• 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.

    Auto Clutch Damage

    5000 rpms is the sweet spot for me also, but I start getting some belt harmonic vibrations around that rpm too. Gets frustrating cruising on the hwy at 70 and the belt starts sending vibrations through the spyder. I may have to get a belt tensioner, but that is for a different thread.

    Blocking both right side vents

    I've been wondering about this type of solution. If the air was funneled straight back and down instead of to the side, I think it would be a much better solution. I don't have a way to fabricate something like that, but I've been trying to find something that would work.

    Blocking both right side vents

    So when you have both block of plates installed, the long panel that is below the seat gets hot? Since you removed the bottom block off plate, I'm guessing you left the top one installed. What did you do to try and vent the hot air when both block off plates were installed?

    Blocking both right side vents

    SpyderPops is a vendor on the "Home" page of this forum. He is a forum supporter and has several mods that he sells for spyders. http://www.spyderpops.com/ Keep us updated on how your spyder is holding up with both plates installed. There has to be a reason why BRP didn't close those holes off...

    And now we wait.....

    I don't know what they were going for at Spyderfest, but the shocks have changed since then. The Stage 1+ now has an aluminum body for lighter weight and better cooling. The price has gone up about $50 over the version sold at Spyderfest. I think the retail on the older version was $695 with the...

    Travel cover and seal floorboards

    Looking forward to hearing about your new spacer. I'm using the steel nuts that came with the Seal FloorBoards and they works fine, but if the new spacer is an improvement, I'm definitely interested. I also use the passenger boards to attach the travel cover. No issues with keeping the cover on...

    Now she's legal

    Congrats!!! I'm trying to convince my wife to get her endorsement. She didn't want anything to do with it when I had my Road King, but now that I have 3 wheels, she is considering it. :thumbup: If she gets her license, I'll have to get a second spyder so we can both ride.

    And now we wait.....

    I was considering the Stage 5 for the added adjustability and the reservoir. I called Elka to get their opinion on their shocks for the RT. The salesman told me he could sell me the Stage 5, but on an RT, I wouldn't get any additional benefit over the Stage 1+. He said that for the average...

    Spyder RT Passenger Armrest sales ends tonight!

    I'm still on the fence about getting armrests. The price is good, but I'm still looking for the right armrest. At first my wife thought that she needed them to help hold her in place when she isn't holding the grab handles, but after riding on the spyder for a while, she thinks that she can do...

    block off plate: Is it just me?

    I'm still running stock right now, but as I said in a prior post, I'm going to install the lower block off plate, cat heat shield, and air wings to help manage the heat. In the stock configuration, I can "deal" with the heat because I wear riding gear. The riding gear helps isolate me...

    block off plate: Is it just me?

    Looking forward to your response. I just received the lower block off plate and cat shield from SpyderPops along with the Baker Air Wings today in an attempt to manage some of the heat. If your solution works, I'll order the upper block off plate too. I ordered a Kontour seat to help with...

    New Elka Shock Offering?

    I ordered a set of Elka Stage 1+ shocks from my local dealer and I can't wait to get them installed. My stock RT shocks are already set at the highest setting and it isn't enough adjustment for me. :thumbup:

    Any Videos on Seal Floorboards install

    Fortunately for me, my wife is taller and can reach the Seal FloorBoards. We both use the Seal FloorBoards and I keep the passenger boards folded up. If she wants to change her leg position, the passenger boards are always another option because they are still a couple of inches higher up...

    Right vent heat problem

    I just received my SpyderPops stuff, so I'm going to be doing the same heat mods. Although I'm still not sure if I want to drill holes like you did or remove both bottom panels. I know removing the bottom panels will allow more engine noise, but it will be easier to change the oil. I'm also...

    Beautiful seat. If the comfort is as good as it looks, you should be in total bliss riding on it. :thumbup:

    Any one with Order Delays at Kewl Metal

    Matt, I wasn't trying to take my frustrations out on you or your company. My initial post that you responded too, was in response to companies in general that have bad customer service and/or bad business practices. I've never done business with you until recently. I placed an order with you...

    Right vent heat problem

    :agree: With a good pair of riding boots, you will feel the heat, but it won't burn you or become unbearable. The spyder is so easy to ride, that a lot of people are going without the proper riding gear. It is convenient to ride in shorts and sneakers/sandles when you are on 3 wheels, but it...
