Sounds good to me.

I agree. A photo would be great.

Can't keep up with this thread
First I was told the arm is not covered under warranty. The motor is so if the arm breaks you have to replace the whole unit and since the motor is working, you pay, at a cost of 600.00 and labor I think. Now did I read on here BRP is calling this a warranty repair?
I know of a couple of riders who center arm have broken, when the pin on the left support arm of my spyder broke off I was first told under warranty then told no. that pin is an easy fix, the center one not so much.
Please one nice clear response.
thanks...

IT IS a warranty item. Some dealers are less than honest trying to make a buck.

If your Spyder is still within the basic OEM warranty period, typically the first two years, it is covered. Once past two years, the extended warranty or BEST warranty does not cover this arm.
Regardless of coverage, the arm itself is not available as a separate item and must be purchased as part of the windshield mechanism.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

It is definitely a warranty item under the OEM two-year warranty. I had mine replaced free of charge. I can't speak for BEST but several have posted that BEST does not cover it.
If you do end up paying for it, be aware that while the part is outrageous in cost because you get the whole assembly, the BRP flat rate is only 1/2 hour. That's it. I was on the road 600 mi from home when mine broke. An extremely helpful dealer in Nashville (America's Motorsports) replaced it under warranty. When I saw the invoice I couldn't believe he only put down 1/2 hour for BRP. He said that's all they are allowed for this job. I looked it up when I got home and that is indeed what the manual shows.

Thanks for the info! Mine is still under the 2 year warranty, sooo they shouldn't have charged me for the pin that broke off. I am pretty sure the middle arm on the others I heard about were after the brp warranty and was under BEST or similar.

Hey noboot. Are you making more? Tom
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

I would suggest contacting him via eBay message to seller. It's the more appropriate way to ask him. IMHO.

She dropped a "no" twice.
Her answer was we have a warranty.
I will laugh under my helmet if this arm fails and we are a long way from home. She will be taking the abuse of the airflow because I will sport bike crouch it home.
$100 dollars now vs a ruined trip that will cost much more than this part, what a fool.
Oh well.

It is getting a good response and the RT guys here in Australia that have fitted them are amazed at the quality and fittment of it.
So to answer your question... yes.... I will make some more, they take a lot of hours to make and I will be talking to Bajara Ron about distributing these units on my behalf.
Cheers

This is good news. Very good news indeed.
I'm looking forward to mine !
Does the unit come with instructions, or is the replacement pretty self explanatory ?
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

The Ebay ad says it comes with basic instructions and some wedge type tools to remove the worm drive whatever that means. I have not had the arm out myself so hopefully it will make sense when I do.
