• 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.

    WTB Bluetooth Dongle Bracket for ST

    It is one of the two metal brackets included in the CanAM Bluetooth Dongle package. The package includes a bracket for both the RT and ST. It would be the one left over after doing an install in an RT. It looks like this: Skip H

    WTB Bluetooth Dongle Bracket for ST

    I need the mounting bracket that mounts in the front storage compartment. Does anyone who has mounted the dongle in an RT still have the ST bracket? I'll be happy to pay a reasonable price plus shipping if you have one. Thanks, Skip H

    GPS Trip Planing

    a This is the second thread I have seen today that says the 665 is not supported in Basecamp. This is not true. The 665 and Basecamp work well together. I am currently working on a route that will take me from Cleveland OH to Dallas TX then east to Florida, north along the coast to Maryland and...

    How to Use BaseCamp an Instructional Guide

    Basecamp and 665 Totally not true. I use Basecamp with my Zumo 665, Nuvi 2797 and two ancient Quests. I would say it works without problems, but then we are talking about Basecamp. Skip H Elyria OH

    BRP hitch install

    The hitch is a friction fit on the swing arm. It should be tight. Because of this the hitch must be perfectly aligned both vertically and horizontally when trying to mount it. The smallest misalignment (1/16 of an inch in any direction) will cause binding when trying to push it on. If need be...

    Push, Don't Pull

    I do not see any counter steering in any of the videos. What the riders are doing is normal steering to control a skid. When you point the front wheel in the direction you want to go that is normal steering. When you point the front wheel in the opposite direction of the desired turn that is...

    Electric power socket on handlebars

    Bruce, Thanks for the reply. The Spyder is my wife's, I am just the owner and mechanic. I think I have come up with a solution. I am prepping the Spyder for a 700 mile solo trip the wife will be taking the second week of June. If my solution works I will post the results. Skip H Elyria, OH

    Observations of The Spyder Universe

    Sounds to me like the F3 buyers you refer to are try to build a sport-tourer (ST) rather that a regular tourer (RT). The sport-tourer class attempts to combine the performance of a sport bike with the long-distance capabilities and comfort of a touring bike. Because they are a hybrid there is a...

    Electric power socket on handlebars

    I want to install a power outlet on the handle bars of a 2014 ST-S and am puzzled about how to run the wires. I have the Lamonster SpyderDock with 12v CIG/USB socket and want to mount it on a 2014 ST-S. Mounting the dock itself is simple enough, just replace two of the handle bar mounting...
