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.

It varies from State to State whether or not you even need one .... and if you do the State will tell you where it goes .... check with your DMV .... jmho .... Mike :thumbup:
Pa will put the sticker on the left front shock.
Mine is on the left lower panel (the one you take off to check oil).

My dad had his in same spot since he bought his 14. 100,000 miles later before he sold it it never came off. We used a lot of alcohol to clean it. I’ve never lost mine and its a 17. Make sure to use alot of cleaner, then scuff it with the white plastic pencil and stick it on when its hot outside. I get mine inspected in June so its usually warm by then. On snowmobiles when the corners start to peel we simply clean the corners and spray on 3M adhesive and heat with hair drier and they stick. I also don’t scrub it really hard when I wash. In fact, most of the time I use tire foam spray on that area. I don’t wash and scrub around the inspection sticker.

I'm a " criminal " :gaah::lecturef_smilie::roflblack: .... I have a 14 RT and had it inspected - TWICE - , after that I just didn't bother, WHY ?, because I keep my Spyder in great condition and I have a serious issue with paying $50.00 to have someone look my bike over ( 5 min. which = $600.00 per hr labor ) and put a sticker on it. .... I don't think anyone else should do this but :dontknow: ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

I’m not disagreeing with your first statement, I know you said others should do it in last sentence too and respect that comment. It’s a rip off and I agree, but I can say this about PA. I run 2 large snowmobile trailers, a 38’ and 25’ toyhauler and a 36’ horse trailer. We put close to 30000 miles a year between the 5 trailers. State Farm’s and Erie insurance both 2 largest insurance companies will “not” pay full coverage/ replacement if I get in accident with them and they are NOT inspected. Even if someone hits me, the other insurance company can say it wasn’t inspected and was caused by malfunction. PA requires trailers to be inspected each year with brakes. I didn’t even question the spyder. I think “don’t quote me” but I imagine it’s the same with bikes if not inspected. PA requires it to be inspected every year. I’ve never seen a police officer actually pull a bike over for not being inspected or fined even but the insurance part is what scares me more than police. I can get mine inspected for $30 so it’s worth it to me for my insurance. I know glacier park this summer did check for state registration, insurance and inspection if required in the state. We needed reservations for each vehicle to enter the park before we got there. I’m guessing that will happen in others in the years to come.
