• 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.

BRP UltraSport Windshield & Side Panel Trim Kit vs. Akio Technologies CF versions...

Akio Technologies appears to have a nice new Carbon Fiber line of goodies for our Spyders. And, since, I have been looking at buying the BRP UltraSport Windshield, and possibly the side panel trim kit, I happened onto these products.

The Knee Guards are a 4 piece kit. And, as you can see; double sided tape is utilized along with the torx screws. These look nice. But, not so sure about the mounting with tape.

I like the Akio Technologies products, replaced already the NMN 990/SM5 handlebar inserts (turned yellow after 4 months ?!?).
For the BRP Panel Trim Kit/Knee Pads I used Amazing GOOP to glue the rubber gasket:

Good idea on the GOOP! So, you're using the BRP Side Panel Kit. Any other issues? Someone mentioned warpage.

Are you referring to the Akio Technology Knee Guards? Or; BRP?
 
There working out great got rid of BRP do to gasket problems and warping they blend right in and look great so I give AKIO Tech a :2thumbs::doorag:
 
Hard to tell what they look like by their pictures.
Price is okay. I might be interested in those knee protectors.

I ordered the AKIO Technologies Carbon Fiber Console Inserts. And, I'll probably get the AKIO Knee Protector (side panel kit). But, I'm going with the BRP Black Ultrasport Windshield. I found it for $110, locally. :)
