• 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.

    Removing stock whip antenna from 2015RTL

    I eventually gave up and took it into the dealer. They worked at it for 15 minutes or so to find a wrench the right size that would fit down the hole ... I replaced it with an invisible antenna I bought off of ebay. The AM/FM tuner works BETTER with this invisible one than the original one...

    I converted to LEDs as well. I love them. They are much brighter, I warn anyone interested in converting it takes some patience to get the lids back on. But they are worth the frustration ..

    Your Spyder can hop an Axe at 65 MPH

    Holy Cow that axe was laying cross-ways and there was NO WAY to avoid running over it no matter how you maneuver it. I have practiced letting some road imperfection run between my two up front tires and yet missing the rear tire. I can do it quite readily on my right side but fail miserably...

    Recurring dead battery

    Why don't you try a different battery other than one describe as "from China". Maybe even a whole new technology. Try a non-flooded battery like a "odessy". You may pay several times the price of the battery "from China" but it holds a charge like nothing else ...

    headlight bulb

    For what it is worth the replacement ID for the LED for the headlight on a 2014 RT is "9005" and for the fog lights it is "H8". It really completes the deal if you change out the fog lights at the same time. The resulting curtain of light is awesome ...

    Washington ferries (boats)

    I just finished a ferry ride up Canada's West Coast from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert. $425.00 plus an extra $120.00 for the cabin. The ordingary seating was available at no extra cost and looked like very comfortable lounge chair seating. But I thought you only live once ... It was a 16...

    cup holders

    The RAM cup holder is MUCH less expensive at $19.95 ... The key to it is its "swivel". I can literally take a corner at top speed and the thing keeps every drop in your cup. RAM Level Cup™ Drink Holder with Koozie http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-132BU

    Would You Go Back?

    Dan, Hayrog, and all ... my knees went in an industrial accident when I was 17 years old. Two compound fractures with LOTs of bone missing in the dirt of the factory floor ... When the surgeons were done (finally after my 21st birthday) my one leg is about 1" shorter than my other leg and...

    I went all the way to eliminate the external antenna altogether. Its reception as a hidden antenna is just as good as a regular antenna. Now does anyone have a good idea how to plug the hole ... :roflblack...

    Power washer

    I totally agree. The darn thing is near waterproof. Of course you need to be practical and not put the full force of a power-washer on the dash or gauges. But the day I am convinced to stop using a power-washer ... DOH!

    Baja Ron anti-sway bar causes chatty Nanny

    Right after taking delivery of my 2014 RT I knew I needed to change the suspension. Some corners were downright scary. I have ridden bikes for 50 years and I had never been uncertain about hitting a corner at the wrong speed or had to bail out of a turn just to be safe ... First I...
