• 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.

    Ultimate Seat....Mid Rider or Tall Boy?

    I am the same height and weight with a Mid Rider. It works for me. Arm Length 32 for me and that is the most important measurement. A tall boy would put me back too far I do not like my arms extended that far. With Tri Axis it may be ok but it also limits the passenger seat area. :thumbup:

    2013 Recall Pictures

    Yes. Why would they give you money for something you bought and kept that could be used on other models? You can't sell them for full price used but you can get MSRP credit for them.

    2013 Recall Pictures

    There was a little discussion between myself and another poster in a different thread about the gap between panels. He noticed it I did not until he pointed it out. With the 2014 grille in I have very little leg heat. The upper honeycomb is deep enough that it actually redirects the upper hole...

    Car rim vs Motorcycle rim

    So BRP DID tell Discount tire not to sell Kuhmo's to us. Now who was it that said they did not? Hmmm crickets.:roflblack: Steve from BRP swears they didn't do it. Hi everyone, No - BRP doesn't advise or order independent retailers on what they can or can't sell. It's entirely possible that...

    Car rim vs Motorcycle rim

    I hope you ARE right bob but the picture of the Spyder rim I showed at the beginning had distinct motorcycle qualities. I would love some one who is changing tires or near a tireless rim to do the measurements that the cad drawing is showing on a Spyder rim and post it here in this thread . That...

    Discount Tire DOES NOT want your business

    Sorry Mike " your friend " does not qualify as an expert like the " Tire and Rim Association" The Spyder is not a drag car or stock car and he is not a BRP Spyder expert. The pictures I show that there may indeed be and issue. Just information for people who want to know what the experts say not...

    Car rim vs Motorcycle rim

    This was brought up in another thread and I believe it needs it's own thread. When mounting a car tire on a motorcycle rim these are the reasons it is not recommended. Originally Posted by Bob Denman I remember that there were diagrams of the differences between the bead on a car...

    Discount Tire DOES NOT want your business

    Sure does not look like a car rim to me. Look at the huge bead humps just like the motorcycle rim above. Car rims don't have that. There is no dropwell either. Only difference I see is the cut down on the sprocket side to allow for an angled Shrader valve to be used.

    Show us what the Spyder rim is then before you dismiss the info. You can use a pin gauge on a kenda tire vs a Kuhmo to get the tire profile. Gives us some info before you tell us we are wrong.:dontknow: I am betting the Spyder rim is a lot like GW rim prove me wrong.:thumbup:

    Discount Tire DOES NOT want your business

    If you have REALLY followed this saga Discount tire was contacted by BRP telling them not to sell to us. Do some searches you will find it. Telling them what tires you are getting from them you are setting them up for another call from BRP. It is BRP that is trying to maximize their profits by...
