• 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.

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What to do? Anybody made theirs better?

    I can't recall the year right now, but a couple of years ago, all the top 5 iron butt riders wrapped their tushies in RDL's. On a side note, you can't expect your bony little butt to adjust itself to a motorcycle seat after it's been sitting next to the fire all winter. Give it a couple more...

    2012 Spyder RT SE5 - Need to replace LH Full Moon Tupperware - any ideas on where to get one? Any Spyder salvage yards?

    Search this site. Someone not long ago on here was parting out a spyder.

    What are your thoughts on Magic Mirrors or Magnetic Mirror mounts for a 2016 RT Limited?

    If you're a business owner and you adhere to the 10 rule, you are creating business for another shop owner. JMHO

    What are your thoughts on Magic Mirrors or Magnetic Mirror mounts for a 2016 RT Limited?

    Agree! What about normal maintenance? No oil changes, tire replacements or services of any kind on a 10 year old machine? My crystal ball tells me that if a business refuses to service or repair a product over ten years old, then that business may not exist much longer than ten years. My dad's...

    What are your thoughts on Magic Mirrors or Magnetic Mirror mounts for a 2016 RT Limited?

    Made my own magic mirror mounts and saved $$$. I only have two magnets, not three, because you don't need that extra one unless you just want to have it. They've been on my Spyder for over ten years now with no adverse issues. Long ago, someone on this site listed all the parts needed and where...

    Anyone know if there are Baker leg wings available for a '22 F3?

    If I'm not mistaken, I think Baker or his wife had medical issues. Sad. I've got a lot of miles under my belt, and what I would have given to have had Baker's years ago. Bakers are my favorite of all the upgrades I've done to my ride. They've made my spyder almost a year around machine. What...

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    Some of the places where I've had fries, I believe you are spot on with that one. LMAO

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    I run Amsoil 10w40, which I like. Does that mean I have large and small molecules?

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    I'm definitely not a computer guru, but here's the basic difference between conventional oil and synthetic oil. It's the consistency of the size of the balls (molecules). How do they separate it? He!! I don't know, but they say they can. And I'm sure they throw in a little salt and pepper...

    Anyone know if there are Baker leg wings available for a '22 F3?

    I looked at the Value Accessories video and their air wings look to be very similar to Bakers', along with a couple of extra deflectors. I don't think you'll ever be sorry if you get the complete set of air wings.

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    I think it's easier to remove and replace the zipties than to remove that tupperware and replace those mounting bolts. I've often wondered just how long zipties last? 20K, 50K, 100K? Next time I'm in there, I'll replace them; or what the hey, just add another ziptie. LOL

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    Save pennies on oil and risk dollars for repairs. The cost to replace a Can-Am Spyder clutch generally ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 or more, though the total can vary widely. The final price depends on the specific model, the clutch type (manual or semi-automatic), and whether you use a...

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    You have to experiment but at 180 you are in the ballpark. I run 160 on my RT and I still get intermittent vibration between 60 and 65 MPH. Not nearly as bad as before, but it is still detectable occasionally. I don't think you will ever achieve ZERO vibration. I had a dampener, but after a...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    The Slingshot doesn't even get 20k in its rear tire.
