My first ride on a Spyder was from Burlinton Washington to Kalispell Montana. About 650 miles of beautiful cascade mountains NorthEast Washington and NorthWest Montana. The ride was full of awesome views and unending curves. First observation; the lean was soft in the corners, so it will need a stiffer swaybar and shocks. After the ride observation and comments of the Spyder in general; it seems Spyders are designed for the average size person (I'm 6 ft & 240 lbs) so the seating position is too close and too low. I had to lift my entire leg to get on the brake pedal. My comfort would be corrected if the seat was higher and farther back - I talked to Russell Day Long Seats and they can make me a seat that is farther back and higher (I won’t be riding with a passenger). Other than the seating position and some suspension mods, I think my future on a Spyder will be greatly enhanced. Let me know if anyone else has had these similar situations. Thank. Dan

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.

Well first off, Welcome to the Spyder Forum.
As for the seat it seems like you have found a possible solution.
On the stiffness of the suspension a vendor on this Forum, BajaRon is the go to person.
Contact Ron and let him know what you want.
As for myself, I have learned that the
Spyder Ryde experience has a 1000 to 2000 mile learning process.
Try this and see what happens. Stay Healthy and Enjoy your Ryde Times.
