• 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, almost totally stock. I had the dealer add a passenger back rest to my RT when I bought it, and I put foam covers on the handgrips. Other than that I didn't feel any need for modifications. I just remembered that I did add a riser to move the handlebars a bit up and back. Other than that, all stock.
 
On my 2008 GS, no. On my 2014RT, no. On my 2020 RTL, yes. Other than minor modifications, it just plan works for me as is.
 
2021 Spyder RTL
Stock except for:
Heli-Bars
Added foam grips
Added Utopia driver's backrest
Added BRP upper and lower wind deflectors
Added the handlebar end caps from Pierre in Canada - red - makes a quick eye-catcher to go with the Marsala and Black
Added the big finger-grip thingy on the key from Pierre - with the spyder icon on it
Added battery tender pigtail
Added battery pigtail for heated jacket liner
So far, am happy with the smooth ride and handling. If I keep it I might put some clear 3M protection on in various places.

I don't think I've ever owned anything with an engine and wheels that I kept stock except for the lawnmower. Actually, I hot rodded one of those when I was about 11.
 
In the late 40s, I customized my red flyer and my tricycle and I've never stopped customizing any of my rides since.

Modded both snow blowers. As well as the 2014 RTS and the poor, old, slow V-Max----------- The Dodge Magnum R/T is modded also, Just can't leave anything with a motor alone.

I know the feeling. The only thing I've left unmodded is my wife's grand cherokee, almost. I put 2 front tow hooks on it because the darn state snowplow driver leaves a berm sometimes tall enough that a giraffe couldn't step over it. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Yes, I do------- Living at almost 6,000 ft we get the snow, and the snowplow drivers have some difficulty with our circle. But they are good about the drivways:thumbup:

Well, okay, not 100% dead stock but all minor changes. Rider backrest, foam grip covers, Lidlox, Battery Tender pigtail.

Mostly it works for me as it came.
