• 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.

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    I'm sorry, I sold it last year. Other folks can confirm the sizes. Most tire dealers, (not Can-Am dealers) will do the fronts. You'll probably have to take the rear tire off and take it to them.

    Thanks Ron, I really appreciate you!

    Anyone else fitted one of these Handlebar Brake Conversions? Having problems setting it up, need help/advice.

    When i took my Spyder course, (highly recommended)! One of the modules was to get up to speed in the parking lot and then floor the brake pedal! They wanted us to see that the Spyder could take any amount of pressure on the brake, and that it would STOP, and stop fast! It took most of us 5 or 6...

    Is there a synopsis for folks that don't want to spend 20 minutes watching this please?

    First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

    I recall that the less of a 'death grip' I had on the handle bars, the better I got!

    First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

    If you can get into a Spyder course, do it! I learned a lot more than I expected I would!

    Are these Dealer charges normal? Fair?

    I've bought 2 Spyders and a Slingshot from private owners because of that total bs! I doubt I would ever purchase one through a stealership!

    Spyder decisions - any suggestions on what to buy as my first Spyder?

    I will say this, I've purchased 2 Spyders and a Slingshot from private owners. I LOVE not paying the dealer prep fee, doc fee, bs fee, wash you feet fee, etc! Lol

    Any Repair Shop Recommendations in Los Angeles?

    Back when I was driving, I was in Atlanta several times a week, usually around midnight. Those idiots doing the 'Thirty Minute Club' bs on I-285 would pass me doing well over 130mph, unless I happened to look back and see them, they would scare the crap out of me!

    My first thousand miles on the Spyder

    The cramp between your shoulders is probably because you have a death grip on the steering. You'll get used to just barely holding the grips.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    If it's already been suggested, I apologize in advance. Make sure to put a star washer on the battery terminals. It assures you that the connection won't get loose from vibration!

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    I disagree! That OEM battery has worked well for a lot of folks for a lot of years. ESPECIALLY if they are kept on a maintainer when not used a lot. A lot of folks get up to 7 years out of them.

    Wish I had not gone with a Vredestien Tire

    You wouldn't be changing enough as to the tire sizes to affect the nanny!

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    45 years ago, out in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas there were rabbits that had long ears. They were everywhere! When they stood up they were about 15 inches tall. The fuel crossover lines were 12 inches tall. I'm sure I cleaned off many rabbit ears through the years! I forgot to mention -...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    Thanks for the research sir! I tried to find the specific video I had seen to no avail. I will say this. Just about EVERYTHING he has said is wrong!

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    About 45 years ago, I was coming out of LA in a big truck, when it started raining cats and dogs! I picked up my CB Mike and said to No one in particular, "I thought the song said it never rains in California!" A big voice came back across the radio, "That's liquid sunshine, son!" One of those...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    BajaRon, I saw it on a YouTube video probably 3 to 4 years ago. I remember specifically seeing and hearing him walking around a Spyder on a high lift, getting to the tires and saying, "danger danger, car tires!" That is a quote! I'll try to look for it tomorrow. It truly pissed me off!

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    Well, then you have that 'Smoak', or whatever his name is looking at a Spyder with non Kenda tires on it saying, "danger danger!" He lost all credibility with me on that one!
