• 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.

    Has anyone found good Hand/Wind protectors for late model RT-L's? Any thoughts/suggestions?

    These bolt right on to my 2020 RT handlebars. Throttle-side depth is ~3/8 in but holds fine. Been on my RT since 2020. Are there no threads on 24+ bars?

    https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/barkbusters-storm-s7-single-sided-handguard-kit-6mm-8mm-threaded-end-inserts?sku_id=1655643 This is what I have on my '20 RT.

    Question for experienced Spyder owners - New F3 vs Used?

    I'll offer another reason to buy USED. She is a new rider and has no experience yet. Most newbies need to learn what they like and dislike which doesn't take long. If you buy used, you can unload it for minimum loss and then buy the NEW dream bike.

    Installing a Lamonster Belt Tensioner - are there any parts underneath that need to be removed?

    There are 3 'poppers' (plastic rivets) along the top that join the top panel. The panel needs to flex/bow out as you coax it forward/upward from behind the case. You'll need to remove the floorboard and passenger peg and free the bottom somewhat to aid in the bow. The bottom 'clips' are tight...

    After 3 years of planning, I am riding Route 66 starting June 8

    Sorry for your wife's condition and the loss of your 'best friend'. Congrats on completing that bucket list item! My Rt66 plan fell thru this year :( but I haven't given up hope. Stay well and hang in there!

    Random thought for the day

    Re: Custer, When I was ~14, my family was going to visit friends in South NJ. We saw a sign saying, "Custard's Last Stand - 2 miles". My parents were excited that we were going to see a famous landmark - until I pointed out that Custer's Stand was in Montana.

    Installing a Lamonster Belt Tensioner - are there any parts underneath that need to be removed?

    Unless you are a magician, you will need to remove the large front-to-back black panel as well. It looks a lot worse than it is. I usually remove the small black panel 1st as well.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    This has become another oil/tire circle-jerk! :rolleyes: Wear what YOU believe is enough protection and enjoy the ride! To each, their own!

    Finally gonna finish my 48 State tour!

    I've run the full BRP 4 or 5 times - different bikes each time. Skyline only once because there are plenty of 'local' roads for bypass. FYI, if you are a Vet, you can get a lifetime Natl Park pass for $12 which includes Skyline.

    Do you get wet riding in the rain?

    Rukka gear is expensive but worth the price. Buy once, cry once.

    Finally gonna finish my 48 State tour!

    BRP is 469 miles of North, South, East, West thru the SouthEast Mountains with no cross traffic and beautiful vistas. Add in Skyline Drive at the North end for another 109 miles. A great way to access the Smokey's playground for us carpet baggers!

    Motoeye HUD - anyone share their experiences?

    That's been around a while. I would find that distracting. I want all the clear vision I can get.

    Finally gonna finish my 48 State tour!

    JUST DO IT WHILE YOU'RE ABLE! Tomorrow never comes. I find long tours on the RT to be much easier than my previous 2-wheel sport-tourers. At 80, I still look forward to KSU (oxymoron?) and getting away from the day-to-day BS. I still need the left coast and NDAK to complete my bingo card but I...

    Do you get wet riding in the rain?

    If there is a chance of rain before I gear up, I wear 100% GORETEX jacket, pants, boots, gloves. On non-summer trips, I only wear GORTEX gear. My mesh gear and backup rain gear are for local summer runs. I stay dry and the GORTEX breathes. Rainsuits get VERY steamy and you have to guess when to...

    Do you get wet riding in the rain?

    Based on my personal experiences I found the faster I go on my RT, the more rain gets blown past/over the cockpit 'bubble'. Going slow/stopped will still drench you.
