• 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.

    Maybe the TCM ?

    I've had a couple of incidents lately of my SE-5's Engine Light coming on at a stop, then when accelerating it wouldn't upshift, I'd shift again then it would go to the next gear and the Engine Light would go off. Also, when I go to start it the first time, it's in first gear?? Anyone have...

    Spyderweb Across America

    Check out Lamonster's post on the big board about his idea. I think the MO GANG could come up with quite a few ideas for ride destinations. I'm up for creating a few spots here in the Branson/Tri Lakes area. Tripod :joke:

    Tripod returns to Branson

    Well, we finally made our move back to Branson. We left about 14 years ago and am glad to be back. Unfortunately, we made our move on the same weekend as the last Spyderfest...so, I wasn't able to hook up with some local ryders. I'd like to get acquainted with some MO Spyder ryders, so give me a...

    How Much Gas Do You Have Left ?

    I'd like to find out from you guys and gals, how much gas does your ryde take when you fill up? When I get the lighted warning and I'm down to one bar on the gas gauge, I fill up. Almost everytime it takes about 4.5 gallons to fill it up. So, I'm not really all that close to being empty...

    Exhaust Pipe Wrap

    Last summer there was a lot of talk about wrapping the left pipe to mitigate heat reaching the rider. For those that have had the wrap for awhile now...was it worth the effort and expense? If so, what brands do recommend? Thanks, Tripod :doorag:

    Question for Phantom owners

    I am considering getting the Phantom kit. However, most flat finishes that I have experienced are easily scratched and some are heavily rubber based and scratch and peel as well. Please let me know what your experience with the BRP kit has been. Also, how has it faired after washing? Thanks...

    Need Experienced Opinion on Mufflers

    I have a Hindle, relatively new and tight, that is just too :cus: noisy. I ride in a lot of noise abatement areas and have gotten "the look" from the law. So, what in your collective opinions, is the best aftermarket pipe to give me some nice sound but is not obnoxious? HMF, Yoshi, Two Brothers...

    The spousal unit was making a trip to the Big Box Store and I asked her to pick up a current edition of a particular Thomas Bros. Guide. They were out of that particular one, so, being the practical girl she is, she brought home to me, a Magellan Road Mate 1700 GPS unit. I consider myself very...

    Nice Alternative To Hard Bags

    I have a Valkyrie trike and my '08 Spyder. For big loads and long hauls the trike is like a truck. I've always thought of the Spyder as my "sports car". I've been reluctant to put hard bags on it because I like the stripped down look of it. We'll, I'm wanting to do some touring with the Spyder...

    Loud Hindle

    I bought a used Hindle with real low miles on it and installed it yesterday. I like the bark of it, but here's my problem. I have a SE5 and when it downshifts and blips the throttle, the muffler pops...pretty loud. And winding it out is pretty raucous. I like it but I will be riding through a...

    Last Hindle Questions (I hope)

    I'd like some learned opinions about these questions. Is it necessary to remove the negative cable from the battery while swapping out the stock muffler with a Hindle. And, if so, why? If the ignition is off the whole time, whats the necessity? Thanks for always coming through, Tripod :joke:
