• 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.

    sway bar

    $230 worth of improvement? I just put the EVO sway bar on yesterday. Easy install, even with having to remove the nose. I have it set to the firm position using the inner bolt positions. I have the latest version of the bar that has some additional bends that eliminate the need for the extra...

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    I became a Spyderman at 55 Although my friends, upon first seeing the Spyder, all exclaimed "Geno, you are the Batman!" Wrong super hero, so I went with Spyderman. And as I was 55 at the time - Spyderman55.

    Heres a Question.

    RS for me... ...although I appreciate the design and features of the RT. If I was going cross-country in 5 days again, I definately would want to do it on an RT.

    California Speed-Sports Even though I bought my Spyder in New Hampshire (Thanks Profile Powersports), California Speed-Sports has been taking care of it for almost 2 years now. Excellent service and sales.

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    No problems my Dealer didn't take care of right away... I had the squeaky front brakes (replaced under warranty), a bad license plate light cable (replaced under warranty), and rough running in the 100+ degree California weather caused by the 1st steering update (I have the Hindle). The 2nd...

    Graphics decal sets

    Auto Trim Design - Flame Graphic Kit 2 I added the Flame Graphic Kit 2 to my silver Spyder. Took about 4 hours, but went on easily. Take your time with anything going on the tank or rear fender, as you'll be putting a flat decal on a compound curved service. Be sure to get a bottle of their...

    Thinking of getting Leo Vince Exhaust... any suggestions?

    Make sure you use the baffle... Five of us rode down to the LA owner's event from San Jose. Two had the Leo Vance: one with the baffle in and the other without. The one without the baffle was painfully loud to ryde next to. We made him go to the end of the line to save our ears.

    Lateral acceleration numbers?

    Calculating lateral acceleration Pre-computer this was most commonly measured by timing how long it took to lap a 200' circle. I'm hoping the Spyder has a lateral acceleration around 0.85 (sports car range), but because of the Nanny, I have a feeling it will be in the 0.7x (low-end economy car...

    Lateral acceleration numbers?

    We know the top speed, 0-60 and quarter mile times, but I’ve never seen the skid pad lateral acceleration number. The Spyder handles pretty well - I know it would give my Mustang GT a run for its money on a road course, but does anyone know what this number is?

    Who's the best dealer in New Hampshire... I've always had great experiences with Profile PowerSports in Conway on Rte 16. I got a great deal when I bought my SE5 last September. On a recent vacation trip to that area (I live in California), I got a great deal on a Hindle. They have a...
