• 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.

    TricLED Headlight Upgrade - Comparison with stock (video)

    I've heard that for a bulb replacement - this particular update (posted a vid in the How To) replaces the entire lamp housing as well and removes the stock adjusters for the headlights requiring instead that you use shims to aim them

    HowTo: Installing the LED Headlight/DRL/Signal Upgrade from TricLED/SlingMods

    Hey all - completed this upgrade and am pretty happy with it. Aesthetically they LOOK awesome. My only complaint is that I wish the low beam had a little bit of a farther throw but aside from that I'm pleased. Far brighter than the stock lights in low beam and the high beam is insane. I...

    TricLED Headlight Upgrade - Comparison with stock (video)

    Hey all! Recently upgraded the headlights on my Spyder F3-T to the TricLED LED Headlight/DRL combo (link below). This video is a side by side comparison of the stock headlights vs the upgraded LED headlights on a night road. The new headlights are far wider and significantly brighter than...

    F3 Trunk Pop - Problem Fixed

    That's very possible - if the locking nuts were loose the vibration could have easily caused the pin to migrate a bit. Glad the video helped!

    F3 Trunk Pop - Problem Fixed

    I do believe there SHOULD be a spring in there (at least based on the parts fiche) - but that they either don't have a retainer clip or anything to hold it in or they just simply don't install it in the first place - Either way - I'm glad this is working for others as well!

    F3 Trunk Pop - Problem Fixed

    I can't imagine what stops the spring from popping out if/when it is installed. But now I'm curious.. and for $4.. I'll experiment some more

    F3 Trunk Pop - Problem Fixed

    Interesting.. looking through the Parts Fiche there IS supposed to be a spring in there.. which is not there in mine and from my experimentation is not strictly needed? I'm going to order one.. maybe I'll get it sometime in 2023 - will update if/when I do.

    F3 Trunk Pop - Problem Fixed

    Hey All, In chatting on the F3 Spyderlovers group, it seems there are a lot of riders out there who, like me, had to use two hands to open the Frunk on the F3. On my 2013 ST when you released the trunk lid it would make an audible "pop" sound and then you could walk around to the front and...

    HowTo: Fixing the Trunk Pop on a Can Am Spyder

    Hey all! If you have to use two hands to open the trunk on your Spyder, check out this video.. you shouldn't have to pull up on the trunk while turning the key to open the lid.. if you do then your trunk catch is misaligned and can easily be fixed!

    Added a pair of TRICLED side vent turn signals to my 2021 F3T

    To each their own - the light as a rider is a diffused glow on the "shoulders" of the bike at night. The actual light strip is not directly visible from my position while riding and I like the side glow - also, in the last two weeks it seems like there are far fewer people at night drifting...

    Added a pair of TRICLED side vent turn signals to my 2021 F3T

    Really happy with how it came out. Decided to mount them in the higher mounting position so that they would be useful during the day, instead of just as a glow indicator at night. VERY happy with how they came out! As a rider, the spine of the bike blocks the LED from my view so all I see is...

    BRP Discontinued the Top Case for the F3T!?

    That's what I ended up doing. Fits the F3T very nicely, I like it a lot!

    HowTo: Installing a Backer Built Wings luggage rack and SHAD top case on an F3

    Installing a Baker Built Air Wings luggage rack and SHAD top case on an F3 Hey All, Got my SHAD 58X installed this morning - have to tweak the alignment as my BBAW luggage rack is not 100% square, but the end result is solid and looks great (or it will when I get the alignment perfected)!

    BRP Discontinued the Top Case for the F3T!?

    Decided to go with a Baker Built Wings luggage rack and a SHAD 58X top case - posting an install video to the How To section. Came out pretty nice!

    BRP Discontinued the Top Case for the F3T!?

    Spoke with my local rep - the unofficially official story is that BRP is struggling to supply cases for F3-Ltd's and has decided to temporarily remove the upgrade path for the 2019+ F3T so that 100% of the stock in those top cases can go to outfitting new 2022/2023 Limited models for sale and...

    BRP Discontinued the Top Case for the F3T!?

    Hey all - been on the phone with BRP and found that even though it's listed in their 2022 Parts catalog, BRP has officially discontinued part 219401080 which used to be the top case and adapter plate to mount the case to the F3T. I know folks have had luck with doing luggage racks with SHAD...

    Need Help identifying this? 2021 F3T

    This is my second Spyder and I am still caught off guard by the choices BRP makes. Fun, fast.. but with garbage paint on the black bits and random things like this that look oh-so broken. Thanks for the insight all! I was worried something had fallen off, hah.

    Need Help identifying this? 2021 F3T

    Hey all, Noticed something hanging down on the left side of the Spyder that I haven’t seen before. Looks like a panel is maybe missing and there’s a rod that feels like it should have something on it? Could be I just never noticed but I feel like I would have?

    Snow? What snow..

    I suspect more than half of the people living in this state would agree with your opinion on the climate - especially after this last year, which was brutal.
