• 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.

    Good DESS Thread I'm one of the 'lucky' ones with no DESS problems - yet. I still cringe every time I push the starter, have ridden 7,000 miles in 9 months and only ventured more than 200 miles from home this month. That would be 269 miles to Savannah, GA. I read as much as possible about...

    Belt tension

    Tensioner probably varies by machine I installed the SmoothSpyder last week, initially setting the tension at just short of 11 pounds. The vibration was gone at 73 mph, but had some at 50 mph, and some vibration at deceleration. Much better, since the 73 mph range is much more important to me...

    Belt tension

    I've got the PDF BeRight was generous enough to send the TST in PDF format to those requesting it. I'll 'pay it forward' if you send me a private message with your email. I'm not sure how cut and paste of a PDF will work, but let's try it. Hope this posts OK and hope it helps. -Bill The...

    AAA or AMA

    Will anyone answer? It's AAA for me. I was stranded on a desolate road in a drizzling rain just as it turned dark east of Rockport, TX. I had AAA and some type of Honda Owner's Club coverage, and I called Honda first...and second...and third.. No answer so I fell back on AAA and requested a...

    2016 Lower 48, No Interstate Tour

    I'm Subscribed Looking forward to following this awesome trip. I'm not in Facebook, so thanks for making it possible for me to follow along there also. Good luck on no interstates. Going through cities is a pain on surface streets. It is also difficult crossing rivers and bays without...

    Why the Spyder is awesome...

    Another Spyder attribute I agree with all the posts above, but a real plus for me is standing on the pegs at stop lights - I have knees that protest when bent for too long. I can put the Spyder in neutral, engage the parking brake, stand on the pegs and get some relief. -Bill

    waterproof boots

    SIDI for 15 years I saw a review in a motorcycle magazine 15 years ago. They put weights in the tested boots to keep them upright in a bathtub with water higher than the ankles. The SIDI was the only boot that passed the test, so I got a pair. When they wore out, I got another pair, and they...

    How do you remove the radio antena?

    Antenna Replacement I parked mine too close to the garage door, and it snapped when the door closed. I'll try to remove mine and look for a shorty/shortee antenna. I initially planned to forget replacing the antenna, but it looks kind of bad. Thanks for these instructions. -Bill

    I can't make up my mind!!!

    Great point RE: standing on the pegs I too need to stand on the pegs, though not as much on 3 wheels as on 2. I have sat on some F3s and realized that my spine might not take to the feet forward position, but didn't even think about standing on the pegs. Good post - Thanks. -Bill

    Hope you made it I saw your location last night in Lordsburg and it appeared you had time to spare. Then later the location was around Tucson and it looked like you would run out of time. I noticed a west-to-east rider with "slingshot" as a Spot name, and he/she seemed to stop around Yuma. Let...
