• 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.

    RT SmoothSpyder Belt Tensioner

    My dealer fitted mine without question and I have supplied them to several Can Am dealers here in Australia. Not sure about the laws in the US but here in Australia they cannot legally make a blanket statement like "it voids your warranty" - that's BS. If the warranty claim is for a component...

    AirBag Motorcycle Jacket

    If you forget to unplug it just pulls on your jacket- it wont fire unless you force it to as it takes a 20kg pull. My wife and I have used HitAir jackets for years now. Never "used in anger" but good to know they are there. And you won't bounce off down the road as it starts to deflate...

    I am planning on fitting a Stebel Nautilus horn to my 2014 RTS and I have searched threads but can't find any idea as to how to get a feed from the battery in the frunk to the relay by the horn. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Anyone have this helmet

    If you check out their other videos you will see they have an emergency release on top of the helmet for EMT use. The helmet then splits into two totally separate parts and is safely removable they say.

    2014 RT issue

    I see there have been several reports of 2014 RT's pulling to one side and that has , at this stage, been blamed on the tyres. So that may also support the thought that they are no made so well??

    Risers for 2013 rs

    The "cheap" Custom Dynamics Ezy Risers are recommended for the RS 2008-2012 only. However a couple of ingenious owners here have actually fitted them to an ST and this would likely work on an RS too. See http://www.lindsayroland.com/pdf/AddingRisers_toSpyderST.pdf

    Why I'm NOT Buying a 2014 RT

    Unfortunately for thousands of workers GM has announced that they are ceasing production of motor vehicles (Holden) in Australia, as have Ford and Toyota. In a couple of years we will have no car industry at all.

    Smoothspyder belt tensioner vs Baker belt stabilizer

    Believe it or not I have seen an RT with a Smoothspyder that made a significant turbine whine. We changed pulleys and bearings and nothing helped. Then the owner cleaned the road grime off the back of the belt where the pulley runs and guess what- noise was gone almost entirely.

    Hit Air bag Jackets

    My wife and I have had them for 6 years or so. I have one for winter and a mesh one for summer. Hit Air- not one of the many imitations. Have not actually fired (used) one but good to know its there.
