• 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.

    NEWBIE

    i am not sure how, but i am not uncomfortable on the :spyder: at all. i am 6' and find it has enough legroom for me with stock grips (even though i want those sweet spiderweb medallion floorboards) and only using the BRP 1" riser. and i weigh a touch over 300 lbs and find the seat comfy enough...

    First Ryde

    thanks, but i mean i even lean for 13 mph turns (usually sharpish in neighborhoods - and these i lean a lot for). once i am on an open road and just hitting "standard" turns in the road its more of a slight lean. i have intentionally avoided "rush hours" because i go to work around 3PM at the...

    First Ryde

    thanks, i will try that tomorrow. of course knowing me i will accidentally turn on the hazard lights (like i did yesterday while getting on). since i am doing slow speed stuff in the neighborhood and then going to a parking lot i have still only put about 82 miles on her even though i have been...

    First Ryde

    yeah, i hope so. i find i still want to go s l o w in turns, at least the "sharper" ones. and almost always lean into a turn, even slight ones. probably because at 305 lbs i don't want to run the risk of my fat butt stressing out the stability controller (and it going on strike LOL). i also...

    Carbon Fiber Wrap Opinion

    is funny, since i suck at all things electrical, i just got my dealer to open business accounts with one or two of this sites sponsors so i can get my dealer to order form them and install..... sadly that way our sponsors may make less on my individual purchase but if my dealer gets a little...

    First Ryde

    today my :spyder2: finally came home! it got here about 11:40 AM so i proceeded to suit up (or should i say gear up?) and get on the road around noon! i had not ridden since 87/88 so i started real slow in the neighborhood. yep, i even started with the slow speed stop/starts it suggests in the...

    NEWBIE

    one of the reasons i bought a :spyder2: was that it had an available semi-automatic transmission. over the years i have dislocated both knees a few times and football and some of my hobbies weren't too nice to my body. now i randomly have severe problems with wrists, ankles, knees and elbows...

    helmits

    i'm a new ryder too but i bought 2 helmets because i love the differences in each. both have different strengths and weaknesses. Nolan N43 Trilogy.can be open face, full, etc. tends to fog a bit more but has many different style options. has exhaust vents to make overall airflow good. face...

    New Ryder questions about addons

    thanks. if i knew lengths i could also change it up, i think the bottom ones are too short, so really want 2 "top" and 2 "middle" legs to make my 8 leg design. of course all this it moot until i have the coin to go ahead and make the purchase, which may be 1-4 months. also, talked to shop...

    SpyderWolf's Mods

    thanks for the response! if you re-watch your original video you will see when you turned on the TricRings there was a significant increase in light on the ground (mostly closer to the front end sides) but any increase in visible area at night is good. look forward to seeing the new video with...

    A few observations, if I may.

    i know it won't fix the problems with your 08 :spyder2: but they did upgrade the engine mounts for the '11s to reduce overall vibration..... so if you really wanna try out the new improvements i am sure your dealer will let you take a test ryde.
