    Randy, I went with the Showchrome rack (black) on my 2020 RTL. I thought it was the best looking option and the price was right. Installation was very easy. The underside of the top case lid has 4...

    What's your experience with the OEM adjustable air deflectors in cold weather? Do they help?

    I spent a big chunk of time over the Thanksgiving holiday researching motorcycles. In July 2020 I traded in my BMW for a 2020 Spyder RTL (long story, boring details). I've been fighting the itch to...

    I've got one on order and look forward to the reduced reach. Despite having "monkey arms," I find the reach just a bit too far, especially on long rides.

    I installed a Lamonster belt tensioner last weekend. Start by reviewing Jetfixer's post: 2020 RT Panel Removal. That will get you down to the main (black) body panel on the side. From there you take...

    Hey, Jetfixer, I just wanted to say thanks for doing what BRP failed to do -- explaining how to take the panels off of a 2020 RT. I was trying to install a belt pulley this afternoon and got stuck at...

    I've got a 2020 RTL, but we've only put about 900 miles on it so far. This is our first Can Am, so I can't compare it with earlier versions. That said, we like it a lot. We've ridden on very hot days...

    That ranks as the worst bad service story I've heard in a while. I train call center reps. If one of our staff ever treated a customer with such indifference they would quickly be looking for a new...

    My how things changed in 30 years. DD-727 was 376 ft long with a 40 ft beam. DD-968 was 563 ft long with a 55 ft beam. No wonder you loved her in heavy seas. Interestingly, the crew compliment was...

    I was back at the dealer today to do some accessorizing and had a talk with the service manager about the persistent whine at 50 mph. He said that he wasn't aware of anything having been reported to...

    Thanks for the link to the Smoaks Vblog. Good stuff. I'm not sure he's talking about the same sound though. This is a high pitched whine that occurs only at 48-51 mph. Below and above that range, she...

    I've got about 650 miles on my 2020 RTL and it definitely has a whine. It occurs at 50 +/- 2 mph, regardless of gear or rpm. Can't say whether it's coming from front/back/left/right. I asked the...

    Thanks a bunch for the detailed instructions, Nexus. I haven't experienced belt vibration on the 2020 RTL yet (purchased 7/3/20), or maybe I just don't recognize it when it happens. I'm not the most...

    I gave up on the two map apps. Tried both and found them to be cumbersome to set up and not particularly useful. I've been using Google Maps on my Android phone for years, so I'll just stick with...

    As of today our 2020 Spyder RTL has 472 miles. Just bought it on 7/3. Put 210 miles on today cruising the NC highways and byways. Starting to get pretty smooth on the shifts; finally broke the habit...

    On July 3, we traded in my wife's Indian Scout and my BMW F700GS for a 2020 RTL. Our first Can-Am. So far so good! Haven't had a chance to take a trip yet; hopefully, soon.

    Congrats! We brought our 2020 RTL home a couple of weeks ago. I owned a V-Star 1300T a few years ago - great bike. But then I went from cruisers to more upright seating on a couple of BMWs. When my...

    I've got about 300 miles on my 2020 RTL and experience a high-pitched whine also at 48-51 mph. I asked the dealer about it, and he said it should go away with break in. Keeping my fingers crossed. I...
