• 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.

    Need some tips on replacing a Bad Brake piston gasket - any ideas?

    Hi everyone, Thanks for your advice. I was able to get it fixed with the help of a neighbor and fellow motorcyclist. I held the caliper while he turned the piston. He'd turn it some and think it was done. After a few minutes, we could do it some more. Finally, we had it enough to get pads in it...

    Need some tips on replacing a Bad Brake piston gasket - any ideas?

    I was trying to replace the rear brake pads. Looked like an easy fix. Well, not so fast. First, I noticed what I assume is a dust dirt gasket was deteriorated. I tried to turn the piston back into place. I couldn't do it. Questions: 1. Where and what do I buy the gasket replacement? 2. I may...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Had Show Chrome sequential lights installed on my 2017 RT. Sadly, had to have dealer install them. Having to deal with my significant other's cancer treatment and two important family gatherings.

    Passenger USB ports dead - any ideas on why?

    I was looking at different things but got waylaid by my significant other's treatment for Multiple Myeloma. I took it to the dealer. He looked for the problem and discovered the wiring to the lighter in trunk and USB had shorted out somewhere between the fuse box and the trunk. I have an...

    One of the Best Roads in The World you should visit one day!!!

    We've ridden about 70K miles in the U.S. We've not ridden out of the country because we haven't traveled to foreign lands. Too much to see here. Our favorite highways in the U.S. are just about all of them. However, this past summer we rode the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. It goes from...

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    We have had our Sena 50R for several years, before that we had older Sena models. We can go all day listening to podcasts, talking to each other, listening to music, and so on without recharging. We have had battery probs as they have gotten older. I found where I could buy new batteries and a...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Not today but recently. Had a Knee replacement so I've sort of been out of it for a while. I got a Carpuride 600 for my Spyder and installed the cameras, one on back using the hole for the antenna as I don't use radio on bike. We have Senas which we use to listen to audio books, podcasts, and...

    Passenger USB ports dead - any ideas on why?

    THE QUESTION ABOUT the inline fuse is a good one. If there is one, and I don't recall if there was, it's under a lot of Tupperware. Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, the unit did work. SO it has to be a fuse or it just went bad. It's 4.5 years old. Also, had about 45K miles on it. My girlfriend...

    Passenger USB ports dead - any ideas on why?

    I installed USB ports on left of passenger seat in 2017 Spyder RT in the cut out. The outlet seems to be dead but I cannot figure out why. I do not know which fuse to look for. I can think of a couple of causes: 1. The plug just wore out. 2. The wiring has came undone. 3. Something I can't think...

    How I got to ride in this hot southwest summer this year - 2023

    This thread was from summer 2023, but I thought I'd chime in having just seen it. I bought the Compcooler, and it worked more or less ok around town. However, my girlfriend and I were traveling out West in the summer of 2022. It would work for about an hour at best. Then we had to stop and add...

    Dash cam recommendations please

    Not very. Not poor but don't want to break my bank either.

    I'm not interested in watching the video while driving but a larger screen for maps.

    Dash cam recommendations please

    I'm trying to decide on a system to provide me with cameras for front and back (skip the jokes. I want to record for travel videos, not see at the moment.) I see several systems on Amazon, but I have wants: 1. a screen larger than my phone 2. a unit capable of getting hotter than an iPhone...
