• 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.

    What size are the oil Drain Plugs?

    I bought these my very first oil change. Best thing I did. The 2020 the brake lever was in the way. I reversed the bolt that as well and put the nut on the side that is not blocking the plug.

    First problem with my 2021 RT - side case won't open! Suggestions?

    Lay down and look under there. You can see the cable that unlocks. It can get dirty. I sprayed some WD40 on the cable and opens easy peasy

    A Rude Awakening

    You got off lucky. I bought my Goldwing trike in 2014 in Oklahoma and had to come back to Texas and had to pay 8.5% sales tax. Cost me another $2500. Same thing with the trailer I bought. Could no license it until I paid any 8.5 % sales tax on that.

    Wife getting too HOT 1/2 way thru long rides in the East Coast new heat!

    Don't cheap out. I did on my first one and it dried out fast under my mesh jacket. Bought my wife the Hyper Kewl and hers did not dry out as fast. I bought my self the Hyper Kewl as well. But 109 temps still stink and suck the fun out of rides. Have to stop and re-wet. I carry water...

    Radio has poor reception & lots of static - anyone else?

    This may sound strange. I have had my 2020 Spyder RTL for over a year and have about 16k miles. Have never even turned on the radio or listened to music. Can't here it anyway going down the highway. Too distracting in the headset.

    Correct size Airhawk for 2020+ RT?

    Exactly, my old air hawk was soft rubber. Like inter tube rubber. The new ones are cheap hard plastic. They stink. I put water in mine and it helped some.

    Backrest stuck on RT 2020

    I also found that if really tighten the bolt on the plastic holster. You will have a very hard time pulling the pin. Don't over tighten and it comes out easily with your fingers.
