• 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.

    Tire plug kit!!

    Compressor I purchased one of the portable compressors from Amazon just like the one Lamont carries. In less than a year the thing would not hold a charge. The charger does not put out enough amperage to run the unit if the batteries are dead. Searched everywhere to see if I could find a web...

    Trailer hitch

    Hitches Thanks Snowbelt Spyder. I just finished watching Pierre's installation videos on You Tube. Don't have a trailer yet, I just bought the hitch since it looked like a good deal and I will still come out a lot cheaper than the $569 they want for the BRP setup.

    Trailer hitch

    Hitches I'm not sure I got everything needed to wire this to a 2011 RT. What I got was a harness about 3 ft long with a nine pin connector on one end and a flat four pin on the other. Is this cable right and what else do I need. Hitch fits perfect.

    Trailer hitch

    Hitches OK here's what the deal was. Hitches are pull offs. He had seven all together but only one harness. I got the one with the harness for $75.00. How about it did I get a good deal? This is the BRP hitch and wiring harness.

    Trailer hitch

    I think I have seen on here where all RTs use the same trailer hitch. I would appreciate if those in the know could either confirm or deny this. I have found for sale several Can Am hitches for a very good price but the seller didn't know who the manufacture was. In the pictures they appear...

    HowTo: DIY Laser Align with DIY Tool

    DIY LASER A friend asked if I would take a look at the alignment on his 2015 Spyder. He stated he was not comfortable riding over 60 because of the unsteady ride. After alignment he took it on some twisties and he said it felt so good he took it on the turnpike and ran it up to 80 and held it...

    HowTo: DIY Laser Align with DIY Tool

    Yeah you can actually do it with a plumb bob, tape measure, framing square and a chalk line but it is a lot easier with a laser level, especially if your laser is held in place with magnets and can be easily attached and removed. Your finished product is only as good as your tools.

    LASER WHEEL ALIGNMENT

    DIY LASER I missed this thread before I posted in DIY about the alignment tool I just made. I already had a laser level from Lowes so I have $0 invested in material, just a little labor on a rainy day. Made a world of difference and yes I am too cheap to pay someone $250 for something I can do...

    Chinese GPS Review

    I bought one of the $140 five inch Android Motorcycle GPS. Except for the fact that there is know way you can see this thing in the daylight, it worked pretty darn good. I'm keeping it because you can see it inside a vehicle, it's fairly easy to program, has a FM transmitter, plays stored...

    HowTo: DIY Laser Align with DIY Tool

    After reading all the post and watching all the You Tube videos I thought I can do that. My 2011 RT was starting to show some uneven wear on the original tires. I took a steel plate and cut a 4.250 inch circle with a .250 inch hole in the center. I used 4.250 because that was the diameter of...

    Cable adjustment

    Release cable I did the same but used some super strong fishing line, more flexable than cable. I ran the one from the frunk to the opening where you check your oil (2011 RT) and ran the one from the seat to the glove box.

    Falken Tyre Pressure

    Tire pressure Go for a nice long ride and then feel the sidewall of the tire. If the pressure is too low the side wall will flex and build heat. This is what causes most blow outs. If not building heat the pressure is high enough or too high. Increase or decrease until no heat build. If...
