• 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.

    Am I being too cheap by Not changing the filters on a low milage oil change?

    The 441 was an absolute beast! Yes the "kickback" from the kick starter was ugly. I went limping away from it a few times. My buddy had one as a dirt bike, you'd hear him climbing a hill with the "dhut, dhut dhut dhut" single piston just thumping away. Crazy torque! It could climb anything! We...

    How to gear up to ride comfortably and safely in really hot weather?

    I'm a long-distance rider and have had to ride through some brutally hot areas (103+) in Southern California like the Mojave Desert. Riding on the Harley is like sitting on a toaster. The heat coming off of it at low speeds is horrible. What has always worked for us it using wet vests (soaked...

    Am I being too cheap by Not changing the filters on a low milage oil change?

    Yes! On the Ultra I run it in all 3 holes (Engine, Tranny and Primary case). When shifting gears, I don't get that "Clunk" anymore. It shifts like butter. I had to tear done my 02 Roadking Motor at 50K because I toasted the top end. I was coming back from Yellowstone (Sturgis Rally trip) running...

    Am I being too cheap by Not changing the filters on a low milage oil change?

    The one thing I learned in riding a Harley is Oil & Filter is cheaper than a motor. Granted it's Air cooled vs Water cooled but the principle is the same. I always change my oil earlier than recommended. Amsoil is amazing, and run it in the Spyder, Ultra Classic and even my Mini Cooper Countryman.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I installed the Freedom Shield 24" Recurve windshield in light grey tint with the Up vent covers. Also installed the Slingmod Thermal R&D Ceramic Coated Cat-Back Touring Exhaust System with Carbon Fiber Tip. Love the sound of the exhaust pipe now. I'm still running the Cat. - -

    After Information/feedback on the Freedom Windshield for 2020+ Spyder RT's - will it reduce pillion wind buffetting?

    Thanks for getting back to me. I also wear bifocals and postition them in my helmet so I can see the distance and the dash/screens. I have a Bell Mag 9 that I use for the Spyder. It's got 2 dropdown (inner sunglass and outer visor) visors to choose from. I rarely use the outer one unless it's...

    After Information/feedback on the Freedom Windshield for 2020+ Spyder RT's - will it reduce pillion wind buffetting?

    Yup, agreed @mecsw500. Everyone's experiences and results are going to be different. When riding, I'm generally looking right over the top edge of the shield. I tried lowing it and raising it up, with mixed results. I hate looking through the windshield. At night, for me looking through the...

    After Information/feedback on the Freedom Windshield for 2020+ Spyder RT's - will it reduce pillion wind buffetting?

    I went with the Freedom recurve windshield on my 2023 RTL and I've been using it for over a week now. I'm a little disappointed with it. I guess I set my expectations a bit high since I have a recurve on my Harley Ultra (different company) and the wind turb8ulence is neglectable on it, even over...

    Anyone else had to Insure their Spyder as a 2-wheel motorcycle? Any success changing its designation to a 3-Wheeler?

    I went with Geico because they were cheaper on my Harley (and now the Can Am) than Progessive and AAA

    Which GPS fits Garmin 660 GPS mount?

    Thank you for that and I'll load them onto my Samsung 25 Ultra & try it on my Carpuride W702. Would make things a lot easier since the Carpuride screen is great in bright sunlight. I use the Garmin mainly on my Harley since it is Pre-Bluetooth capable and I can connect the Garmin into the...

    Which GPS fits Garmin 660 GPS mount?

    Your right! Forgot the 660 is still supported where my 665 is not. I found that method of loading the map cumbersome and painful at times. I found a great site that you can download the most recent Garmin maps (Open-source maps) for free and install them in 5 minutes by basically renaming the...

    Which GPS fits Garmin 660 GPS mount?

    I just put the Garmin Zumo 665 (same as the 660 but also has XM built into it) on the Spyder. I current run it on the Harley and wanted the capability to move it from it to the Spyder. I got the harness with the detachable mount from a friend, but I was looking on eBay and there are a few there...

    Anyone had over-heating issues after fitting Front Grills? Any issues with ShowChrome Trunk Replacement Shock?

    I bought both from Slingmods and just replaced the shock with the heavy duty one about 2 weeks ago. The trunk lid wouldn't stay up anymore. The trunk now stays up when opened. As for overheating, haven't had any issues with those RT vent covers at all. I rode the Spyder twice last week in 95+...
