• 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 took the little bike for a "End of season ride"

    Since I put the Spyder away for hibernation late last week, I put todays good weather to use and took the new little bike on a end of season ride. My last ride of the year is usually to Poopy's Bar down in Savanna, IL. For me, it's about a 220 mile round trip ride. With a whopping 18 miles on...

    I just bought a new toy yesterday :)

    Back in April of 2024, I sold my little 2022 KTM 390 Duke. I cited the reason as not riding it enough. Fast forward to now, it was a decision I deeply regret. I truly enjoy my 2022 RT S2S greatly, but I miss two wheels! Took a 35 mile ride to the local KTM dealership to scope out some current...

    I'm going a different route on my next set of front tires - trying these IOTA EVT (Standard's) instead!

    Yup, I might be the first one to try this particular set of 165/55R15 tires for my RT S2S: https://www.acceleratire.com/product/ultra-high-performance-183/iota-evt-1767 They cost $128/pair delivered. As I have chronicled in the past, I have not had any luck getting the Vredestein 165/60R15's...

    Anyone running PPA wheels with aftermarket car tires?

    Hey all, I am currently running a 165/55 set of front Kanines on my PPA wheels. These have no clearance/fitment issues on my 2022 RT S2S. PPA wheels are 5.5" wide versus 5" width on OEM wheels. I can say that a PPA wheel and165/60 Vredestein had no clearance issues on my 2019 F3S. They did...

    Some pix/info on $20 ebay handguards

    Thought I'd post up some photos of my just installed ebay handguards on my RT S2S. - These are Chinese knockoffs of the Puig Avant handguards which cost $90 on Amazon. They came with silver accents, not black. The silver braces screw off easily and are easily corrected with a couple coats...

    Has anyone lowered a 2020+ RT seat?

    Like the title says, I am wondering if anyone has had decent success lowering a 2020+ RT seat? I saw an older thread, but thought I'd start a current one. I have a 2022 RT S2S, and bought a heated take off to have a Russell Day Long conversion. It is a wonderful seat, and super comfy, but it...

    Stopped in to Lamonster Garage

    Being down at the Lake Of The Ozarks motorcycle rally, I had to make the 100 mile ride to see the garage. While there, I had them install a Moto horn dual tone horn. Very nice 😊 It was nice to actually see it in person. Awesome folks!!

    Will using a USB Data blocker between my phone/glove box USB only allow charging? Will apps such as iHeart Radio/Apple maps still work?

    Hey all, I see threads where members are using USB data blockers on their Spyders. I plug my iPhone 15 Pro Max into my glove box USB to charge. My question is this: If I use a data blocker between my phone/glove box USB, will it only allow charging? Will apps such as iHeart Radio/SiriusXM/Apple...

    Isotta (Italy) windscreen installed

    Well, now that my Paypal dispute is finally closed, and I get to keep the windshield, I got around to installing it. What I like about this windshield is that it is a bit taller (1.5") measured from top mounting hole > center top of the windscreen, 3.5" wider at the bottom/1" at the top and more...

    Has anyone ever opened a Paypal dispute?

    I ask because I will be starting one tomorrow. The basis will be that the product is not sold as described/false product information. On May.14, I purchased a Lsotta windscreen for my 2022 RT S2S through Omnia Racing in Italy. I purchased via Europe as their is no USA vendor for this windscreen...

    Any Isotta windshield users here?

    Wondering if any Euro members might be using a Lsotta windscreen on their 2020+ RT Spyders? I like the way it looks with its taper, but have zero knowledge regarding quality, effectiveness, etc. Thx for any input.

    New audio systems available for 2020+ RT/RTL's

    Will be some work involved, but there is one available. 6 speaker set up for RTL and 4 speaker set up for RT. Personally, I listen thru helmet audio, and only use external tunes when riding under 45 mph. Having chased the audio unicorn on my past H-D, I know that tunes are not audiophile above...

    Installed my Kuryakyn heavy Industries mirrors/Mirror extenders to get a better rearward view

    Last week, after installing my Lamonster 2" riser block + Helibars, I did some further putzing. I elongated the pin hole on the bars so I could push the bars a bit more forward. This was quite comfy. But, checking my mirrors I saw that in this position, the handlebar controls completely blocked...

    I just installed Helibars with Lamonster 2" riser plate

    I initially had installed Helibar's on my 2022 RT S2S. After I had a seat redone by Russell Day Long, my ride height increased by approx 1". I found my bars to be too low for my 6'3" height. I then dug out my previously used Lamonster 2" riser plate to try. Obviously, my cable length was too...

    Is it necessary to disconnect/purge the auto levelling system when fitting an a/mkt shock?

    Hey all. I just ordered a Wilbers shock for my 2022 RT S2S, and plan on installing it when it arrives. I'll R&R it by removing all the panels on both sides and using lifts/jacks to get it off the ground. Would it be necessary to disconnect/purge the leveling system to remove the shock? I just...
