• 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's finally really mine.

    The ORB wheels are a half inch wider, so I run 175 vs 165 tires. Larger gaps, less spokes, so easier to clean. This will be my third set of these wheels, as I have owned three 2018 Spyders. I really like the 2019 chrome wheel. However, one of those is the same cost of two OEM wheels. I tried to...

    It's finally really mine.

    Bought this last Fall and got to see it for the first time this afternoon, when we got it out of my son's garage. Let the upgrades begin. It has it own little car port! -

    Newbie asking for feedback and advice - Any thoughts or advice regarding buying a 2011 RT-S? What are the most popular tires for it?

    I am on my way this afternoon to retrieve my newest new to me 2018 from my kids house and will see it for the first time. This is the third 2018 I have purchase starting in 2020. That first one (Champaign color) was sold later Sept. So now I will have an Asphalt Grey one in Arizona and another...

    The Spyder is certainly not a Honda - but the reliability sure would be nice! Still not switching tho!!

    And the Triglide stability systems has caused a few to run off the road.

    I call HD trikes pickup trucks, as they ride like an old one.

    The Spyder is certainly not a Honda - but the reliability sure would be nice! Still not switching tho!!

    When I was buying my 4th Honda car in 2001 the dealer backroom paper work was trying to sell me a warranty. I said what does the big sign on your building say, he hemmed and hawed, I repeated what does the sign say, he finally said, LYNNWOOD HONDA. And I said "it's a HONDA I am buying. That...

    I've got a bent front wheel - any idea where to buy a new one?

    One of the first things I am going to do to my new to me Northern 2018 RTL when I see it for the first time is install Vredesteins Quatracs on the front and a General Altimax RT45 on the back.

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    Me thinks someone is maybe over thinking this whole rear tire issue. The way Kenda rear tires ballon in the center at speed, running something that is a little higher profile and that retains it's shape at speed is more or less a wash.

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    I have been run the General Altimax RT45 and RT43 that size and like to play in the twisties. They handle great along with Vredestien Quatrac up front.

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

    Out on the open road, I run cruise control most of the time and use the increase or decrease button when changing speed zones. I just relax my hands on the handle bars, except for when the German Shepherd came out of the brush of the median on I-10 entering California right in front of me. I...

    Complete BUDS3 V800 kit now available from PowerSports Diagnostics

    Just FYI: When a dealer finally got the display firmware up dated last fall on the Asphalt Grey 2018 one that I bought in January 2024, it took BUDS2 and the BUDS2 like USB cable to finally do it and show miles to empty on the left center for the display. Nash in Mesa tried a couple times and...

    Trailering the Spyder - could use some tips on fastening it down?

    That trailer deck looks like it is sits pretty low and the ramps are long, so you should have no issues loading it. There are two things to be concerned about on higher trailers with shorter ramps, the first is the nose hitting before the front wheels start raising it up, and second is the shift...
