• 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.

    Wanted: Your input on RT-S windshield replacement

    Taller windshield I am thinking our windshield is a cause poor aerodynamics wind buffeting, the spyder has to over come a shield that stands almost straight up. Once the shield is more laid down it would probably need to be longer to make up for it being laid down The windshield needs to be...

    600 mile service completed today

    Took the Spydo in for the 600 mile service. The Spyder never ran this good. I hope that this is the way it is going to continue to run, it just keeps getting better & better. More power after the 600 mile service, maybe it's just the motor starting to loosen up a little. :2thumbs: Westgl
