• 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.

    To cover or not to cover...

    I have one of each depending on the need or conditions. The full cover is a bit more involved when used but completely covers the Spyder. The half cover is easier to use as it is smaller but still covers the windshield, dash, seat and rear storage.

    9 month goal to be F3L owner

    Good plan and your goals are admirable. I can't speak for others but some …. (me) could use a bit less of the "impulse" when it comes to all things Spyder. This is my second summer on my Spyder and every ride is better than the last. I would compare the ride when cornering more like a four wheel...

    Tamper Proof Hardware

    First a little history; this is my second summer on my Spyder, a 2016 RT Special. She's been in to the dealer twice, once for an error code and the second time for her annual oil & filter change. Thus, I've never had a need to remove any panels. A couple of weeks ago one of the hex screws that...

    Bring back to reality and tell me why not to make an offer on this

    That's a very nice Nordic, museum quality actually. Wish they had before and after, side by side photos which would show how much work goes into a project like this. As with any restoration, you almost never see a profit on your time and materials. This is probably priced right for the market at...

    A real How old are you poll

    A couple of quotes from Gran Torino come to mind... Duke:What you lookin' at old man? Walt Kowalski:Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have screwed with? That's me. (except he didn't...

    A real How old are you poll

    Since there's no button for us in their 60's I guess I'll just sit over here in the corner and watch the fun. (wish I were under 20 but that ain't gonna happen)

    Do I harm my Spyder's engine if I shift at higher RPMs?

    I doubt if you're harming the engine in any way. You might notice lesser miles per gallon which may harm you wallet.;)

    Battery life

    Most are automatic, regardless of the battery being serviced. Just as long as the packaging is labeled "battery tender or battery maintainer". Usually around 20 to 25 dollars for one. Just attach the two clamps to the terminals and plug it in, it'll do the rest.

    Battery life

    Too many variables to say. Your climate even plays a part, heat is harder on batteries than the cold. I have found one thing that extends their life is to put them on a battery tender during the off season. I would venture to say that it has doubled the life of some of my batteries by having...

    GoPro Mount

    I've yet to capture any video with the Spyder but I use a helmet cam when snowmobiling. This follows your line of sight and gives you much more variety of subject matter than just the road ahead. I've experimented with various stationary mounts and some serve a purpose but for more subject...

    Motorcycles don't wave back.

    They may be afraid to let go of the Ape Hangers to wave... Don't mean to highjack the thread but wanted to share something from earlier in the week. We've all seen and heard the HD guys crack the throttle when going through an underpass. The other day I was in my car behind one at a stop sign...

    video editing apps/ software

    I've been recording videos for a few years now. I'm on my second camera, a Go Pro Session which I chose for best price point and fewer bells and whistles. Starting out can be frustrating, not only with the camera but also whatever editing program you choose. I currently have the PowerDirector 16...

    RT won't start

    I did the same exact thing a couple of weeks ago. Wasted some perfectly good cuss words until I remembered........ brake, mode, and little black button. Life is good when sitting on a Spyder!:)

    Difference of models

    You are correct sir, mine is an RT Special as the compressor is manual.

    Difference of models

    Mine is the RTS with the Special designation. I was told by the dealer that Special refers to the color scheme which on mine is a combination of Matte and Polished finish.
