• 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.

    Spyder, reputation for unreliability?

    Have any of you heard anything like this? In the complex, where my shop is, there is a motorcycle rental outfit. I've gotten to know the owners and the other day I was talking with them and I asked if they had considered renting out CanAm Spyders (they've seen mine before). The reply shocked...

    Ken's Meet-N-Eat Get Togeather

    I'll have my Spyder with me at Canebrake (San Diego County CA desert) for the next two weeks, if anyone wants to try to get together for a ride. I also always have one of my Yamaha dual-sport conversion trikes at my place in Canebrake (see profile photo). Thursday (3/5) I'll be riding my...

    trunk light

    My God - why didn't I think of that! I have used several of those "stick-on lights" in places where I needed a quick but short time period light. I never thought of using one on the lid of my Spyder trunk. I'm going to do that tomorrow!

    Cargo Straps

    Cyanoacrylate (super glue, crazy glue, instant glue, etc.). Sorry, I build & fly model airplanes and in that hobby we use the term "CA adhesive" so frequently that I tend to forget that not everyone would know what that means.

    Cargo Straps

    I've had good results, when I've mounted a webbing strap to a bolt, by using the metal grommet application kit, that I bought at an ACE hardware store. I use the punch in the kit to make the hole, then I seal the webbing around the hole by either melting it with a soldering iron or better yet...

    Trikester's mods

    I'm a low mod guy, just two so far. Maybe I could convince you that the trike shown in my profile is my highly modified Spyder. Then, I also have a bridge to sell. :D #1 - Factory 1" riser (I'm 6' 3") #2 - Hand Brake, hydraulic operated, based (with some of my changes) on the original mod...

    Windshield decision

    I thought this difference in the plastics was commonly known but thanks for the good demo video in case there are some who didn't know. Bullet proof windows have been made out of thicker polycarbonate for many years now. I can't imagine that anyone would make a windscreen out of any plastic...

    trailering

    I have the big Kendon folding trailer. It's 6' x 8' and I can ride the Spyder up the ramps on level ground. When not in use the back folds up, tip the trailer upright and casters on the folded end allow you to roll it up against the garage wall (standing upright). This trailer is expensive but...

    Quick stops, how to steady yourself?

    Ah, that brings back memories. On an antique club ride I was on my '54 AJS in city traffic. We were just about to cross an intersection with the green light. Suddenly there was a fire engine coming on the cross street and they switched the light to red. I was braking with both my front hand...

    Windshield decision

    I was on the waiting list for the CHAD before it was available. I didn't like it when Industries 7 said I would have to e-mail my credit card number to them, because of the insecurity of e-mail. However, with much trepidation I e-mailed all of my shipping, contact, and credit card information...

    SpyderRyder membership card

    I got the card a long time ago and I can't find anything I can use it for. It doesn't even work for BRP's web forum. I don't bother to carry it in my wallet.

    A New Saga

    I like that shot of your rig with Morro Rock in the distance! :2thumbs: Good luck with your steering problem. I hope your dealer works out OK for you.

    Test Ride Results

    I have always wished that my Spyder had a lower 1st gear and a lower reverse gear. I like the other gears OK.

    Picked up my spare relay

    Autozone I printed Lamonster's posted photo and took it to Autozone to get my spare relay. That made it real easy, just handing the photo showing the part number to the sales clerk. Unfortunately, the bin where that part was supposed to be was empty. The clerk wrote down the part number and...

    Picked up my spare relay

    How does one know when there is a problem with the relay as opposed to some other cause of a malfunction? It would be very useful to be able to quickly diagnose a relay problem and put in the spare and in the right position as well.

    First time poster

    welcome :clap: AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PROFILE PHOTO, I WAS A "TADPOLE TRIKE" ENTHUSIAST BEFORE I CAME TO THE SPYDER. Some people call these "reverse trikes" but I think it should be the norm. Unfortunately, being used to the ground clearance of my Yamaha dual-sport trike conversions has led...

    w00t, w00t!

    What is that strange white stuff on the ground? I don't understand. Oh, maybe that is what I see way up on the distant mountains. Had to wear my Spyder jacket to ride today. A storm went through here last night and the temperature only got up to about 60 today. Brrr!

    Be thankful if you have a good Spyder Dealer

    Maybe I should consider taking mine there for the next service. I bought mine at Mission Motorsports in Irvine (near the 5 freeway). I was very unhappy with how much they added to the MSRP when I took delivery, and when I had the first service they didn't even give me a list of what they did...
