• 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.

    Help picking windshield

    No need to cut the windscreen - that is for other motorcycles. Mark makes a plate to fit where the Spyder screen mounts and the brackets fit to that. "This DIY (Do-It-Yourself) kit is for those that want to convert their current fixed Spyder windshield into an adjustable one. It includes an...

    Help picking windshield

    I had CHAD and it was very good for me - however the Madstad system I now have performers better, looks better (IMHO) and was way cheaper. CHAD had some adjustment but the Madstsd is infinately adjustable.

    Looks like I have some installing to do

    I have the same Elka remote reservoir units and they are great. Incredible when you see them side my side with the BRP units - the quality is obvious. I don't really ride hard enough to do them justice but I am sure Lamont will.

    Laminar lip for Spyder, anyone try it yet.

    I tried the BRP "touring " screen. No good for me (6ft with 3" risers) I then added a Laminar Lip - not much better at all - still does not work for me. I then tried CHAD - now thats better - not perfect but better. Now I have the Madstad System http:// www.robobrackets.com Love it...

    Steering almost got me killed!

    At the time comments were made indicating the steering "lock up" was the cause. Some statements made in a local newspaper which were very alarming but apparently unconfirmed. BRP Australia have the data from the Spyder but we have yet to hear. I think this is the appropriate thread. Other...

    Steering almost got me killed!

    Let me say straight up I have had no Spyder problems apart from squeeling brakes since new and rough running since the first update - I am about to have the second one done. I noticed no difference in the steering after update #1. The local Australian TV stations have been running a story about...

    How do you measure Windshield size?

    I would suggest you look at the Madstad system. http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.10/.f I had Chad on my Spyder and it was good but I am getting better results (smoother air, less windnoise and turbulence etc) from a much smaller (and better looking IMHO) screen on the Madstad brackets. Madstad...

    Tallest Windshield ?

    Do you really need a whole new windscreen? Why not look at the Robobrackets and use them with your existing screen?? They can adjust to give you another 3" and probably make the screen you are using more efficient IMHO. See here - http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/it.A/id.217/.f

    Tallest Windshield ?

    I agree. Height is not the only factor. I am 6ft and was using CHAD and I thought that was pretty good. I have now fitted the Madstad system with a much smaller and neater screen and the results for me is so much better. The airflow under the screen and the complete adjustability help a small...
