• 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.

    Lamonster Freedom Windshield

    I have the freedom on my 23 RTL and it fit very well. Use the install kit and not the factory installed grommets. Didn't have any issues installing it. I did add a rubber spacer to tilt the windshield forward a bit (about 2 degrees) changing the airflow. What year/model are you putting it on. It...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Installed the Lamonster Garage IPS Belt Tensioner I love wrenching (besides riding of course) and I’m a total weenie for mods and upgrades. I was getting a lot of road vibration through the handlebars and when I recently changed out the tires, about 90 percent instantly of it went away. The bike...

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    Pete, You'll love the Fobo2 TPMS. Mine have been on for over a year (my buddy I purchased the bike from installed them) and they work very well. I found that 2 fronts were off by 2 psi. So I went into the phone app and recalibrated (readjust) them - I could set them to any pressure reading I...

    Bad Vibration 2024 Can Am Spyder RT Limited - what can I do to improve my ride?

    I just went with Vredestein's Quatracs on the front and a General Altimax on the rear. This was a game changer. All the road vibration that was coming through the handlebars has gone. It now rides like a car. I was shocked at how smooth and nice the ride is. I was going to change out the shocks...

    What lift are you using to lift your 2023 RT?

    I use the Habor Freight PITTSBURGH 1500 lb. Steel ATV/Motorcycle Lift. Easily lifts both my Harley Full Dresser and the Spyder. I also use an automotive 2 ton floor jack and Two Harbor Freight Car ramps for the front wheels. Both setups depends on what I want to accomplish.

    Feedback on Ultimate Seats Low Profile Passenger Backrest vs the OEM Passenger backrest with arms, or mounting the OEM backrest straight onto trunk?

    I ended up with the Slingmods Heated Passenger Backrest. It's comfortable (I sat against it) and the wife will love it once she recovers from her surgery. It does move the seat back an inch or two and matches my stitching on the passenger/rider seats and rider backrest. It looks great!

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    Thank you @Peter Aawen I added a note to the DYI reagarding what's causing the O-ring to tear. I found this problem (and the fix) on both my Spyder and my buddy's bike yeasterday in changing the rear tires. The dealer's mechanic said that tearing the O-ring was a problem, but they never looked...

    Helpful Tips and Tricks in changing out a Wheels & Tires on a 2020+ Spyder RTL

    Things I learned and did during the Uninstall/Install for the front and rear tires. I also included a few steps/tips that I didn’t find on the internet. When I pulled my rear wheel apart on my 23 Spyder RTL, everything was very dry, including the seals, O-ring, and rear axle. My buddy, who sold...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I put the Slingmod's heated passenger backrest on for my spousal unit. She just loves it. She hated the stock backrest. I also swapped out my old Kenda tires for the front Vredestein Quatrac's in 165/60/15 & the rear for a General Altimax R45 Tire in 205/60/15. My front Kendas still had 1/2 the...

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    All, I wanted to thank everyone that posted and got back to me (regarding my questions) on the Vredestein Quatrac 165/60/15 & the General Altimax R45 Tire 205/60/15 and that's what I ended up with. Regarding the ride, OMG I am in total Awe! It is like night and day going down the same bumpy...

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    Thanks for the clarification. I kill myself sometimes. Yeah I reread "without the bar" and laughed. I meant without Baja Ron's Swaybar and only using the stock one that comes from the factory. Ron's Swaybar made a huge difference for me in the Los Angeles canyons like Decker (4.7 miles w/84...

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    You're right, they never end and before I posted this, I thought, yep, yet another tire post, but I looked everywhere for this information and got what I was looking for here in this forum and no where else. My thought behind the swaybar and rubbing was that without the bar, I felt that the...

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    Thank you sir! 2 Question: How are they in Canyons? I'm a bit agressive in the curves and hated the relatively weak sidewall going into turns on the front Kendas. I have the swaybar which keeps the front end flat going into the turns, and from what I've read, the Quatrac seem to handle the...

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    Thanks for getting back to me regarding the Conti's. The General Altimax RT 43 was replaced by the RT 45. I was leaning towards the 43 and found it to be discontinued. I'm having a hard time finding the 165's. This is what I'm typically finding in the pic below. 2 places I called said they...
