• 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.

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    Probably true if you're asking them to remove and reinstall the rear wheel. But most tire shops will happily mount a tire to the rear wheel if you take it to them off the bike. Because it's no different than mounting any other car tire to a car wheel. They won't be able to spin balance it. But...

    #6 - The Boats! Both Lamont and I loved to fish deep sea off the coast of Southern California and Baja. I decided to buy a boat. I found a nice 19-foot, outboard motor, fiberglass, deep V hull rig. And, for a very good price (A red flag which should have alerted me to check more closely). But my...

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    It's always best to sell directly to the buyer. Trade-Ins typically get you coming and going. Best to buy in the Winter and sell in the Spring or Summer. Not everyone can do this, but it can easily put thousands of dollars into your pocket.

    Has anyone heard any rumors about a new 1600 engine for 2027 Spyders?

    You're right. And I misspoke. What I should have said, as you point out, is that all radial engines have odd cylinder numbers Per Bank. So, I suppose that you could get a 6 cylinder radial engine with 2 banks of 3. Anything is possible if money is no object!

    I ride all kinds of Spyders at the shop. I much prefer the F3. I don't care about the wind. I just did 1,500 miles without a windshield. If I want wind protection, I drive a car. But this is nothing more than my personal opinion. In this decision, yours is the only one that matters.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    That's to move the driver away from the wall.

    Has anyone heard any rumors about a new 1600 engine for 2027 Spyders?

    People do crazy things! Not to mention that all radial engines have an odd number of cylinders.

    2025 F3 Special Series - is there any reason that wiring the heated seat to the unused heated passenger handgrips wiring might not work?

    I would be concerned about the additional load. Seat heaters are going to draw more than the grips. Just upping the fuse is not a good idea. Take wire gauge into consideration as well.

    #5 - The Honda Valkyrie that Wouldn’t! In the late 90’s, Lamont and I went through our Valkyrie stage. Every time Lamont would find a new ‘Favorite’ motorcycle, he would call me and say that I needed to buy one as well. I think that worked out to roughly 2 or 3 to 1 for me taking his advice. But...

    Is there a seat to lower the passenger height on a 2011 RT?

    There is more to the passenger seat than just height. interfacing with the driver is also a concern. Another reason for the higher seating point is to give the passenger vision to the front. Why do you feel the need to lower that ride height?

    Rear Air Suspension not working - compressor runs all the time riding 2-up - any suggestions?

    The way to set your front suspension height (if you are able) is to load it as you would normally ride (passengers, luggage, etc.). Then, on a flat surface, have someone measure from the bottom, front of the main frame member running under the center for the Spyder to the ground. You want...

    Does a first service/oil change at 500 miles sound "normal" for a 2024 RTL

    Typically, if there is enough contamination getting past the filter to damage an engine, the oil is going to be noticeably darker. Except for a diesel. Which will have black oil 5 minutes after an oil service.

    My brother is a big VW Bus fan. He says they are highly sought after vehicles. And have been for many years. Google says; A 1967 VW Westfalia sold at a 2024 auction for $48,251, another for $71,000. Some custom versions can bring even more.

    I'd like to see it go around a turn. It doesn't look like the front wheels have anywhere to go. (Left to Right)
