• 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.

    Kenda Kanine front tires - Where’s the beef?

    I'd call it the "gray side", since the Spyder Kenda's are already basically a car tire. The attached photo is the real "dark side" :)

    Kenda Kanine front tires - Where’s the beef?

    Other than being open air, nothing about a Spyder is a bike. OEM Kenda's are weak car tires. This is what the the closest size "motorcycle tire" to a Spyder's 165/55R15 Kenda is - a 160/60R15 Pirelli Diablo.

    I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

    I found the Vredestein's to be an excellent tire .. on my F3S. Couldn't eliminate the rubbing on my RT S2S front fenders with 5.5" wide PPA wheels.

    Anyone know the part number and where I can get a replacement Rear Shock Mount Bolt for a 2010 RT?

    That could work, but take your shock spacers with you. Too small, and the bolt will be sloppy. Too big and the bolt won't fit thru your spacers :)

    My 2024 S2S Seat has no strut - did BRP discontinue them?

    Yup ... I have BOTH the Show Chrome strut and the SE seat lift installed. I installed the SE seat lift after I had a seat redone by RDL. The Show Chrome strut was working too hard (sagging) trying to hold up both the RDL seat and an Alaska Leather sheepskin seat cover. The Show Chrome strut...

    My 2024 S2S Seat has no strut - did BRP discontinue them?

    You can. Best and easiest solution is to get the SE seat lift. Less than a minute to install. Slingmods has free shipping through today. FYI: https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyder-rt-flip-up-seat-support-bracket-spyder-extras?vehicle=1

    I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

    My question to you would be: Have you ever run a car tire on the front of your Spyder? I'm guessing no? I can say yes, as I have used both a Vredestein 165/60R15 and Achilles 165/55R on my F3S and the Achilles 165/55R15 on my RT S2S. Switching directly back and forth between my OEM...

    I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

    165/60R15 tires have contact issues. I enjoyed my Vredesteins on my F3S, but I also like my $55 165/55R15 Achilles on my RT S2S. Much better than the Kanines. The Accelera's will be used up front, as they're available in OEM 165/55R15 size.

    Anyone know the part number and where I can get a replacement Rear Shock Mount Bolt for a 2010 RT?

    Some available on Amazon. Just need to determine if thread pitch is 1.25 or 1.50. Easy enough to buy one each M10-1.25 and M10-1.50 nut to thread on the bolt.

    I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

    Yup, I might be the first one to try this particular set of 165/55R15 tires for my RT S2S: https://www.acceleratire.com/product/ultra-high-performance-183/iota-evt-1767 They cost $128/pair delivered. As I have chronicled in the past, I have not had any luck getting the Vredestein 165/60R15's...

    Is it OK to run a Kenda KR20 rear with the original front Kendas?

    Is it OK to run a Kenda KR20 rear with the original front Kendas?

    Bit narrower and bit taller. It will bring your speedo to +/ -1 mph. Plus, it will last you at least 2X as long. You'll wrestle more with the bead/spoons on a car tire :) You run about 18# in rear car tire. I have the General on my RT S2S and really like it. New car tires will be mounted up...

    Is it OK to run a Kenda KR20 rear with the original front Kendas?

    Are you going to R&R the rear tire yourself? If so, order a General Altimax 215/60R15 and have that mounted. The Kanine won't last much longer than the OEM Kenda. Just my .02 :)

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What to do? Anybody made theirs better?

    I stand corrected. I looked back on my receipt, and it shows the price code of S-1 for the driver's seat only.

    Has anyone lowered a 2020+ RT seat?

    Hey Quickdraw, I had a Laam seat on my F3S and liked it quite a bit. He was the first one I contacted when I decided to upgrade my RT seat. He had very little photos of RT/RTL conversions, and when I asked him about it, his reply was that he hasn't done many of them because RT/RTL owners seem...
