• 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.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    I have an appointment on Saturday and will be addressing these issues with the Service Manager. I don't even have confidence the oil change was done.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    OK venting here. I took my Spyder in for an oil change, replace the seat shock, check out the squeak in my brakes, and to rewire a light from the battery to the the accessory switch. After 5 weeks, they got MOST of the work done. Never got to the brakes - fine. They say they did the oil...

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    I looked up that part number and it has multiple dimensions. Is this the 4" x 7/8" version of the spring?

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Then there is the issue of Privacy. I have seen that Waze and others use your location data and routes to study you and market to you, and even sell to to others. You are giving them this info for free. I believe with a receiving only GPS unit, this information is not provided to anyone...

    Very similar stories happened to me on my Nomad as well. Stupid people

    Anyone else want a Higher Touring Gear?

    I would love a 7th gear. At 70, I am about 3800 RPMS on my 2021 RTL. Ideally, I would love to cruise at 70 MPH at 3200 RPM. It would lower the engine noise and vibration just a bit and likely yield higher mgp since the engine would not be working as hard. At least that is my understanding...

    Installed RLS Cat Delete and Power Vision 3 Tune

    I'm that guy who bought it. I do love it. Quickdraw is correct that it can get loud on higher RPMs but that is what I wanted.

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    This is AWESOME! So simple and inexpensive too. But now does it not move from side to side away from the bike? I see how the cords keep it from hopping off, but when you hit a bump or sharp turn, what keeps it from edging slowing away from the bike and falling off the edge?

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    FrogmanDave - I am liking what you are saying but still not quite understanding fully. I went out to look at how my floorboard is attached and there is a single bolt that goes through the plastic and to a block on the back side. I could easily remove the whole floorboard in just a few minutes...

    This is a good idea.

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    I really like this option because it keeps the weight low. But I have reservations about the heat from my exhaust hitting the fuel. Also, carrying weight behind me will affect the steering just a bit on curves. Lastly, the dry box they show covers the license plate. I don't think two pounds...

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    So back to what I was asking about. I am wanting to shoot for the moon with this and preserve the passenger floorboards so when I am NOT carrying fuel, they have a proper place to put their foot. Now I am wondering about mounting the bracket BETWEEN the rubber and the metal floorboard. So...

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    I am wondering if I mounted the bottom under the floor board, would there be enough space for the hole to match up once the Rotopax can is mounted. The floorboard is about an inch thick. This is why I think a special bracket might be needed. And It would be way cool if there were a way to...

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    I was thinking that for a while as well. But the more I researched, I found that all the overland guys both 4 wheel drive and bikers carry external fuel tanks. I couldn't find one recorded instance where it ever let to a calamity . I also see truck campers with external gas for generators as...

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    I like this but then I lose all my storage in my rear case. I am thinking about long trips when I need the storage space too.

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    Yes I thought about the paint issue. With the lock that Rotopax provides, the can would hug the bracket and not touch the paint. Blueknight911 - yes, fuel in TN is easy to get. But I do travel and i like getting remote. Concerning the bottom screws, I had that same thought. Not sure if...

    My Spyder wish list - what's yours?

    Shaft drive I used to think fully automatic but I do like engaging with the engine.

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    Hey folks, I have an idea and what to run it by the expert minds we have here on the forum. I have been considering ways to carry extra fuel for longer runs and for peace of mind. Some carry fuel on the back seat, some on the rear luggage rack, etc. What about using the rear floor boards...
