• 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.

    What windshield bug cleaner do you use?

    Yup ... Just soak a bath towel in hot water, wring it out and drape it over your windscreen for a bit. Then use it to wipe off the bugs and dry with another towel.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Replaced the plastic Ibolt RAM plate on my Lamonster RAM Ball base with a HD M10 x 1.25 aluminum RAM ball. Simply unscrewed the plastic plate and drilled/tapped for the pictured HD RAM ball. My Garmin Zumo XT2 will not bounce around anymore. At the least, Lamonster should switch their $7 plastic...

    Spyderless, but not gone!

    Slingshots are a blast. That said, when riding with motorcycle buddies, parking is more of a challenge. Sturgis would have been a nightmare. Enjoy!!

    Where should I invest first to improve stability - shocks or a stabilizer bar

    Sway bar and better tires. Then ride it for a 1000 miles.

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    I just did a 400 mile stint Saturday across South Dakota on Interstate 90. Posted speed is 80mph. That particular day had a very stout breeze out of the South. I was lucky to hit 25 mpg, with the mpg's dropping to around 20 mpg. I had to switch off ECO mode, as the bike didn't pull so well in...
