• 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.

    Another tire thread…but different¿ New Kenda XPS Roadster Tires - more durable...

    After all of the problems in the past with Kenda tires, I would NEVER have another one on my Spyder! Vredesteins are the only tires I will consider! In fact, I just had a Vredestein installed on the rear yesterday. (Sorry Ron, you are 175 miles from me, the dealer in Taylorsville is 15 miles...

    Anyone have any good Headlight upgrade suggestions?

    Allow me to share this; my Freightliner truck had horrible visibility at night! I was talked into buying a super duper headlight that guaranteed more light! It worked beautifully! For about 2 weeks! The problem was that the OEM bulbs were 55 watt, the new lights were 95 watts! In two weeks I...

    Can anyone recommend a TPMS system other than FOBO?

    I did notice that the low pressure was down to 29 I think psi. If you are running car tires, you would need it to go down to around 18 psi. Nice looking product!

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    If you have chocks and have to slam on the brakes, they take a lot of energy away from the straps.

    Are you using Tie down straps to secure a Spyder with e-track in an enclosed trailer?

    I have an enclosed trailer that just barely fits my Spyder. I have a chock for the front tires. I have Z-track on the floor as I drive on. I put a strap over both tires. I have a piece of rubber tread under the rear tire, it won't move side to side (although I've been advised to strap the back...

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    NC requires a Motorcycle endorsement, which I have, which allows both 2 and 3 wheels. However, you would need a Motorcycle license with the 3 wheel endorsement if you weren't going to ride a 2 wheeler.

    Anyone tried Slime in the Rear wheel? How did it work?

    My tire guy, after I brought a tire in with slime, told me that if I ever used it again, he would bury me next to Jimmy Hoffa! It's just plain messy!

    Any Recommendations for USA Made Trailer Bearings Other Than Timken?

    Is it me, or don't you think that Timken should be asking the distributor where they are getting the counterfeit bearings from and going after the source of them?

    What do you think of these Ramps for loading a Spyder onto an aluminum utility trailer?

    If I was using these ramps, I would have several blocks to put at the hinge at the middle of each one. The totally eliminates the possibility of a ramp breaking in two at the hinge, and takes the bounce or flex out of the trip up and down. And be totally sure they won't move as mentioned! I was...

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    If you knew how they treat truck drivers, you wouldn't set foot in one! If a truck driver parks across the street and walks towards one, they meet him in the lot and very rudely tell him that he isn't welcome there! Imagine if that was your brother, sister, mother, you get it!

    Test Drove A Goldwing Trike

    I went to a Can-Am dealer looking at a beautiful Goldwing trike they had. The sales lady gave me a brochure for the Spyder. I also went to our local HD dealer and looked at a Tri-Glide. Total pos! Then I read the Spyder brochure, loved the safety aspect of them and was hooked! (I might ad that...

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    You wear gloves to protect our palms from getting scraped up if we hit the ground. Think about it, you are reaching forward!

    Any feedback on Kanines after 2 years?

    Personally, I wouldn't have any Kenda on my Spyder! When I put the Vredesteins on the front of 2 different Spyders, and the ride changed by 100 percent, I was DONE with Kendas! We already know that the sidewall composition on the Kanines is the same as the crap Kendas that came on our Spyders...
