• 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.

    Grips for Spyder

    Mine still work great with the foam grips on my ‘20 RTL. I road yesterday at 40* F with mechanic’s gloves and I had to turn the grips to low sometimes because they got too warm.

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    Pete, I think your going to run into trouble trying to lower your boards with your Lamonster kit idea. I took a close look under the boards at the brake lever today. The brake arm/lever runs about a 1/2" from the bottom of the boards until in bends up through the cutout opening in the boards...

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    I don't think you "invaded" at all. I just didn't want you to think the info discussed would all necessarily work on your bike.

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    I’m short compared to you at only 6’4”. I came off of a F3 Daytona and F3T. Definitely more leg room on those, but with 3000 miles on my new RTL I have gotten use to less on it. Lots of room to move around on the RT floor boards and you can stand on them at slower speeds and stop signs to...

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    This thread pertains to 2020 & 2021 RT/RTL models. The info probably isn't going to help much on your '15.

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    I like your thinking! (I'm tall too) My concern would be the board hitting the brake lever when it's moved down. I'm going to be watching for your results! Keep us informed. If the splines are too coarse as TIMMB said, it might work with your idea.

    Lower Brake Pedal on 2021 Spyder RTL

    That will work for people of shorter stature, but taller people will lose leg room. However, watching Lamonster's video, it looks like the brake lever is mounted on a splined shaft. I wonder if it could be rotated one spline on the shaft to be lowered. Mine is still in storage, but I plan to...

    Rear Tire Replacement

    I know you done tons of these, maybe hundreds, but I never had to remove the rear fender on my F3 or F3-S(Daytona) to remove my rear wheel. I didn't take the rear shock bolt out either. Just jack it up high enough after pulling the axle and it rolls right out.

    F3L Elka Rear Shock impressions?

    Are you sure your not having issues with your automatic air bag preload suspension? I had a F3-T with the manual air bag preload and rode 2-up w/trailer and we had zero issues with bottoming out.(I'm a big guy) Also, the trailer shouldn't effect the issue because the hitch is on the swingarm...

    Pull behind trailer....

    The description on the manufacturers page definitely says it has a torsion axle. Although I don't own one, I've seen them in person and talked to owners and I think they're great trailers! They look great, tow great, and are built well. Probably better built and stronger than the Freedom Trailer.

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I was fortunate enough to have a friend that does some machining and he made an almost stock looking switch out of aluminum. That was over 5 years and 5 Spyders ago, so I'm afraid I can't give you any more details.

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    That is curious. Perhaps you have a hybrid!;) I think a previous owner did some upgrades. It definitely has ST-S fenders, but it also has yellow upper A-arms. Neither the ST or ST-S had body colored A-arms. It also has 2014 upper side panels. This was a service bulletin upgrade for 2013 models...

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    I believe it's an ST vs ST-S difference, not a SM5 vs SE5 thing. The ST-S came standard with cruise. The ST does not have cruise. I had a 2014 ST SM5 and it didn't have cruise. My friend had a 2014 ST-S SM5 and it had cruise. Are you sure you have an ST-S? I did the same mod as you to ad...

    Where did you put your Pedal Commander on your 2020 RT?

    Very interested to hear your report after you've had a chance to ride!

    What's the shortest FM antenna available for the 2020+ RT?

    I'm pretty sure your antenna comes out of the black plastic on your 2021 RT, not the painted bodywork. You could probably find a black plastic or rubber plug at a auto parts store to fit the hole.
