• 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.

    Installation of LED lights on a 2017 F3-Limited

    I followed Lamonts video to install LED headlights on my 2019 F3 Limited - had no problems what so ever. Like a lot of other things, it looks intimidating but in the end was an easy job. Just take you time and GO FOR IT ! :ohyea:

    BRP dumping Connect???

    Not entirely true ! I just got a new smart phone (yesterday) to replace my old Galaxy and downloaded Sygic Car Connected Navigation, entered my user ID and Password, then my previous activation code .. . works fine. You are correct in that I didn't find it in the app store either so I just did...

    Dealer Recommendation - or not . . .

    Thanks Boiler, but there's nothing real current there on Barney's Brooksville location (they have two other dealerships in the Tampa metro area). Would really like some feedback on the Brooksville location.

    Dealer Recommendation - or not . . .

    Has anyone on this forum patronized Barney's of Brooksville, FL for service on their Spyder or tire changes? They are a full service CanAm dealer plus three brands of rice burners. Thinking of possibly taking my Spyder there but I've never heard anything about them, good or bad, I did stop in...

    F3 Passenger Sensor and one piece aftermarket seats

    In answer to my original post, I received the following directly from Ultimate Seats: "Our seat base pan has a clearance hole that sits around the sensor and the seat foam does not touch the sensor until the passenger weight depresses it." I would hope that the other after-market brands do the...

    F3 Passenger Sensor and one piece aftermarket seats

    Found a few threads on the passenger sensor but can't seem to get an answer about this. I'm considering a one-piece Ultimate seat but am worried how it may affect the passenger sensor. The Ultimate instructions simply show to remove the seat lock pin from the OEM seat and reinstall on the...

    Question about Ultimate Tall Boy seat for F3L

    First, I have previously owned an Ultimate seat for my Honda Goldwing, am familiar with them and would like to stay with what I know. Additionally, their Florida show room is an easy mornings drive from my location. I am now considering another Ultimate Tall Boy for my 2019 Spyder F3Ltd as I...

    Are Kenda K20 Kanines installed as OEM tires on the 2020 Spyders?

    I know I've read this somewhere but can't locate the specific thread. Can any of you 2020 RT owners verify whether or not the new Kenda K20 Kanines are being factory installed on the new 2020 Spyder RT? If not, then what? Thanks

    Garmin Observation

    Yes, I've bought a few used Garmin's from Ebay sellers in the $20-$30 range. I always made sure to get one with Lifetime Maps (LM designation after model number). Never had a bad one and always been able to update on Garmin Express. Recently bought a really nice condition Nuvi 55LM for my...

    Less impressed with my dealer than I was.

    There are some good dealer shops around however, just few and far between. I'm sure that many of you follow Shawn Smoak on YouTube as I do. Now if he was within driving distance of me I wouldn't hesitate to take my Spyder to him. Unfortunately, qualified Spyder techs at his level are also few...

    Less impressed with my dealer than I was.

    When I took my 2019 F3L in for it's first service I also had a pre-arranged appointment. They kept it for almost ten days, stored outside during the rainy season in Florida. I was so PO'ed I just took it home and have never been back. Not saying I wouldn't buy another Spyder from them but I...

    Garmin Observation

    Like many, I've owned numerous Garmin sat navs over the years including both Nuvi's and Zumo's, eight to be exact. Bought my first one about twenty-five years ago and just kept upgrading through the years. Although I occasionally use Sygic Maps with BRP Connect, I also have a Garmin...

    Kenda tires

    My thoughts exactly. Sadly, I may end up staying with a Kenda on the rear for just these reasons :dontknow:

    Kenda tires

    I really hesitate to make any comments on a tire thread (for obvious reasons), but here goes: there are those of us old guys (mid 70's) who just don't want to wrench on our bikes any longer and would prefer to just take it to an authorized Spyder dealer, get new tires mounted and pick it up the...
