• 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.

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    Ordered mine from them a couple weeks ago. Being in Canadastan, the land of taxes, duties, and other extra charges for who knows what, I don't know what the final price will be until it arrives. The communication I've had with them so far, I've been impressed.

    What tips/Snags will a local motorcycle tire shop need/meet doing a Spyder Rear Tire replacement?

    While we're on this subject :-). I'd have no problem taking the rear tire off but breaking the tire down and installing another is another thing, I'm clumsy around wheels as in screwing up the actual wheel/bead. Is there anything prohibitive about the front and rear wheels to prevent an...

    I'd buy that up in a minute if I was closer.

    Too hot to ride, or maybe I’m just getting old

    70 year old here. I agree with the too hot to ride. Ideal temp for me is 15-20°C, (60- 70°F) leaning toward the lower temp. Any hotter than that, I'm in my truck with the AC on if I have to go anywhere.

    How do you contact 7Jurock windshields? Shipping times?

    Just looked, may be but for USD$600 (CAN$843) I'm going to have to pass. Answered my own question, GP Cycleworks CAN$413, waiting to see what the shipping is. Thing that scares me is the damn duty which you don't know 'till it lands here.

    How do you contact 7Jurock windshields? Shipping times?

    Is this a 'one time problem' or is 7Jurock a POS company? It appears as if they are the most reasonably priced supplier that I can get in Canada, but not if I lose my money. Anyone know of an alternative company similar to them?

    I found an LED Plate Light Replacement for my 2020 F3!

    I believe Loctite will, over time, make the plastic brittle.

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    That's the brand I use. I've tried a few others but they seem to have the right amount of stiffness, expandability, and compressability.

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    I've tried numerous earplugs, the Alpine ones worked great...but...I had a hard time getting them out. I even wrote the company to see if they had something with a longer pull pin, nope. The one time I tried them, I had to use a pair of tweezers to get them out. Fat fingers and small ears are a...

    What is the oil capacity of a 2026 S2S? Does it hold more than 5 Qts of oil?

    I've found on mine, 5 liters with filter is the optimal amount. Right to the full mark.

    F3's Plastic panel cracked - anyone else/any ideas how? Anyone who has removed this panel have any advice?

    I put PPF over my frunk lid and both sides where my legs would have eventually rubbed thru. Never thought of that and it's pretty tough styff.

    F3's Plastic panel cracked - anyone else/any ideas how? Anyone who has removed this panel have any advice?

    Never had much luck with epoxy on a thin piece, that's why I was thinking some kind of reinforcement tape on the top. I was considering taking it off and reinforcing the back with epoxy and a screen of some type. Then I figured if I went to that kind of work taking it off, I may as well go with...

    F3's Plastic panel cracked - anyone else/any ideas how? Anyone who has removed this panel have any advice?

    I'm thinking along the same lines but concerned that it may travel to the opposite side of the the filler cap. May see if I can find some sort of black reinforced repair tape to put over the crack.

    F3's Plastic panel cracked - anyone else/any ideas how? Anyone who has removed this panel have any advice?

    Anyone ever have this happen before and any ideas how it happened? It's not a scratch, the plastics cracked all the way thru, it looks as if it'll be a real pia to replace the piece as it's under a bunch of other pieces. Anyone removed this have any advice?
