• 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.

    risers

    By the way, after the installation was complete I asked the service guy how he was able to get under the handlebar and remove the cover, he said he had to take the front panel off to get to the bolts, so maybe try that and see how it works for you.

    risers

    I tried to install the risers myself and the bolts to remove the handlebar are almost impossible to get to, so I took the Spyder to the dealer and they installed the riser for $80, it took them about an hour.

    I bought my 2009 two weeks ago, have put over 1100, miles on it so far, and it seems to be running worse each day, sputtering all the way thru the power band now, do I just keep driving it until an update arrives? The dealer said they installed the steering update before I bought it, but I...

    BPR Touring Windshield

    I got the dealer to include the 23" with the air deflectors as part of my deal and they work great together. If you take the deflectors off then you will catch alot of air in your face so they really do work well together.

    New Spyder owner

    It took me a good two hundred miles to fully get used to the handling and I love every minute of it. Bought my red 2009 2 weeks ago and just passed 900 miles on the odometer.
