• 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.

    My first ride, and question about the Baja Ron sway bar

    Modify a new stock spyder? Althoug you'd never know it by the comments on this site, most spyders are kept pretty close to mechanically stock, just the way they came from the factory. why not ride your new spyder for a 1000mi or so to get used to it the way it was designed. If you then find...

    First Demo Ride

    similar situation. Very similar circumstances. Get the Spyder, dont do anything to it until you ride it @ 1000 miles on all kind of roads. You will adapt to it and you will like it a lot. It will never be like 2 whl, but it will be great in its own way. Enjoy. Carl
