on the handle bar, you need a shorter wind screen.
 
My ST had distortion as you were riding in curves...I look over the shield...but in curves there is that few seconds and all is distorted...drove me crazy...I ordered a extra wide medium shield from Cal-Sci ...love it
 
I think those of you who are trying to peer through your windshields are missing the point. They are not normally designed to be looked through. Why? Because it's dangerous with no washers or wipers. Even a splash from a muddy puddle can leave you blinded. So, whilst you may be able to see through some windscreens passably, they aren't designed to be looked through. It's not a design fault, just a lack of appreciation of what they are designed to do; flip air and rain etc. over your head.

And, incidentally, your visor does have a wiper - your left hand!
