• 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.

    Be careful of advice... Never Grease your Sway Bar bushings!

    A customer stopped in at the Maggie Valley Rally complaining that their sway bar, having been installed by their dealer, began clunking after a few hundred miles. I was in the midst of explaining to him that if the bushings are not properly tightened, the install will be fine at first, but as...

    Maggie Valley Event, NC. 2025

    Got back late Friday night from the Maggie Valley, NC event. Had a Great Time meeting everyone. A bit of a last minute decision to come as a vendor/installer. But I think it worked out well enough for everyone. Weather was nice except for Tuesday afternoon. We did get some rain. Daniel was...

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    A Day With Lamont

    I spent this last Friday with Lamont. I know he means a lot to all of us. I am reporting here for all who care about him. It was a very good day. He drove me around in his race ready Mustang GT. It was the royal treatment and he went way beyond anything that I might have expected. First, we...

    Maggie Valley NC Event - Sep 30 thru Oct 3

    We have been asked to attend the Maggie Valley Rally, Sep 30 thru Oct 3, as a vendor, installer. It's a bit of a last minute arrangement, so our product line and services will be somewhat limited to the less ambitious endeavors. As it stands now, we will do what we can on a case by case basis...

    You Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone

    Lamont just sent me this picture. He was all the time taking pictures when we rode. I don't think I ever did. Now I'm sorry because he's holding the camera instead of being in the picture himself. The M109R (The Beast) is my all time favorite 2-Wheeled machine. You can see Lamont's own custom...

    Interesting Throttle Mod Video

    Advertising can be a free-for-all proposition. Seldom do you get an in depth, honest accounting for a product. My opinion is that most customers don't want to put that much effort into it. So, slick marketing can sometimes be more important to the producer than a straight shooting presentation...

    Not Your Average Oil Thread - New oil, clutch 'Chirping' at idle?!

    We've had an interesting few weeks here at the shop. Here's how it has gone: Customer goes to dealer for oil change; Customer picks up Spyder and notices clutch 'Chirping' at idle; Customer is told by dealer 'This is normal, they all do it'; Customer rides 4 miles to our shop because they are...

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    I know a good number of people are running diesel oil in their Spyder. And I don't know of anyone who has had any particular issues with that. Notwithstanding, is this a good idea? Here is a video by The Motor Oil Geek that deals, in depth, with this 'misapplication', trend. And no, I don't...

    Blue Light Special Anyone?

    Not sure why, but my rides usually turn into adventures. Daniel and I decided to ride out to Marion, NC on Wednesday morning for a John Maddox arranged lunch. John is a great guy and tries to do this once each month. It is a labor of love and I know the local Spyder/Ryker community appreciates...

    Here's a recent Ryker Filter Failure!

    This is a BRP factory oil filter we pulled out of a 900 Ryker Rally. Pretty disturbing. We've done a number of oil changes on Rykers, & Spyders for that matter. Have not seen a filter failure of any kind, OEM or Aftermarket, since the BRP OEM filter fiasco in 2012.

    This is what Happens when you Run with No Coolant!

    This is a 2008 GS V-Twin. The owner had her water pump replaced and something didn't go well. It leaked and in fairly short order enough coolant was lost that the rear cylinder piston began to melt. One of the intake valves seized, struck the piston, broke off, and that was it. She spoke to the...
