• 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.

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    Although many here want to differentiate their spyders from others, I'm just a simple guy...happy to have more toys for the bike as opposed to spending tons of money on tires that may or may not be good for the vehicle and thus my safety....as far as the rims go...they are pretty awesome...

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    i think you took my comment out of context. I was trying to be sarcastic because I thought it was obvious that I wasn't trying to improve wet weather riding. Personally I think the comments about rain and warranty have been blown out of proportion. As far as rain or any other riding condition...

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    Have you tried it yet? I didn't realize how much work the front fenders do. After riding around town without fenders I realized I didn't want to experience something flying off of one of the front tires at highway speeds

    K&N Air Filter - WOW...hang on!

    I chose the K&N for many reasons. I've used them for years in off-road vehicles that sucked in more than just dirt. They've seen mud and water, took the abuse, and after washing and oiling they we're like new and the engines lasted as well. Another reason has been a noticeable increase in...

    An even larger air filter?

    Sounds like a good idea to me. I think K&N has a section on their website that lists filters by size.

    Turbocharged Spyder?

    I don't know about the crank but the aprilia mille gets more horsepower from higher compression and more aggressive camshafts but actually has less torque. As far as the VSS, if I don't grab 2nd too hard it doesn't break the rear tire loose and won't in 3rd and 4th so I don't think getting more...

    Turbocharged Spyder?

    Has anybody heard of anyone attempting to turbocharge the spyder. I've seen a few turbo motorcycle sites online but haven't seen anything about the spyder. I'm ready for a serious boost of power. I've already changed the exhaust, air filter, and made a cold are intake but none of those mods...

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    Winter time has hit here and I haven't done much with the bike. I have been checking out the rear footpeg extensions and I'm wondering if we are approaching it from the wrong side. If you look, the rear peg brackets just bolt on and I wonder If the whole bracket can be relocated or a...

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    My state requires fenders for any motorvehicle, including motorcycles. They are still in the fabrication process. I've already trimmed the lenses of the running lights so they don't stick up so high but i still need paint.

    H7 HEADLIGHTS

    I don't know about these but if it's too good to be true it probably is. I just bought a pair of Heliolite 9006's for my car ($29.99) and I replaced them with a set of PIAA 9006's($50.00) and at the same rated wattage and temperature the PIAA's are definitely brighter.

    Wheel adapter orders!

    The problem with another rim that might have more backspacing is rubbing the side panels when you turn the wheels. I have the fendrs tucked as tight to the tires as possible and I can't fit my finger between the fender and side panels at full turn.

    Wheel adapter orders!

    Are you going to run fenders? Are you able to clearance a set of wheels to clear the factory studs?

    Wheel adapter orders!

    The factory 14X5 wheel has a lot of backspacing for all the wider the wheel is, something like 4 inches. This allows the centerline of the wheel to pivot on the same axis as the ball joints. With a 16X7, front wheel drive, wheel, the standard backspacing is about 5 1/4 inches. With a 1 1/4"...

    Wheel adapter orders!

    Time wise probably 3 to 4 weeks. As far as five lugs go, you still only have three holding the adapter on and the more I ride mine the more I'm convinced that the thinner the adapter the better. I know most people aren't going to want to machine their wheels for clearance but I'm going to try...

    I live near Wheeling,WV. I'd love to hookup with anyone passing by and share ideas.

    Quick direct air mod.

    I followed sleepmans directions for hooking up a 3 inch duct pulled the snorkels out completely and used aluminum tape to make a smooth transition from the tube to the opening in the air box. I also have a K&N air filter and 2 3/8" tuner muffler. All these combined, I can't get traction...

    Wheel adapter orders!

    I would be willing to take orders for wheel adapters If we can come up with a general concensus on which adapter would best suit the "do it your selfers" needs. I mention this because the stock wheel studs are 1 1/4"s long. I made my adapters 1" think and had to clearance the wheels to go over...

    Formula One Fender and Wheel Kit(pics)

    Thanks Scotty. I actually cleared it with my dealer first and they said they would work with me if any issues arose. As far as wet weather riding goes, I'll bet the guy who invented the convertible received the same criticism!

    The 16" wheels didn't really affect ride quality but the steering is much more responsive and I think that is due to the low proile of the tire. As of right now this setup can't be found anywhere but in my garage.
