• 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.

    What do you prefer to use for lifting your Spyder/Ryker?

    I'm glad this came back up! Just today I built new cribbage and just tried them out.

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    I connected to the side GPS wires using Posi-Tap connectors, as I had a few of those here.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Those horns are sure weaved in there!! Look straight to the left from the Pepsi can for the left horn, and straight to the right from the Pepsi can for the right horn (which is harder to see).

    My first thousand miles on the Spyder

    I see there's a Long Reach handlebar available for the '23. Might be worth a try.

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    He said the tube is not used with that shock....

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    If this has occurred a couple times now, and the bike doesn't have/use an air bladder, then it's probably under sprung.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I put the last pieces together today on my adapter to lift the RT way up via the Pitbull lift. A screenshot of the modeled adapter resting on a Pitbull lift. I used 2" x 3" x 36" x 1/4" tube for the main rail and 1-1/2 x 1/2" bar for 2 cross pieces and 1/2" round for the third cross piece...

    2025 RT Ltd GPS/Navigation - will it work with Android phones, or must I have an iPhone & headset?

    Ok, maybe I'm a little slow here... We have Bluetooth helmets that get connected to the Spyder. This is not needed? This Amazon Bluetooth receiver would pair via Bluetooth to my Android phone, but looks like an iPhone via CarPlay on the Spyder? Then when connected, you're using Sygic for your...

    Your Weather News @ March Edition 2026

    Almost 71°F here at the moment! I took the time to put on the swimming trunks with sandals and washed the Spyder. It's supposed to be on the stormier side tomorrow and maybe a record breaker high for Friday. Hence the bike wash! :) I'd be fine without all the extra rain, as it's a little...

    Anyone heard of or have one of these Spring loaded hitches?

    That's the kind of hitch that was built into the Tailwind trailer that Tom Finch built, mostly sold to Goldwing owners.
