• 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.

    Anyone mounted a Tail Bag on the rear seat? Will it mess with the Nanny?

    When the Spyder thinks a passenger is on the back (weight on the seat) it just makes the nanny be a bit more "cautious". It's not going to cause any issues - just takes some of the fun away for an aggressive rider. I have the lid off of a gallon jug of oil sitting over the switch so it can't be...

    How hard is Rear shock replacement on 2017 RTS SE6?

    I don't find this task fun like many other things I enjoy wrenching on the Spyders - but I don't find it "difficult" either. But then I work on them as a hobby gig. You won't reach the the top bolt/nut without removing the panels though. Best I can remember without having the Spyder sitting...

    Show Chrome has discontinued the Pre 20 fender lights

    Thanks for the added info. Very unfortunate. I sure hope TricLED gets their QC figured out. They have been decent about replacing the defect lights ONCE but it's still a hassle to replace them. :-(

    Buying a 2014 Spyder ST Ltd - Looking for Passenger Backrest - any ideas?

    You would need to have the Sport Rack installed on your Spyder ST - and the picture you have posted does not include it. This backrest mounts directly to the rack. It will not do you any good if you can't source the rack itself. I'm not aware of any changes of substance that would preclude...

    Show Chrome has discontinued the Pre 20 fender lights

    I understand the concern the OP is trying to make. I've seen so many TricLED fender lights fail pretty quickly (I do accessory installs as a hobby). I stopped recommending the sequential turn signal fender lights and went back to the older Show Chrome fewer LEDs simple flash option. They were...

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    We try to scout the hotels (google maps aerial view is great) for what the parking lots look like. Never really had an issue parking the Tow Vehicle and Trailer. I've heard of folks talk about offering local church a donation to park there. We've never had to do that ourselves but would...

    Anyone Put Seafoam in their OIL?

    I have used it and recommend it for gas when folks are having injector issues from sitting too long - but have never and don't plan to ever put it in oil.

    Would love to bump into you when we are out there for the Gathering.

    Recommend any good places for Riding in Arkansas?

    Every year I go out to Harrison, AR with a Victory Gathering in late September, early November. I enjoy the area so much I'm hosting my "Richardson Spyder Shop Gathering 3.0" in Harrison, AR in May - details available on FB. Tons of great riding around there. Others above have posted some...

    Is BUDS good for all Can Am Spyders, including 2008?

    I might be interpreting your message different than the others here. Some are pointing you to buying BUDS yourself - I'm not convinced that's what you were after. So let me address what I see in your post from a slightly different angle. 1) Yes, the Original BUDS will work on your 2008 no...

    Where can I get instructions for BUDS2 software?

    I'm not aware of an over all Spyder instruction manual for BUDS - if there is one out there I wouldn't mind seeing it as well. That said, is there something specific you are trying to do? If you ask a more specific question - folks here might be able to offer you the instructions you are seeking.

    New recalls on 2022 RTL - anyone heard of these latest two?

    I wonder if they were actual recalls or just TSBs? Seems strange that if they are actual recalls they aren't listed on the BRP Website. You should be able to look them up on the NHSTA website as well if they are legit recalls.

    Upgraded from 2016 to 2023 F3, need to upgrade seat - recommendations?

    Hard to tell how bad it is or isn't in the pics. With the back snapped down - does the front move? Is it shaky?

    Upgraded from 2016 to 2023 F3, need to upgrade seat - recommendations?

    Yep - I just got the same info back from Dave Frank at Ultimate - pans/seats are the same - difference in the Pre-20 and 20+ is the trunk pad only nothing with the pan/seat. Let us know what happens when you try again. Possible it just wasn't latched in correctly up front? Good luck.

    Upgraded from 2016 to 2023 F3, need to upgrade seat - recommendations?

    Trunk seat is thicker padding to look better (close the gap) but mounts the same. I've swapped seats for folks with newer LTD with trunks. I was scoping out the Ultimate Seat Website and it does show a different seat for '15-19 than for '20+ on the F3 lineup. I'm scratching my head on this...

    Upgraded from 2016 to 2023 F3, need to upgrade seat - recommendations?

    I'm very confused by this post. Can you clarify - and maybe even post pictures? Why won't your 2016 F3 Ultimate Seat fit on your 2023 F3? There should be no significant difference between the two - the seat should be a direct swap? This would be the first instance I've heard of an F3 (any...

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    I've been very happy with only the 1 axle brake - many dual axle trailers I've used in the past have been the same setup. The Trailer is a Black Rhino. I got a steal on it used. The original owner is friends with the Black Rhino owner. He bought it and decided he'd rather have 5k axles...

    2 wheeler sayings don't apply to Rykers - we need 3 wheeler sayings!

    I think there is often a sense that Spyders/Rykers are MUCH safer than 2 wheels since you don't have to balance them. Shoot, even I get complacent on my Spyder and often say it's my safer, don't have to think as much, hooligan ride compared to my 2 wheeled bike. BUT, while you might not "lay...

    What size Trailer to Haul Two Spyders? What ramp angle?

    I ride everywhere - I'm blessed enough to have the endurance to be able to. That said, my wife not so much. Her and her best friend are good for about 400 miles a day. As such, I wanted a light weight trailer that could haul 2 Spyders but be versatile as well. I didn't want an enclosed...
