• 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.

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Hard to Find, but Found Them Turkman, See post #11, above. I did manage to find them, but it was a long and arduous search. Best of luck to you. By the way, it is important to not over-tighten the brackets that mount up against the underside of the inner-fender/tail section. I broke a...

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Found Them! After calling multiple dealers with no luck, I called large dealership in California. They didn't have any; however, they were kind enough to check their dealer network and showed one location in the U.S. that reported inventory. I contacted that dealer and, sure enough, they had...

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Thank you, Raprider. If all else fails, the Mutazu bags will be an option for me. A couple of folks on this forum have done a great job with the mounts and give me some hope and inspiration; however, I worry about my ability to mount them without the entire assembly looking cobbled together.

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Thank you, juscuz. I appreciate the input and am aware that the V35 is the same bag. As you rightly point out, the brackets are the problem. I will continue my search and will post an update if anything worthwhile happens. As it stands, I have two dealers that were going to check for me as...

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    I think Shad produces luggage for the F3, but not the RS series. Givi discontinued their brackets some time ago for the RS (I am sure BRP had something to do with that). I am able to find the older 219400301 kits, but they only show fitment through 2012. Does anyone know if that part will...

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Unfortunate. There was a set of the older version 219400301 on Amazon; however, my understanding is that those only fit 2012 and prior. The 2013 and 2014 are excluded from fitment for some reason.

    R-35 Rigid Saddlebags Discontinued

    Hi, all. I purchased a 2013 RS-S a week before Christmas with the idea I would slap some saddlebags on her prior to Spyderfest in Springfield MO. I found out, this week, that BRP has discontinued those bags. While they show as available on BRP's site, BRP does not have any in their warehouse...

    Center 4 7mm Handlebar Bolts won't budge, Help!

    Put your Hip into It I stood on the left side of the bike with my left hip bracing the bars to keep them from twisting while I torqued on the bolts with a ratchet and long extension. Keep the bit down in the head of the bolt. I didn't need it, but I also laid a couple of microfiber towels on...

    Spyderfest '18

    I Agree with Rob I just bought my first Spyder, a week before Christmas. Like Rob, I live in the KC area, and grew up in Springfield. My mother-in-law lives in Nixa, not too far from LaMonster's shop. My youngest son (14 years old) is a bigger Spyder enthusiast than I am. The two of us will...

    Helmet dilemna

    Helmets are Personal You said you have a Cycle Gear near you. Go try on as many as you can handle. My forehead was raw, after trying on over a dozen helmets a few weeks ago, at my local Cycle Gear. Helmets are personal. Irrespective of price or rating, you want the helmet to be comfortable...
