• 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.

    Do all Spyders have four way flashers standard?

    I just saw a video of a Spyder with four way flashers going and was wondering if mine does (2012 rt) and I just don't know how to activate them? I did look for the Red Triangle Symbol on the dash area. I guess I should check the owners manual( a large copied binder that the previous owner...

    Snowmobile trailer for hauling

    BEARINGS !!!! & TIRES !!!!!! "CHECK AT EVERY FUEL STOP", "EVERY LETS EAT STOP," "EVERY TIME FOR BEDDY BYE/ NIGHTY NITE STOP!" It shouldn't take 5 minutes to do it each of these stops. Better to be SAFE than SORRY! Burnt bearings &/or axle damage will tie you up a lot longer! I've been...

    I have a 2012 rt. The GF and I went on a ride earlier today. Everything went ok EXCEPT at one point I was in a series of curves and slight up & down elevations and shifting up & down to keep the RPM's in the good area. When I looked down at the instrument cluster to double check what gear I was...

    Preload System Problems? 2012 RT SM5

    I believe,pretty much sure, that I have a leak in the preload shock/air bag system in my RT. Filled it to 70 PSI and let it sit, just weight of the bike/trike itself for five hours. Perssure dropped from the 70 to 32 in about four hours. I checked the Schrader valve and made sure the center pin...

    Why is my RT Bottoming Out?

    Rear Shocks? Are these shocks you mentioned like a Shock/Spring unit? Could one of my o.e.m. shocks gone bad or have a leak in them? The ride seemed fine for quite a while and after having a rear tire changed by a dealer it seemed to bottom out even with just me by myself riding?

    Oh WOW!

    I saw a post that mentioned a "two up Shock!" Do they really make one & where can I get a pair of rear ones? See previous post" Bottoming Out!"

    Goldwing Windshield Vent on stock Spyder Shield?

    I have heard that this can be done, with care, but just saw a post about how the curvature of the vent and the curve of the windshield have enough of a difference to make it not really worth attempting.How about it? Any attempts and successes or attempts and failures? I have the vent, just don't...
