• 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.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My appointment came and went without any happiness this morning. The service manager gave it a shot with two different systems at his disposal and said neither one would allow him to click on the disable icon in the DESS section of the system. He said the icon was there but had the familiar...

    Thinking outside the box - will parts swap from 2014-18 to 2020+?

    I frequently like to think outside the box on things. Making the switch from the 2014 RT-L body style & top case to a 2020 RT-L and newer is a tempting option. I do have a couple of dislikes about the newer body style though. One is the frunk lid on the old body style is much more appealing...

    What's the best music app to use in phone and listen to in a Sena?

    My title pretty much says it all. I did an advanced search using "best music app on a phone" that turned up a lot of threads. None of the titles seemed to point me in the right direction so this thread is seeking out first-hand information on what others have used or are using to play music...

    Any suggestions for Blind spot mirrors?

    I use the stick-on pairs from Walmart and place them in the bottom inside portion of the main mirror. That is an area where you typically see only a portion of your arm and body anyway. Those combined with the main mirror, and your peripheral vision give you a 360° view of the world around you...

    Its hard to get off 2 two wheels and onto three.

    I feel your pain. I have been on two wheels since 1968 buuuuut, had a long hiatus from 1980 to 2000 and have been making up for lost time and miles ever since to the tune of over 400K miles since starting again in April of 2000. However we bought a 2014 Spyder RT Limited for my wife in the...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    If one picture is worth... then what are eight worth? I'll just let the pictures tell the story. If they don't appear in order or disoriented, well, can't change the site's idiosyncrasies. :shocked: I'm posting this in hopes it will help others as the one video I could find had some spots...

    Palindromes; anyone else track them?

    I must have scrolled right past this. That's overlooking Lake Meredith in the Panhandle and yes many parts are somewhat barren. However, if you know where to look there are many pretty and unique places here but seeing them requires one to leave the 4-lane slab and explore the backroads...

    For you Texas Panhandle Spyder Ryders

    There's pretty popular benefit ride coming up in Panhandle, Tx on May 20th. I think all you Spyder ryders in or near Amarillo should make an effort to do this ride. It is the Blaze Coffee Memorial Benefit Ride that has been going on for several years now and draws quite a crowd. The run is...

    Parking Brake Motor - Pro's & Con's of leaving it off during winter hibernation?

    I read all of the above comments and did not see any "pros or cons" just some who do it. After having replaced the pulley and cable that acuate the brake recently, I really don't see there is a pro or con. The motor is controlled by the computer from signals sent from the pulley by means of...

    Time for new rear tire

    With only about 2600 miles on the "new" tires, it's probably not too late to give that a try. I'll do that today Mike. :2thumbs:

    Time for new rear tire

    Since I have not used a 205/60, I cannot address the question completely. With both of the 205/65s I have used my speedometer reads 75 when actual speed compared against a Garmin 590 and a bicycle app in the phone is 74.5mph. On my first 205/65 I ran 25psi and it was down to the wear bars in...

    Time for new rear tire

    No. The /xx number is the percentage of the width indicating the height of the side wall. The side wall of a 205/60 is then 123mm found by this 205mm x .60 = 123mm It has nothing to do with the rim size or the tire made for that rim size. Your 205/60 will work just fine.
