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.

Yes ... 4 of them, so far (all under warranty). See this thread for details: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?107345-CB-Trouble-AGAIN-VENT-and-Dealer-BLACK-EYE

Rincon, if you haven't already purchased the CB you might want to reconsider or at least read some of the posts about them. They have been less than wonderful as SpyderCowgirl can attest.

Thanks. I've noted that (and I haven't yet bought one).

I got it elsewhere.
I can't quote the labor cost because the install was a part of the sales deal.
I'm guessing that the time required would be at least 3 hours.
A LOT of the body panels have to come off and wires run all over the place.
I ASKED them to verify with BRP that the complete CB kit that I got for an older model was infact 100% compatible with my '17.
Apparently they didn't do that.......or the guy I bought the kit from took some parts out of it.......because I ended up paying for TWO extra wiring harnesses before the job was done.
If you don't care a lot about integrating the CB with the rest of the audio system, J&M makes a good handlebar mount unit that costs about half what the Spyder one does. You have to get a bit creative when mounting the radio on the Spyder "bars".
And finally I can't give you a personal report on performance yet because I had a bad headset (extra cost) but there are 3 in my riding group and they all seem to work fine.
