• 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.

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    I thought about that, but the problem is the new wheel is unfinished, i.e. no clear-coat finishing. Yes, they actually sent an unfinished wheel. It would look pretty bad, and it would just drive me crazy. I have decided to not burn any more of my precious time on the matter, the situation is...

    tires

    Thank you, 601. I have always liked Yokohamas, so that would be an excellent option. And it's a straight up replacement as well, so no worries about modding anything. They are on my list! A while back I was going to put on a set of Yokohamas that were 185s, but I would have had to mod the...

    tires

    This is good to hear. I agree completely about the ratios. We must be mindful of the sensitive nature of the electronics aboard. Extremely good to hear that the 15's will work. As I understand it, the new Kenda that mounts to that wheel are much improved over the originals that came with the...

    tires

    I'm glad this discussion came up. So far I have only used the Kenda's. I don't really like them, but since I'm not riding these machines much any more they are doing much better. I can't get more than about 11,000 out of them. I wanted to go with something different (preferably wider) on the...

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    Yessir, that be the one! But I'm done with it. I'll just take the rear tire and will deal with the wheels myself at a later date. I'm just done with it. Appreciate ya, though. It's nice to know that they are still out there. :thumbup:

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    You are correct. This is exactly how they are viewing it. You know, I was really angry at first, both at the dealer for starting the whole thing by messing up the wheel, then at BRP for treating me badly and not supporting their product. So what if it is a 2009 model? That doesn't give you...

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    I was thinking the EBay route but didn't really want to go there. I may have no choice. For those that think I am being harsh on BRP... I don't think so. I think they are being harsh. It's quite simple, really - if a wheel is not available any longer, then don't offer it in your catalog. That...

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    We tried looking at re-finishing or reparing the wheel, but the guy at the wheel shop took one look at it, shook his head and said no way. The scratches are too deep.I wanted to get really mad at the dealer at first, but it was an accident, he owned the mistake right away and has done everything...

    Hey Bob! Long time, Brother! It's good to see you are still out here. :thumbup:

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    Hi Ann! No, I have not. Based on how I have been treated so far, I doubt anyone there would even read the thing. I may consider it at some point, but for now I just don't want to keep beating this dead horse. They just don't care, even though this is supposed to be a rare machine; number 14 of...

    BRP Strikes AGAIN!!

    Haven't been on here in a while, and hate to re-emerge with this kind of post, but it's the truth. You guys are going to love this one. Or not, depending on your perspective. But here goes! A little history first. I have 2 Spyders; a white 2010 RSS (Wife's) and my 2009 Phantom. They have both...

    the new shock position - Pro,s and Con,s

    I actually like your idea here. Have you actually done this to an RS? If so, how?

    Spyder Recall package

    Got both of mine too. They came within 2 days of each other. Have not put them on yet, and after reading some of the posts here I may not bother. no problems with either machine, so I may leave well enough alone.

    do I get a exhaust for the new st

    Bob, if it were me, I'd take delivery and put some miles on her first. You might just like it the way it is. Cans go on easily enough. But I agree with others, I think the HMF sounds pretty darned good. That'll most likely be the one I put on next.

    VSS fault

    Awsome, brother! I always carry 1-2 spare relays and assorted fuses with me. There is nothing worse than getting caught out somewhere as the result of a 25 cent fuse or a 2 buck relay!

    Helmet Speakers

    Hey Dude! I wear ear buds too and I also wear a belaclava. But I always wear one to protect my lid, so they never fall out! But I understand your issue. I have an O'Neil Tirade Bluetooth helmet and the speakers are not the best. They really sucked until I figured out that I just needed to get...

    Can Am Leaning Trike Patent

    Well I sure would not give up on the idea - even if you only get one built for yourself. This sounds like a real passion for you so see it to through to the end - whether it happens or not. You never know. I wish you nothing but the best of luck with it.

    Phantom 14 is "Back in Black!"

    Probably! And all this time I thought I got that from my Dad. My father could weave a tapestry of obsenities that was both poetic and scary. A true Marine! :firstplace:

    :thumbup: Exactly. Just my 2 cents, doesn't mean anything - But I agree with you.

    RS Dash Kit

    +1. I agree, I don't care for the lower piece. Also curious about color options (though I most likely would be looking for black carbon fiber) and pricing - could not find any info on the site.
