• 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.

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    Hi @Mikey, having small feet (lol) the brake pedal is just where I need it, although thicker foot pegs would help, as the pegs on her are thinner than the Ryker pegs!

    Does anyone know of a Foot-Shift Pedal Extension for 2013 RS SM5? Any advice?

    Hi. I've just seen your post and don't know if you're still on the forum, but hoping you are. I've a 2012 RS and I was wondering what bars you used to change the seating position? 🤔 All I can find is bar risers. Regards.

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    Defo feels like a crotch rocket! 🤣🤣🤣 Not even a mile and my wrists are killing me! I can't wait to get bar risers and see if it helps prop me up and back into a more comfortable postion. I'm now thinking this is why she hasn't done many miles with her previous owners. Defo not a relaxed riding...

    There are adjustments for them, I'm thinking more that it's how low the bars are that I'm actually over-stretching and leaning on them. Given how small I am with not much reach, unfortunately, if I had test driven the Spyder first, I'd have walked away as soon as I stopped, but I've bought now...

    Is that the pegs further forward? Don't laugh, but I'm so small that I can't reach them! 🤣🤣🤣

    Thank you, that's exactly how I feel. Fingers crossed, the bar risers will help. Being slumped forward, I end up body shifting clumsily and awkwardly. Sorry - also, this RS was in my price range. lol

    Thanks @weeneil, I'm hoping the risers help when actually fitted. For now, some short rides and figures of eight in the carpark will do for my next few times out, until I get the feel of it and she stops wanting to throw me off! 😅 Thanks for the reply and help. 👍

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    Hi thanks for the advice, I think the main problem is my sitting position. Being small, I feel as if I'm sitting on a race bike with the bars further away, so I'm over reaching and leaning my weight down on the bars, so the slightest turn feels awkward and clumsy. Also, I've only been out on it...

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    Hi. Right now, it feels like I'm head down, rear up, lol, like most of my weight is on my wrists. I've ordered bar risers to maybe help get me sitting up a bit better, as far as I can see there are no after market parts on my Spyder, it's completely untouched. I'm even sliding on the seat in...

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    Hi and thank you for allowing me to join. I live in Scotland, had few other trikes, Boom, Rewaco, Ryker, and now I've just bought a Spyder RS 2012 Roadster. I don't know if I've done the right thing as I'm only 5'2 tall. After my first ride, my wrists and neck are killing me, and I ridden not...
