• 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.

    First mod

    Mirror extensions I put the up and out mirror extensions on this past weekend. I was really hesitant to cut the wires for the turn signal but it turned out to not be as difficult as I thought. It definitely would have taken longer to try to do it the other way. Here are pictures: The...

    Union shop

    Except that some people can't leave it at a simple yes or no. The initial post hasn't been up but a few hours and already there are the 'i hope so's and the 'i hope not's. It's just something that's bound to get out of hand. (ETA-and even as I typed it got moved to the off topic board...

    informal poll results: 50% Harley riders like the Spyder, the other 50%...

    I get waves sometimes, none others. I get looks sometimes, none others. It doesn't seem to matter whether the other person is on a 2 wheeler, 3 wheeler, Harley or crotch rocket. The worst attitude I've seen -has- been from a couple of Harley riders at a Spyder event at my dealer last fall...

    Stupid Question: Ideal RPM to shift gear?

    I generally drive on flat-ish land and on side streets where the max posted is about 55. I normally shift between 4500 and 5000. Closer to 4500 if I'm passing someone or getting up to speed in a hurry, closer to 5000 if I'm just driving. I sometimes do this by ear and sometimes look at the...

    Spyder Sightings

    Saw a Spyder heading north on Highway 3/South Robert Trail early this afternoon. A phantom black. Was in my bf's blue van going south and waved but no response! Glad to see the number of Spyders around here growing!

    Looking for new grips...

    If I can do it, anyone can. Unscrew three screws and it's apart. Only thing is you need to be an octopus to put the throttle cables back in their little holes while holding the pieces to the throttle and trying to keep it connected to the handlebar at the same time. It took about 3 minutes...

    SOLD OUT

    Dealers around here are also touting the "we're not getting any more this year". Whether that's because BRP isn't making them or the dealer isn't ordering, etc I'm not sure. But they're definitely not making deals. They're very strong on list price and not flexible. If they were flexible or...

    Memorial weekend trips??

    I'm about 45 minutes north of there in Rosemount. Rochester's a nice town, though I've only been there once.

    Memorial weekend trips??

    I wish I had a trip planned. Enjoy going through MN. The weather is supposed to be beautiful, except probably humid (we've been having a lot of that lately).

    First mod

    Newest mods Yesterday I added the BRP anti-vibration bar inserts, the BRP Grips and a MadStad windshield. I also have the up and out mirror extensions. Maybe I can get those done this weekend. Not sure what's next... maybe a comfort seat.

    Looking for new grips...

    Looks like the Küryakyn ISO-Grips and ISO Throttle Boss, maybe? I found it here: http://www.customdynamics.com/can_am_spyder_footpegs_grips_accessories.htm#ISO%C2%AE-Grips_&_ISO%C2%AE-Flame_Grips_ I didn't look for better pricing, that was just the first google search that came up with the...

    Is This Normal?

    According to my dealer, yes that's normal. Mine's done it since I drove it off the lot. I've found that decelerating with a steady pressure helps. If you brake, then let up on the brake then brake more it seems to be worse then.

    BRP Grip installation questions?

    Thanks for the input from everyone who replied. I did wind up cutting the right side grip off. It was really really glued on there. I used quite a bit of wd40 and a screwdriver and a knife and still couldn't get it loose. I wound up putting a hole in it trying to loosen the glue enough to...

    BRP Grip installation questions?

    Hi guys, I've tried to search through the forum and looked through several pages of several different searches but am getting some contradictory information or am just misunderstanding what's been posted before. I've just purchased the BRP grips. I want to install these myself if possible...

    Spyder Sightings

    Saw a white one yesterday in St Paul (on the east side) on Wilson(?) turning onto White Bear. I was in my bf's van and I didn't react fast enough to honk or wave. It was nice to see a young couple on a new Spyder!

    Is this normal?

    Yep, definitely normal. I make sure not to stop anywhere if I'm driving it to work or I know I'll be late. It's really fun to park your Spyder outside a restaurant and then go in and eat, sitting by the windows so you can see how many people walk up to it during the time it takes you to have...
