• 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.

    My Wife's RT is Fantastic!

    Just for the record, I never had any DPS malfunctions on either Spyder, but, I was unhappy with the way the RT steered/handled before. I do think the steering part of that is a very subjective thing, some people don't mind it, others seem to be really bothered by it. I am just really happy my...

    My Wife's RT is Fantastic!

    Steve, Good point, Yes I am cutting them a little slack for not putting some better shocks on the front. They have to design and build to a price point and are limited in what they can do. The DPS fix was a huge improvement, so that is to BRP's credit. You could say they should have got it...

    My Wife's RT is Fantastic!

    My Wife's RT is handling and riding soooo good. It is really a great machine now. The 3 things that made all the difference in the world as compared to when we first bought it. 1) DPS recall done. 2) ELKA shocks front and rear. 3) Evoluzione sway bar. We have been riding it 2 up this weekend...

    CB Problems

    Mine does it too. Annoying but we have learned to live with it. It would be nice to find the fix. Matt

    New Custom Seat

    Just got this for my RS. I had a local upholstery guy make this for me using the stock seat pan and modifying the stock foam. I really never ride 2 up, but you can still ride on the back if needed. It's pretty much exactly what I asked for. Mad Matt :D:D

    ELKA RT Rear Shock is IN!!

    3Ryder, The ELKA instructions have you doing it without removing any tupperware. I personally removed both left and right middle side panels. I have had the panels off so many times now, it only takes me a few minutes and I think it makes the shock install easier. You will need a way to...

    ELKA RT Rear Shock is IN!!

    Well the ELKA rear shock is installed and so far so good. The installation was pretty easy and straight forward. I have the auto air and I varied the setting from soft to hard and everything worked as expected. When I moved to the soft setting, I could hear air being released and the ride...

    ELKA RT Rear Shock is IN!!

    My RT has the on-board compressor. The Elka shock is the same length and the same spring rate as the stock shock. Unless the pre load is much different, I am hoping I will not need to re-zero the rear ride height sensor. We shall see. Matt

    Impressions after DPS Recall...

    DPS Recall Done Just got both my RT and RS back from the dealer, both DPS recalls done. I never had any issues with the DPS on either Spyder, my only complaint was the overactive steering and body roll, mostly on the RT. I am very pleased with the new steering on both. They appear to have...

    ELKA RT Rear Shock is IN!!

    Just got this in the mail today! I can't wait to try it out. Of course my Spyder is at the dealer getting the DPS recall done. Hopefully it will be ready tomorrow! This shock looks sweet! Now I will have Elka's front and rear! Matt :2thumbs:

    Elka Shocks thoughts after riding for a while?

    Elkas I would definitely do it again. Running the Elka 1 way and the 300 lb spring in the front. And I am probably going to upgrade to the 3 way in the front pretty soon. I am still waiting on my 3 way for the rear. Any day now...:popcorn: Matt

    Elka FYI on springs

    300# springs installed Well I installed the 300# springs and set the preload to 9 inches per Lamont's suggestion. It's another quantum improvement in RT handling. Everything I have done has helped to some degree and my RT is handling and steering better than ever. Elka stage 1 shocks in...

    Elka Stage 1+'s commeth.

    Paul, I did the first Elka RT rear shock fit up and I have been working with Elka on getting the rear shock specifications for the RT. It is not a fast process but It is almost done and the Elka rear shocks for the RT will be out very soon. Of course all Elka shocks are available through...
