• 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.

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    2023 RT-L 7500 miles no mechanical problems... Just needed to adjust the rear latch.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Balanced the front tires and tightened all of the fender mounting hardware... I can't feel the shake from my bike, but I noticed a little bit of a rattle from the front last trip when we used her bike to tour around small towns. Was also a bit disappointed that they only static balance the...

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    The air bag is a completely separate system as I understand it, but it's been a bit since I really looked at it? The bag just inflates as loads are added to level the rear, so why couldn't you have both?

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    The more we ride and run out if paved roads to explore, the more my wife is realizing the RTL is limiting opportunities. I could see a Red Rock in the future assuming it could be made comfortable enough.

    After almost 5 months of jerking around with M2 and pulling the plug just before he announced shutting down, we can finally move forward! It only took 7 months from the start of this project, and now riding season is pretty much over... Elka came through and delivered ahead of schedule. The...

    Have any of you added an Aux Tank to a 2020+ RT?

    I've been collecting parts for the wife's RTL for the 3gal aux tank install, but I ran into a bit of a snag we had not thought through which became apparent on our last trip. I had initially planned to just mount the vertical tank to the left passenger footboard mount, since she never carries a...

    M2 shocks closing doors in 2 weeks! Announced 1st week of Sept '24.

    If you don't want to potentially clog up the internet with the wrong info, you are welcome to PM me. Sounds like quite a few people here have selected M2 and the positive feedback combined with discussions with Marcus is what led me to choose him over one of the other options to start with...

    M2 shocks closing doors in 2 weeks! Announced 1st week of Sept '24.

    Willing to share the part #'s? In my conversations with Marcus, he complained about all the leak problems he had with the Bilstein bearing head assemblies and had found something that would work much better. Not sure if that was truth or BS since he never delivered our shocks, but I could guess...

    Thanks for your input! Are you riding stage 2's? Seems most go for stage 2's, and they are pretty easy to come by.

    What are the Differences between '20+ F3 Limited and '20+ RT Limited???

    I remember the things that stood out to me while I was trying to pick a bike for my wife was RTL had more ground clearance/wheel travel, larger luggage, better wind protection, foot boards instead of footpegs, and the air leveling. We do long days, sometimes multi days in the saddle over rougher...

    Looking for info/advice from those who have RT Replacement Shocks...

    Something I'd like to add in addition to Peter's great explanation of how the rear air assist system works... The rear spring rate (on the shock itself) should be selected to reach a goal of the correct ride height with the rider (maybe both riders if your bike always has a passenger) and all...

    Yes, it looks/sounds like there will be quite a few of us that are going through the same thing. I too wanted to support a USA based business, sole proprietor, and fellow enthusiast. As Clover pointed out, he said he was working on the Harley shocks, but in a previous video from last week or...

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    Well, that escalated quickly... I wasn't going the throw Marcus at M2 under the bus just yet because I believed he would come through with shocks or at least a refund. He announced tonight that he is finished and I'm uncertain as to whether we will get a refund at this point. His update video -...

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    If I did the Elka's, Stage 2 is the minimum requirement for us, but stage 3 gains low speed compression adjust which would be nice for varying loads and extreme ambient temps swings We ride 25-110°F. I can manually re-valve for the high speed should it be too soft/firm out of the box if I feel...

    I only see a front offering from Icon? They are also a twin tube design which I'm not a big fan of. I prefer an IFP design for better control in the chop because they don't cavitate.

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    Yes, I have the Ultra Baja Ron's bar... It's in the first post. Yes, it made a huge difference, but damping is definitely lacking with the stock shocks. The proper spring rates are certainly a better experience. I'm not scared off by the cost of the Wilburs, but having to deal with an importer...

    Anyone use (turtle wax) hybrid solution ceramic wax on windshield?

    I use the Turtlewax Hybrid stuff on everything! The polish/wax on the paint. The detailer on the paint, glass, and rubber after every wash. The carwash to keep it going and not strip the coating. It seems to attract dust a little more, but the bags wash right off, and the dirt sheets off with...

    Hi guys and gals... First post here I think, but I have been lurking on and off for years until earlier this year, when my wife let me pull the trigger on a new 2023 RTL this Spring so that she can join me in my life-:long riding hobby. Right away, I noted how poorly damped these things are...

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    If money and storage were no object, we would put a Red Rock in the fleet! The wife chases me around on a lot of rougher backroads and the 9/10" travel and additional ground clearance would really come in handy! Light gravel use could be a plus as well?
