• 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.

    caused a wreck yesterday.......

    The other day a pickem up driver, in the left turn lane, opened his window and started asking me if I "converted a snowmobile". In the mean time, those behind him were honking and yelling. :roflblack: Tripod :joke:

    Changed out my GPS today

    Is the GPS functionality the same in both SM and SE models? Can the affected sensors be identified by a visual inspection...part number, etc.? Thanks in advance for any insight, Tripod :coffee:

    Hindle Question

    I picked up a slightly used Hindle and plan on putting it on soon. I was wondering if there needs to be any alterations made to stock tune by adding the Hindle? Any experience shared would be much appreciated.. Tripod :helpsmilie:

    Comfort Seat Question?

    Draboo, That's great to hear. I think the Comfort Seat is going to work out for me too. We might be riding up to see friends in Mt. Vernon this fall. Perhaps we could meet up for a Starbucks. Tripod :joke:

    Comfort Seat Question?

    The Ultimate Seat Company. They started out making seats for Honda Valkyries. I've had the rider/passenger seats and backrests by them for about 6 years on my Valk trike. They make an outstanding product, I'm glad to hear they may start making them for the Spyder. Tripod :joke:

    Comfort Seat Question?

    Yeah, sure, of course...I just added the Comfort Seat! I've been riding the Ultimate seat for about six years on my Valkyrie. Then, last month, I got the Spyder. I'm really glad to see them come into the Spyder market. There is definitely room for them, and I'm sure I will eventually end up...

    Comfort Seat Question?

    I second that! I added the Comfort Seat and noticed a slight forward pitch, but not as bad as the stock POS. Then, added the 4" risers. Zoowie...what a difference! No leaning forward, no pitching forward, just right. I still have my '01 Valkyrie Interstate trike with the Ultimate seats. There...

    Hindle Help !!

    I purchased a used Hindle and was going to swap it straight out. I saw a video that shows a guy doing just that. Then I read a post where the owner was talking about a new, thinner seal that came with her Hindle...and I've heard that a thin amount of Hi Temp RTV should be used. What do I need to...

    New shock's

    Shockingly bad shocks Unfortunately, a lot of us have found out right away that the suspension system is pretty much the minimum needed to just keep it in the air. Options are limited and you'll find them discussed here if you search the threads. In my opinion, the system offered by...

    mesh jacket

    I've been wearing a black Joe Rocket mid weight textile jacket for several years. If it's cold, I layer up. If it's hot, I open all the vents and wear a Cool Vest under it. A Cool Vest, you soak in water, wring it out and wear next to you...I wear it over a tee shirt. It'll keep you cool for...

    Pipe Wrap

    I'm probably going to wrap the exhaust pipes with DEI titanium wrap. I'd like some opinions about whether to use the snap clamps or the stainless ties. Anyone have experience with one or both over a reasonable amount of time? Thanks for sharing! Tripod :2thumbs:

    Spyder on FIRE

    You said "Zippo"...are you being sarcastic again? Just kidding. Actually, the way I read your post was that you were being "cautious". That's along way from "freaking out. Good job. Tripod :clap:

    Hard turns in the twisties.

    I've noticed the same thing. I too set the springs and upped the tire pressures. Also added Ken Z's sway bar. These things helped a bunch. I was still getting that, what I call "sawing" , in the corners. With a little more seat time I realized that the problem was the stock seat and handlebars...

    Questions from a 2-wheeler

    RodO, The steering/handling can be modified in a lot of ways. I started with adjusting the shocks settings and upping the tire pressures. Both were way off when I took delivery. I also went with the Evoluzione sway bar. Those few things made a lot of difference for me. If you're coming off a...

    Age Question?

    gm10, I'm a north of 60 year old grandpa. My beautiful Valkyrie trike was doomed once I rode a Spyder SE-5. Get the Spyder and join us. Think of it as your own personal fountain of youth...at least you'll feel like it is! Tripod :ohyea:
