• 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.

    Rear tire

    340 should be for all 3 tires - and even that is a bit high. I just picked up a Yokohama for the rear from tire Rack. Dealer charged me 130 to mount, but even that was cheaper than buying the tire from him. this is my third rear tire -- I never get more than 14000 from one. Trying the...

    Any release date for the new "modular" helmet

    I doubt if you'll see it in the States soon. Reading the review on WebBikeWorld, http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/givi/x-01/ I see it has a rather large top vent section. This meets ECE standards, but this was the same issue that delayed the Nolan N43 Air coming to the states...

    Hauling a Spyder from Ohio to Georgia

    Last summer I met a guy ( don't remember his handle on the board) who was carrying his Spyder in the full-size pickup-- backed in it just fit. He towed the pick-up behind his motor home. He called a tow company when he wanted to get Spyder out of the truck - drove it off onto their flatbeds...

    ISO photos of Orange Spyders

    Yeah, I've got the Corbin seats. I doubt, though, that I'll get out to York this year on the Spyder - maybe next year. Flying out this year instead and plan to pick up a used sportbike for the summer.

    ISO photos of Orange Spyders

    Well, if the pic works right, mine could be called orange -- although I prefer "copper". BTW, you might have seen mine in person last summer as I visited a friend who lives outside York. I've since added the Givi bags.

    Adjustable footrest

    Welcome to the ride! I'd recommend highway pegs. Being able to stretch your feet out on long rides is really great. I'll switch back and forth between the standard pegs and the highway pegs. I think mine are from Kewlmetal, but there are others on eBay. You might search on this board also...

    1st Ride to Downtown!

    I was out that way a few weeks ago -- Beatty to Amargosa Valley and Death Valley. When Nevada gets wind, there's nothing from Idaho to Mexico to stop it. Hope you get out on 95 and 6 -- there's some great riding in NV!

    Cooler for SE5 trunk

    BRP hard bags

    Competition Accessories has the color panels, at least black and silver, for $94. My dealer wanted list -- 129.99 for them so I said no thanks. Givi V35 is the same as our R35 bags. I don't know why BRP ships the red reflectors with the bags and not with the panels, since the reflectors are...

    Lane Splitting

    well, we all know about opinions, but whatever... I've ridden in CA for 30 years. I've split lanes on occasion -- only when traffic is stopped or damn close to it, or at traffic lights ( behind the CHP cycles!!) Anything other than that is crazy. I must say I don't miss it on the Spyder...

    Stock Exhaust - adjustment/baffle?

    I thought my stock exhaust was too loud also.....until I discovered that it wasn't connected correctly. The exhaust manifold where it attaches to the engine was loose. Once the dealer fixed that, the stock was unbelievably quiet.

    Survey Question/Riding Habits

    90% solo, 8% with my son and his Boulevard ( but he doesn't like my long rides), 2% with my wife, who, of course is the reason I got the Spyder. Only been on a few group rides. Depends on the company. As my handle implies, I like to remain below the radar...
