• 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 needed - saddlebag latches hard to open 2020RT Ltd?

    Help needed several weeks ago, I bought used 2020 RT LTD with only 7900 miles. Latches sticking on both saddle bags. Found a poor video on You tube that presumed you knew how to replace the cables, then talked for a few seconds about adjustment. I bought a service manual but it lists nothing...

    bought used from dealer: mandatory 2 keys and full tank of gas. Filters, tires checked and fresh red oil. Used from a private seller, not unless you insist before laying out your long hard green!

    Want to set up mechanical handbrake on 2020 RT LTD for an amputee Vet

    Hand Brake for 2020 RT LTD I found this idea from the ancient history section of this site. Posted in 5/16 from 3whlLefty. Less costly/less complicated than a Hyro ISCI set up (with issues of cost) or a mech cable set up (with the issues of attaching handle & cable to handlebar and brake...

    Want to set up mechanical handbrake on 2020 RT LTD for an amputee Vet

    Hey, has anyone else with a 2020+ RT LTD fabricated a mechanical hand brake? I'm missing right leg, can't keep riding side saddle to use left foot to brake. Saw a short video, seemed to me the author appeared to rush thru it as if he was explaining procedure to guys that already knew how to do...

    Wheelchair rack for F3-S

    I am a right leg Amputee with a prosthetic leg. With poor balance, I can hold on and walk around to back of bike, but all these fabricated ideas seem too much. Sometimes a simpler solution is best. For my 2008 GS SE5 I rigged a Tilt and Tote wheelchair carrier on back of the bike. Trading up...

    Spyder RTL 2020 & up radiator cover grills to keep trash out

    Just installed SpyderPops version after reading the vague instructions in the box and watching the Pierre video of a different company's product. You'd think there would be a current video as both Pierre and Lamonster sell the same product. I slid them in first not wanting to drill anything if...

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    As I'm a big fan of the '66-'67 Van Williams & Bruce Lee "the Green Hornet" tv show (Seth Rogan's 2011 movie version was pure crap), I had to name her "Black Beauty" after the famous car.

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    Per Your signature: Years ago, before Backwoods Ohio had Handicapped Plates, they issued a Car Sized Plate for use on Bikes. About a month later, the local Constabulary pulled me over; I had no idea why. The officer had a big grin on face and wanted to know the story behind a Car Handi Plate on...

    A pleasure to ride

    As a right leg above knee amputee, I rode a GS SE5 for 13 years. Machinist friend rigged a clutch cable & handle attached it to the handlebar, as I couldn't afford the mega expensive brake fluid version. Just upgraded to a 2020 RT LTD and CanAm still hasn't added a hand brake. I have a pal...

    Do you leave the Parking brake on during storage?

    Searching for dropped sockets, Tupperware bolts and trunk plastic fasteners that roll under the bike...occupational hazard with CanAms. Infuriating is when socket, bolt, etc, falls inside the bowels of the bike - not retrievable with magnet; didn't fall thru to the floor & lost forever! LOL

    Where are 2020 RT LTD paint codes? What color is this?

    On cars there is a paint code posted on car, but I can't find one on my 2020 RT LTD. Salesman said: "Asphalt Black", but it doesn't look like asphalt or black to me. Research tells me 2020 paints were Red, Blue, White or "Asphalt Black". Could my "green-grey" paint be a special paint or...

    Spyder RTL 2020 & up radiator cover grills to keep trash out

    yeah, the Pierre video tells you exactly where to put the clips, the pops instruction sheet doesn't. I just got my pops package and will dry fit first, but nervous as hell about drilling holes without specific measurements.
