• 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.

    Do you get wet riding in the rain?

    I don't ride if it's going to rain, but then me and the wife can't do any long distance trips anyway, taking care of my 96 year old bed bound Mom. Only able to ride around 1 to 2 hours once a week weather permitting when my sister stops by for a few hours.

    Conventional vs Reverse Trike Discussion

    The long time Harley dealer here, went Can-Am, but only side by side, no 3 wheel Can-Am's. But he had a Spyder as a trade in. He Told Me, " I took it out and rode it, as I a Harley Dealer, i would never had said, this. But the Spyder makes the Harley trike ride and handle like a Dump Truck".

    Anyone ever mounted a RAM ball directly to handle bars?

    Here is what I use, it can accept different sized balls/attachments in 3 different areas on the mount. But my bars are different on the 2013 Spyder - -

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    I will reiterate, I'm of the old school, use the trip odometer, reset to 0 when I fill up then refill around 100-120 Miles. Don't put much stock in the gauge.

    Thinking of switching to a Spyder, any others jumped from their Harley's to Spyders? Any advice welcome...

    The long time Harley dealer in town became a Can-Am dealer, but only Side by sides. He told me they did take in a used Spyder and he test drove it. In his words "When I was a Harley dealer I would not have admitted this, but the Spyder makes the Harley trike ride and handle like a dump truck".

    What is this head sensor for - oil, coolant, head temp? Any ideas/help?

    Yep, looked at service manual under EFI section, and that is definitely the coolant sensor. So the oil is from elsewhere. finis

    What is this head sensor for - oil, coolant, head temp? Any ideas/help?

    I can see that it looks like some oil is seeping out the back of the valve cover, but there is no way I can access the one cover bolt in that area unless I remove the fuel tank, and that ain't happening. But that oil is not making its way to this location. Yes, I could try removing the plug off...

    What is this head sensor for - oil, coolant, head temp? Any ideas/help?

    This unit (in the pics) on my 998cc has oil all over it and the wires coming out of it. The oil has been weeping down the side of the engine from it. But if it is a water temp sensor, this makes no sense. I did clean it and the area off with contact cleaner, so it's not obvious in the photo's...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    Bingo, it's a bilstein blacked out with M2 Logo over it, and I now have a 9 inch spring rather than the 6 inch, could only get the 9 inch rated at 550 instead of 500. - -
