• 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.

    BajaRon got it right with his sway bar... no more bump steer!

    We have been recommending for about 7 years. :roflblack: The BIG difference is the links! Try moving those bearings in the OEM, look at the then try and compare the BajaRon's. You'll immediately understand the difference! AJ

    Review: Cobra HH RT 50 CB Radio - ROAD TRIP

    I should have mentioned that the power dongle is connected to a water resistant lighter socket that is installed directly above the left front speaker and directly connect to the battery terminals via a fused hot lead. AJ

    Review: Cobra HH RT 50 CB Radio - ROAD TRIP

    It's not often, I start a new thread, in fact it's very rare, but considering there had been some threads lately about CB use with the Spyder I thought it might be good to give a bit of an initial review. I'd been using a Midland 75-822 for almost 7 years with the Sena SR10. Have always used...

    Is this a safe way to tow a Ryker

    My point is, unlocking the steering column on a car will ALLOW the wheels on the car to move! AJ

    Is this a safe way to tow a Ryker

    So enlighten me. Seriously. On ever auto I've needed towed that was towed from the rear, the driver has ALWAYS asked me to "unlock" the steering column. Why would a Spyder be any different? Tnx AJ

    How often do you upgrade/replace your helmets?

    10-12 years BUT - I continually rotate wearing my 3 helmets. The spring/fall gets replaced the most. When the internals start to wear or degrade I replace, OR if dropped on a hard surface. IS that what you mean by cosmetic? AJ

    Do you feel the Can-Am course benefited you significantly* ??

    N/A - was no course when I purchased. Gave them my UltraGlide and rode off on the RT. AJ

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    I loved going in to their Boston Store as a kid. It was located near the old Boston Braves Stadium. AJ

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    LOL He made his share of Heathkits! Our first stereo, a HAM Radio 6M rig, and more, but the CB was literally from scratch using a design from a magazine called Popular Electronics. My Dad was an Electronics Engineer for Raytheon and helped develop the Hawk Missile System. AJ

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    Moving it away gives a better/uniform ground plane and is the most important factor in gaining real distance - on the flats. Yes,top load antennas "would" be better. But as you travel 70 mph down the highway, were would the antenna and that load be? Certainly not up in the air! :lecturef_smilie:

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    My Dad was one of the "original" CBers back in the 50s. He had one of those connected to the bumper with bike chains and a big coil spring at the back of his 59 Rambler! :roflblack: His "mobile was built from scratch and channels were changed by switching out crystals. They didn't even have 40...

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    One thing I completely forgot about and never tried. That external 12V plug also includes a connector for an external connector if I remember. The interference "COULD" be that end being open and not connected. He could try picking up a dummy load and connecting it to the open cable end, but that...

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    Not an accurate answer. Length "can" increase distance, but not in handheld antennas. They will give you a larger transmission and reception area, but not range. The reason is shorter antennas are typically loaded. This loading is required to make the antenna look like a quarter wavelength...

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    ALL CBs are only 4 watts, unless you get inside and peak tune the finals. 4 watts is the "legal" limit for AM xmission with 12 W on side band xmission. AJ

    Do you want a CB RADIO on your SPYDER ?

    That is correct. The Midland is a Great Portable CB, but once connected to an MC battery, all bets are off and not just Spyders. I've tried all types of isolation but nothing seems to help enough I use the large "empty case" filled with rechargeable 2800 mHa NiMH batteries and when kept to...
