• 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.

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    Here's a few more pictures, closer up. I could only get to the right side mirror, because my bike is stored in our garage, and the left side is up against a wall. Sorry for the dust! It's covered, but still gets dusty! Hope this helps! GOSH! Sorry these came out so BIG!!!

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    Well, everything is all put back together, and it would be difficult and pretty time-consuming to remove them. Also, the wiring for the turn signals would have to be disconnected and removed in order to remove the extensions from the bike. My husband has long since thrown away the wooden...

    Custom Seat Skin

    Greg H. - That's what I thought too. I'm not uncomfortable on the stock seat, I just don't like the look of it. It looks like it'll cost approx. $548 for the driver and passenger Corbin seats. I'm very confused! :banghead:

    Custom Seat Skin

    You're probably right. What do you think of the Corbin seat? It seems most people on this forum who have one, really like it. A LOT more $$$ though!

    Custom Seat Skin

    I'm thinking of getting the custom seat skin -- not too crazy about the look of the stock seat. To those of you who have purchased the seat skin, how well do you like it? Does it fit well? Thanks.

    Rubber Straps for mono seat cowling?

    Probably a stupid question, BUT: I'm thinking of getting a Corbin seat for my Spyder. Is it possible to get the mono seat cowl for the passenger portion and then just get the Corbin driver seat? OR does the mono seat cowl just cover the existing passenger seat?? I can't tell by the...

    low cost rain suit

    FroggToggs are GREAT! We've used them for years when riding our Goldwing Trike. VERY comfortable and lightweight, but will keep you DRY. They go through the washer just fine too. They don't take up much storage space either, which is great when you're traveling. They come with a little...

    Third Brake Light

    GREAT idea! Think we'll do that on mine! (By "we" I mean my husband! lol!)

    ANOTHER DUMB QUESTION

    We have one on our Goldwing Trike. Got it at a Honda rally. I think the vendors who sell these usually have booths at motorcycle rallies. I've never seen them for sale on line, but I'll bet someone else has! (I just noticed others have answered your post. Ours is a kind of metal with the map...

    ATTN ST LOUIS, MO AREA SPYDERLOVERS

    Thanks for posting the info. We're south of St. Louis, In Arnold, MO, quite a ways from Alton! Going up the Great River Road and visiting Ted's is usually a weekend day trip for us! 7:00 p.m. is a little late for us old folks; however, we'll be with you in spirit!:cheers:

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    Thanks everyone -- we appreciate all the nice comments! nickcaro: My husband says that he doesn't really have any plans to make the mirror extensions. They were mostly hand made, not machine made, so lots of time involved. Luckily for me, I have an "in" with the designer and manufacturer...

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    You LUCKY pup! We're outside of St. Louis and it got up to 50 today, but there's still a ton of snow on the ground. If it gets up to 60 or so next weekend, we're RIDING!! :clap: I know lots of people ride no matter how cold it gets -- guess I'm too old and puny for that! :rolleyes:

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    I think the Kewlmetal extensions are 2". This wouldn't have been enough of an extension for me. The ones my husband made take the mirrors out approximately 3-1/2" and up approximately 2-1/2". The "up" part is from mounting blocks, which he also made. The original wires were long enough to...

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    THANKS! ksdaile: I asked him and he said he used aluminum billet. I remember he made rough ones out of wood first, just to see if his design would work. Hope this helps!

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    THANKS! He was going to powder coat them black, but when we saw how neat it looked in silver, with my Spyder being silver, decided to use a clear powder coat. Yes, think I'll keep him! We've been married 37 years now -- he's just gotten broken in REAL GOOD! :clap:

    Custom Mirror Extensions

    My husband installed the 4" NMN handlebar risers a few months ago, and the first thing I noticed (along with everyone else, I imagine) was that I now had a real nice view of my gloved hands. :mad: So over the winter, my husband designed and fabricated some mirror extensions and installed them...

    Locking Handlebars

    I always lock my handlebars when parking away from home, just as an extra precaution. Parking brake on, lock handlebars, key out is my routine. They lock the same way as a "regular" motorcycle. The Spyder is SO attractive to people, like a magnet! Ever walk out to the parking lot and...

    OffTopic- PayPal Question

    IT'S A SCAM!!!! I use PayPal all the time for eBay. I will occasionally get scam e-mails that look EXACTLY like they came from PayPal -- they DIDN'T! You should report them to PayPal. When someone offers you more for the item than you're asking, that's a dead giveaway that it's a scam! Do...

    Spirit Bell

    We have Spirit bells (also called Gremlin bells) on all our bikes, including my Spyder. Any Harley dealer usually has a wide array of these bells with many different designs to choose from. They're usually about $10 and come in a little pouch with the story of the bell. Mine is silver with...

    anybody have insurance with AAA?

    We have Foremost/AARP also. We're insuring our Harley Street Glide, Goldwing Trike, my Spyder and my MP3 scooter (until we sell the scooter). They gave us the best deal around here (we're in Missouri). Our insurance comes due in February, so only paid a partial amount when I got my Spyder in...
