• 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.

Handlebar options to push the bars away from you (taller rider)

I saw the post about the shorter handlebars and great improvements to riding. I am in the opposite position - 6' 2" tall and have my pegs in position 1.

Has anyone acquired and installed the handlebars with less of a curve which align the handlebars further away from the rider? Is this maintenance I can do on my own or should I take it to a dealer?

Thanks in advance!
 
I wanted a bit more upright riding position. Replacing the stock bars with the Long Reach position "C" were perfect for me. I'm 6'1" and found that leaving the foot pegs in the stock position worked best.
 
Another option you might consider is an Ultimate Tall Boy seat, it moves you back an inch.
Combined with my pegs in the 5 position it made everything more comfortable. ;)
 
I'm interested in buying them if they are still available.

You can go with position C long reach bars or position E drag bars. The drag bars are the straightest and would be the longest reach.
See this link on Can-Am's site. https://can-am.brp.com/spyder/shop/accessories/handlebars.html Not too difficult to change.
I have a set of drag bars for sale that include the bar, 4 risers, and longer bolts. You can have them for $125 Shipped.

Rotate bars

I am 6’5” tall and have boards in far forward position. I just loosened and rotated the stock bars up about an inch and a half up and then went forward a little. Seems to work fine for me. I hav3 drivers backrest which may make a difference to in how far forward I sit.
