• 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.

    i need your opinion- while looking for a used spyder

    In my case, when I was selling my 2-wheeler, I got an offer for a person who said he was in Georgia. We arranged a price and he said he'd pay by cashiers check from Bank of America and I agreed and let him know I'd be going to BofA to cash it before sending the bike. A few weeks later, I got a...

    i need your opinion- while looking for a used spyder

    This is a scam. Want to confirm... pick a reputable escrow service and tell the current owner you'll be glad to deposit the cash through that escrow.

    There isn't that I'm aware of but there are other backrests available with a decent sized rack available. Search for backrest and you'll find all the info I have. Dennis

    BRP Grip installation questions?

    In my case, I'm using the Kuryakyn ISO grips but I think this will apply regardless of what grips you're installing. I think it depends on who was doing the build on your particular bike when it was done. On mine, I had to cut off the clutch side and then cut off the remaining rubber and then...

    SPYDER TOP SPEEDS

    A local guy says he's had his up to 137 mph. I haven't tried getting over 90 since I just finished having my 600 mile check.

    Spyder ramps... Unemployed edition.

    Considering at one point, I know someone who purchased an "unbreakable hanger" for $5. When it arrived, it was a big nail. She was a little upset but too embarrassed to return it.

    Has anybody else tried this riser yet?

    What's this wire and how do I stretch it? All, I sent an email to RT Sales about an hour ago and thought I'd follow up here. The product is very well made but I have one issue I can't seem to track. After installing, ONE WIRE (heavy gauge but doesn't appear to be multiple wire cluster) is...

    Best combination for Driver & Passenger Backrest

    Utopia website http://www.utpr.com/spyder.html is the main page for Spyders and http://www.utpr.com/backrest.html has some additional specs. Price is an extraordinarily inexpensive $215 and they have several additional options (install for you, post padding, etc). I emailed yesterday and Bob...

    New Paint & Mods

    Maybe they saw the glare and... If that paint is as mirror like as it looks and the sun is shining off it, maybe if they hit you it was because they were temporarily blinded. I might do something like that on some parts -- but not brave enough to do the entire bike. Did you ever get a price...

    Best combination for Driver & Passenger Backrest

    Corbin Seat That's great except for a few things: 1. So far as I'm aware, I don't think they have a "60 day try before you buy" plan. I've seen enough comments on Corbin NOT being comfortable that spending that much on a test isn't something I'll do. If I'm wrong on the "try before you buy"...

    Best combination for Driver & Passenger Backrest

    I've now had my Spyder (new 2009 SM5 RS) for a few weeks and this will be my second post. Question for you modders. I'd like to add a backrest for both passenger and driver. Utopia makes one for driver that's really nice and MMG makes a nice one for the passenger. Unfortunately, they don't...

    Has anybody else tried this riser yet?

    Also just gained one Have had my 2009 SM5 for about a week and lurking in the background to see what other stuff people have been getting and any issues. So far, I have the Ultra-Touring windshield (another local rider didn't like it) and ordered the 3" risers over the weekend. Checked...
