• 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.

    HELP, Need some insight from the Spyder Big Brains regarding 2011 RT to RSS bar swap

    Well as the title states I'm looking to swap the handlebars from a 2011 RT to a 2011 RSS (SE5) and need to determine if it is possible without major modification. I've searched the forums and found several posts regarding folks making the swap on 2013 and newer models but can't seem to find any...

    Rivco CA020-WO Floorboards - My Impressions

    Wrap-Up... Decided I like the change in riding position and overall feel of the Rivco floorboards. Since I'm keeping them today's project became finalization of the install which entails cutting the OEM brake and installing the brake extender, and refinishing the paint to match the black...

    Rivco CA020-WO Floorboards - My Impressions

    Thanks for the feedback Jerry, Ill certainly install the break extender "if" I keep the floorboards... Just didn't want to take the angle grinder to the pedal before I was sure... I agree the installation wasn't difficult, I just have issues with a company like Rivco putting out a...

    Rivco CA020-WO Floorboards - My Impressions

    I installed the Rivco CA020-WO Driver Floorboard on my 2011 RSS today. I'm holding off installing the ISCIRIDE.com brake extender until I'm sure I'm pleased with the floorboards since the installation requires a level of modification which can't be undone without replacing the entire OEM brake...

    Sena 20 Speaker upgrade

    One last item..... in your original post you mentioned a "blue" wire you suspected was something to do with the FM reception.... Any negative effects from cutting this blue wire to splice in the new speakers ? How far back from the original speakers did you make your splice ??? Details or...

    Sena 20 Speaker upgrade

    Replacement speakers question... Are the speakers you reference plug and play like the original ones that come in the kit or are they just the speakers that would have to be soldered in place ? What's the cost and lead time ? Thanks !

    SENA SM10 Bluetooth Dongle

    Yep, Sena 20s Been using the 20s for over a year now... Love the features and performance has been awesome. Only issue has been pairing with non-Sena products but have been able to overcome the issue each time if we are willing to stop and take the time to work it.:thumbup:

    Drive belt vibration, my impression !

    Simple Tension meter To get the most life out of your belt the simple tension meter is what i believe should be every DIYers basic tool for performing this task. It an easy adjustment and one that can improve your ride by reducing belt vibration and extend the life of your drive belt...

    Blue tooth comm units

    Our expirence with Sena 20S... Our group (5 riders typical) bought the Sena 20S for the long list of capabilities. Now one thing about all the capabilities is that it increases the complexity required to utilize those functions.... With great power comes great responsibility ! You have to read...

    Drive belt vibration, my impression !

    Overly complex ok, I looked Over the products and reviewed the process... It sure seems overly complex and ridiculously subject to induced error in making the measurement.... A 10lb tension meter and a a set belt deflection seems a much more accurate method Of obtaining a repeatable...

    Drive belt vibration, my impression !

    So I've noticed a vibration for some time in that area between decelerating and acellerating while cruising along... Read a number of the forums here on Spyder Lovers and decided a Belt tensioner might be required. Read all the forums and watched a few of the YouTube videos on the smoothspyder...

    Maintenance time...

    Pretty straight forward procedures... JT, If you have the maintenance manual it covers the process in pretty clear detail....(if not they are available on eBay cheap). Yours sounds like it was in pretty much the same condition as mine and I was able to correct all of my slack at the throttle...

    Maintenance time...

    Wrapping is worthwhile ! Im pretty pleased with the results... Took a few days for the odor to disapate but it's fine now and the heat reduction on the left side is noticible. I'd say the bang for the buck is pretty good !:thumbup:

    Maintenance time...

    I purchase the spyder early this spring with only 3800 miles on it. I've got 4500 on it currently. I had just purchased a brand new 2015 Honda Interstate and in the process helped a friend buy a spyder.... Wasn't long after my purchase and riding my friends spyder that I got the itch... Traded...
