• 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.

    tank bag?

    There's a number of small bags with straps I'm sure I can adapt, I just need to get the bike and open up the Tupperware to see what I can fabricate. The metal under the plastic is a great idea, thanks.

    STS shock question

    Somehow the thread got off track. The OP asked about the 2013 RS Fox shocks and if you look at the new parts book you'll see the ONLY Fox shocks specified for the RS are also specified for the ST and they now come with an updated sway bar. For $399 MSRP this sounds like a killer deal. No...

    STS shock question

    Just to make it perfectly clear, old shocks of ANY previous year Spyder of any model designation WILL NOT work correctly on a new ST or RT. They may bolt up but the length will be wrong. The new suspension design is very sensitive to loaded ride height, your alignment will be wrong and the bike...

    It's all his fault

    Guilty as charged :cheers: She rightly pointed out to me that in the same time she's had the '08 GS I've had 2 new motorcycles so it's her turn. Honestly, the advancements they have made in ride, performance and ergonomics makes the upgrade a no brainer. I'm thrilled she's getting a new bike...

    Yellow STS ordered!!!

    The seat pan is the same so any aftermarket seat for a GS/RS should fit the ST without a problem. It's the seat pan that determines whether it fits, not the contour, foam or cover on the top. http://store.spyder.brp.com/product/631089/219400416/_/Comfort_Seat Note the following: DESCRIPTION...

    service recommendation in Kissimmee, Fl

    Central Florida Powersports is right there in Kissimmee and I haven't heard a lot of bad about them so depending on what service you need they are probably OK. I think one of the better dealers for service in the Central Florida area is Daytona Fun Machines but that's quite a haul from Kissimmee.

    Weird Dealer Experience

    I got this information by knowing about tire compounding technology from a previous life in the automotive industry. I've also spend more than my fair share of time in cold climates <brrrrrr> :) The fact is that non winter rated tires have measurably less available grip at tread temperatures...

    Weird Dealer Experience

    These are not all season tires, they don't work well at road temperatures below 40 degrees. They aren't as bad as pure summer tires and the traction and stability controls will basically save your ass but I think the dealer was erroring on the side of caution. I wouldn't be crossing him off my...

    OTD Price on ST-S?

    We just closed a deal on an ST-S SE5. They over allowed on our trade, an '08 GS SE5 to the tune of about $1500 and gave us 10% off accessories and a $100 accessory rebate coupon. All in all, for a brand new, current model year bike I think we got a very fair deal. Bottom line, most dealers...

    Are you planing on owning the new ST ? If so post here!

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but back in Sept. I somewhat randomly voted that we would buy an ST-S SE in Pure Magnesium. Well, 6 months later, long after forgetting about this poll the wife bought a new ST-S SE5 in Pure Magnesium :yes: after 4 great years with her '08 GS SE5. We'll pick...

    What have you done to your new ST SPYDER ( accessories photo's )

    Jim, Two Brothers doesn't show an exhaust for the ST, can you provide details on what you installed?

    Are you planing on owning the new ST ? If so post here!

    Lamont, Any guess whether a current Ultimate seat for a GS/RS would fit the ST? It looks like the same upper chassis so my immediate guess is it would.

    Maggie Valley Hotels

    I don't think it's a need just yet but if the event is well attended it's likely good rooms in Maggie will become scarce. Cherokee is the next best option. There's also some nightlife in Cherokee (casino) for those into that.

    Maggie Valley Hotels

    If any of you decide to stay in Cherokee I can HIGHLY recommend the Comfort Inn On the River. http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-cherokee-north_carolina-NC401 We stayed there Sunday and Monday night after we left Spyderfest and loved it. The rooms are clean, the setting is beautiful (each room...

    ??Ultimate seats??

    My wife has the Low Rider and loves it. She's 5' 0" with the Kewlmetal 7" bars (4" pullback) and it's a perfect fit. The low Rider is good for people up to abut 5' 4", beyond that or of you are comfortable with the stock or touring seat the mid rider (standard position) is the seat for you...

    Seat Help

    There are only custom seats aside from those two. I suggest you try the Ultimate, they should still have their 14 day trial and if you are near Ormond Beach (Daytona) then take a ride and check them out, you'll probably leave with a seat. Remember, with a custom or the Corbin you own it the...

    Harley Trike

    See, I said trike riders would jump up and claim their rides were just as stable as a Spyder, didn't I? Here's a question, you have an RT, a TG and a GL Trike all going down the road at 60 mph. Something pulls out and you need to make an evasive manouver which involves turning left (or right)...

    Harley Trike

    :agree: There's only one problem, It can't (turn) and it is (unstable).......... I can't remember the number of times I've seen Harley and GoldWing trikes on 2 wheels (unintentionally) even as their owners INSIST they can ride any pace 2 wheelers want to take :dontknow: I've told more than a...
