• 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.

    17RTL Top Box Strut - Re-gas or replace

    I've read thru the assorted posts about the option to re-gas the struts on the Spyder. Is the quality of the OEM strut such that re-gassing is worthwhile, or in your opinion, am I better to go aftermarket (if the OEM strut is junk I am happy to send it to the bin)? What has been the lifespan of...

    Jetfixer, I was hoping no one would realise I had missed that - I keep it in a bowl in the garage and just thought "nah won't need it, I'll get the flat tyre next trip"!!!

    What's the Best way to fix this tire?

    It started as the perfect ride with some favourite mates in perfect weather on mostly awesome roads and ended this way. No injuries. Clipped a rock, and everything felt ok, so I dropped back to 80km/h and after a while noticed the steering pulling to the left. Tyre leaking via a hole in the...

    Why recall on 2015-2019 pulleys only?

    Good question. Later models than the 2019 are also having the pulley replaced, but as most here in Oz come with 3yr warranty I guess that's why they aren't in the list.

    Any suggestions for replacement Front shocks?

    I have fitted Wilbers all round on my '17TRL and a mate went with the Elka's on his '14RTL. They have been one of the best investments for the RT, and once you chose you'll wish you'd done it sooner. I don't know your riding style, but if your budget allows I'd do all corners.

    The Truth about LED bulbs - Don't Buy LED Bulbs Before Watching This!

    This clip echos some of the issues I found. I investigated many many brands/types and tried a few brands of LED but none did the job. Even some of those recommended as suited to Spyders don't really do that much better. Some things I learnt Some drivers simply wont fit inside the sealed...

    Fuel (GAS) price where you live

    This week I took a trip from my home town to the dealership in our State capital Sydney. I paid $1.99.9 for 98 Octane, in Sydney $2.41.3 160km away - these prices make little sense to mem but judging by the response, I am not alone
