• 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.

    Clear, Dry and 21F......

    In Tennessee, it was about 39 degrees yesterday and about 41 today. I rode both days for about 3 hours each. I wore thermal underwear, wool socks, T-shirt, regular short sleeve shirt, and levi pants. I wrap an extra long scarf around my neck and wear a Xcaliber jacket. My hands are the only...

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    I have a 2009 SE5, has had all updates etc., and never had any problems except I had to adjust the parking brake, but that was all. I purchased in March of 2009 and currently have over 9500 trouble free miles on it. Very happy with the Spyder. John R. Bloise Dickson, TN

    If you took the RT demo ride post here

    Nashville, TN RT Demo BRP was at Opry Mills in Nashville Fri - Sun, and I had to go see the new Spyder! Didn't demo it, but got to sit on it and I really checked it out visually. While sitting on it -- it felt like sitting in a "Cadillac". I loved it!!! It does have all the amenities, and great...

    I installed new Ultra Touring Windsheild

    Recieved my new BRP Ultra Touring windshield today, and finished installing them. I took a ride on the Interstate and WOW...I'm impressed! I got the 25 inch version which is just about right for me since I have the 4 inch NMN risers. The lower vents are great at diverting wind away from my...

    Need recommended waterproof gloves...

    Found Solution for Waterproof Gloves! I phoned BRP and talked with the "head honcho" about my rain soaked gloves. I asked if they could have thier engineers design an Auto-Pilot system for the Spyder. This way when it rains, all I have to do is hit a button and then place my hands into my...

    Ram mount found! Thanks everyone who helped search for the mount. I placed my order with the "mountguys.com" tonight. It's the universal type (held with 3 fingers) and includes the U bolt with ball, which fits up to 1 & 1/4" tubes. The package includes everything I need. Had to email...

    Ram mount for Nextar S3, help?

    RAM Motorcycle Mount for Nextar P3 GPS This is the one that I think might work for my Nextar S3. It looks like the GPS unit is just clamped in by the three holders. But, it doesn't say what diameter handlebar it will fit. As we know the Spyder's handle bars are bigger, plus I have No Magic...

    Need recommended waterproof gloves...

    Thanks Danny! I thank everyone who recommended waterproof gloves. So far I've looked at what Danny has suggested (the Olympia with gor-tex) all season gloves. I found what I think is a good price at $53.96 for the pair. Most other sites offer them at $64.00 or so. Haven't ordered yet so if...

    Ram mount for Nextar S3, help?

    I was given an Nextar model S3 GPS unit which came with a suction cup type mount. Needless to say this doesn't work on the Spyder. I've searched the internet for mounts for motorcycle handlebars, but none seem to fit the Nextar S3 unit. I'm familiar with Ram mounts but I'm a real dummy with...

    Need recommended waterproof gloves...

    Can anyone reccommend a good pair of waterproof motorcycle gloves? I actually like to ride even when its raining out, and I have a good set of rain jacket and rain pants - but my gloves get soaked! I'd like something not too bulky (got to have freedom of movement and control). With the rain...

    Where did you find out about the Spyder?

    Last time a rode a bike was over 30 years ago. Had 5 or 6 with the BSA 650 being the biggest. I'm now 63 years old and just retired and wanted my life long dream which was a Harley. So I bought one on Feb 25th, 2009 - a Harley Heritage Softail Classic. The first day out, it dumped me! Just...

    Front Foot Rests

    Highway Peg Brackets At first I bought the brackets from Magic Neon - way too flimsy as they bolt on to the sheet metal on the Spyder. I have a 30" inseam and my legs were fully extended and very wide apart. Didn't like it! The one to get is from KewlMetal - these bolt on the motor mounts...

    golf bag for Spyder The course I play at doesn't offer any lockers or such. I always ryde my Spyder after golf, but I'd like to transport the bag of clubs to get there. That way I could get a little extra time with my Spyder. Maybe since the weather is getting nicer, I could just book tee...
