• 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.

    Has anyone tried an Automotive glass pack muffler on their RT?

    How loud is what? I'm sorry I didn't hear what you said. Say that again, and please speak a little louder so I can hear you. I'm a little hard of hearing these days. Must be because of all the years I spent on top of that Harley. LOL

    How far from a wall and how high for 2015 RT Head light adjustment?

    After dark, everything is out to get you. Back off on the throttle until you can get home and park it.

    Old Gold Wing rider considering a 2012 RT need help finding a fair value for it and advice.

    NO! 1330 in a 2014 or newer. My neighbor lady bought a 2012 and regretted it every day until she found a buyer for it to take it off her hands. One of her major complaints, among others, was that her Honda (car) got better gas mileage.

    12 injured after the Rider of a Spyder loses control in Brooklyn, NY

    If there were a national proficiency and avoidance test to qualify for a driver's license to operate any 2, 3, or 4 wheeled vehicle "safely" on the streets and highways, half the population wouldn't or couldn't pass the test. Most people can operate a vehicle, but to make timely, safe decisions...

    Anyone using an Aluma MC210 for Late Model RTL/S2S? Any General comments on this & other Trailer options?

    I have the Aluma also with removable super chocks. Only two small straps to tie it down. I tend to go with versatility regarding just about anything I invest in. I can also load my Polaris Ranger on the Aluma.

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    Almost every time, I fueled up, I'd reach under there and check the slack in the bearing. I finally got some after 3K miles. I carry zip ties with me, so I zip-tied it up off the belt and later removed it completely. A failing cheap bearing doesn't come close to the cost of a belt replacement.

    Before planning trips, check on the Fires in Utah!

    Most of the fires are due to carelessness and or power companies' lack of proper maintenance. Slow response time is also a contributing factor, but we are making progress on that one. Darn, I forgot arson!

    Just sold my Harley and have follow up questions - what spec RT; Base, Ltd, Sea to Sky? Used, or new?

    Shed a tear as my Harley drove off with a new owner on it. Went down to the Spyder dealer, jumped on a new RT, and the rest is history. You'll adapt and grow to love whichever spyder you pick, and making new friends is an adventure in its own right. Looking back, I made the right decision, and...

    My wrench list - what do I need for front brake & wheel removal?

    "The most important thing I carry is a AAA card with the highest level of membership." I believe the AAA catd would be a better choice of tool for you. Along with that, I suggest a fully loaded ATM card. Of all the tire and wheel problems that could occur on the road, you'd have to have a...

    Has anyone tried an Automotive glass pack muffler on their RT?

    "It couldn't look any worse than the OEM muffler." Right on Metalman! I took a 2Bros muffler and revamped it into a glasspack with a full-length can opener style baffle and got a better sound to my liking. Also lost a lot of extra weight. I like that slight overlap sound when shifting up in...

    2012 Spyder Back in the race!

    The service tech, AKA a spyder mechanic, who worked for the dealership where I bought my Spyder broke out on his own and now has his own shop. He works on almost anything if he can get parts, 10 years old or older. He did tell me, though, that he will not install any aftermarket parts. He will...

    2012 Spyder Back in the race!

    If older Spyders had health insurance, as their older riders do, this thing absolutely wouldn't happen. Just imagine getting letters, emails, and advertisements to bring in your Spyder for anything that does or doesn't ail it?

    Has anyone tried this Cat-back muffler?

    All you are going to get from this system is a different sound and a lighter pocketbook. If you're searching for performance, invest in a stage II. I should know because I've done all that, and so have many others. Honestly, I think you'll get the same answer from anyone with experience in both...

    Newbie needing advice on adjusting the drive belt alignment - anyone?

    Try counterclockwise. Spin the tire by hand. You should see the results right away.

    Any advice on adjusting toe on the front wheels? Is the job doable without BUDS?

    I have another machine that uses the same kind of belt. If I lose one or two teeth, it never lets you know it. But lose more, and you'll know it immediately. You'll find yourself dead in the water, so to speak. I don't know of any other way to prevent that other than a visual check, and that...
