• 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.

    Need Helmet Help. Considering HJC & GMax - any issues with either?

    Just FYI, I measure 62cm, and needed a 4XL with the HJM i90. So at least for me, the size charts are WAY off.

    HowTo: Used the water meter hole for Baja Ron bar R&R

    Yes it was hard to describe what I did, and I could have done a better job. I was just mentioning it so others might think outside the box. Honestly, even if I had to dig the 2 foot hole from scratch I still think it would have been easier than raising my Spyder that high. I actually got the...

    HowTo: Used the water meter hole for Baja Ron bar R&R

    I pulled the lid off my water meter hole in my yard, and it appeared to be close to deep enough to get the old sway arm out, and install the Baja Ron. It required just a bit of additional digging, but it worked like a champ. Just thought I'd post it for others to consider, or maybe look for...

    New rider, confession and question

    Much better today. Someone stated that I didn't say how long I had been riding a Spyder, well my ride home from where I met up with the guy I bought it from this past Saturday was my first time ever. I'm sure a lot of it will come with time and practice. When I first started driving a car, it...

    New rider, confession and question

    OK so I will e taking the course for sure, even though they raised the price to $199 in Georgia. Byron is the closest to me, but they have shut down giving the course because they are expanding, and they have massive new construction going on. Perry would be the next closest, but they only have...

    New rider, confession and question

    "Diminishing oscillation" is a perfect way to describe it. Diminishing is good, but I think anyone can see how disturbing this is to new riders. I went through your entire thread explaining what a sway bar is and what it does, but it was years old, so wasn't sure if it still applied to newer...

    New rider, confession and question

    Was out riding yesterday, and I was on what I would call a twisty for the first time. I took a curve around 35-40mph, which was the posted speed limit. I have to admit, the "sensitivity" (for lack of a better word) kind of shocked me. I had gone that speed before, but only on a straightaway. I...

    Difficulty with the reverse button

    Hey Lew, here is what I use, and this is probably where I bought it. This is what I used because I had it on hand, and like I said I was wanting to avoid anything that might gather dirt and debris, possibly making matters worse. There may be better solutions out there, maybe ask for advise at...

    I work with CAN bus systems at work....

    No I don't have BUDs, or the adapter. In fact, I just got my Spyder Saturday. What I do have are several can bus interfaces that I use for work on CT scanners. Most of the higher end interfaces are Raspberry Pi's, with the software loaded on it. I have a ton of experience with them, so the...

    Difficulty with the reverse button

    So the guy made good on delivering my 2017 RTL all the way from West Texas. Believe it or not, it is better than described, and far better than expected. I can not find one thing I am disappointed with. I gave him an eBay feedback that reflected just how happy I am with the way this guy does...

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    Warner Robins. And I saw a Spyder on the street, right here in town yesterday. They say when you go to buy a vehicle, you start seeing them everywhere. Well this is the first one I've ever noticed here.

    Now that's what you call a trailer

    If that was full of gas, could be the first time anyone ever stole a trailer, and left the Spyder.

    I work with CAN bus systems at work....

    Yea, my experience has been the learning curve is more like a huge speed bump. It seems intimidating, and at first nothing works. Then all of a sudden it starts working, and from there you just need to make some sense of what you are seeing. Now I will say that when I'm logging a CAN bus at...

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    Good to know a fellow 17'er. Glad to hear it has gone so well. I like the color of yours, if I'm not mistaken, that color changes a good bit when it goes from bright to dark lighting. Thanks for the offer of advise, I might just take you up on that.

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    Yep, he's been on the road already, and that is the case. He's enjoying the one last hurrah, and he says he's loving the scenery.

    I work with CAN bus systems at work....

    I work on CT scanners for a living, and have done so for many years. That can bus interface they sell for $350 is likely just a Raspberry Pi or something similar. I should have everything I need to at least be able to connect to the bus, and log activity. Definitely going to give it a shot. I...

    Look what I got today

    Yea when I said dealer, I should have specified tire dealer. I've seen the guy in action at my local BRP dealer. No way he's touching mine, except as a last resort. Thanks for the info.

    HowTo: DIY Car tire mounting

    I used balancing beads in my huge RV tires. Are these commonly used in motorcycle tires?

    Look what I got today

    When you guys buy tires online, do you pull the wheels and take them to a dealer, or do you just let them do it all? Also, how reasonable (or not) do you find the prices most places charge to change tires you didn't buy form them?

    (Was Looking to buy... ) Now Have bought this 2017 RTL - Well she's mine!

    We have had 3 RVs through the years, and for the most part, 100K is relatively unheard of. Seems to be a similar situation with most vehicles of a recreational nature. I did have someone who I consider very knowledgeable about these types of vehicles tell me that the ones with the lowest mileage...
