• 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.

    Spyder vs Hail Storm (Wisconsin 09/02/2022)

    Was riding to a friend's cabin Friday afternoon, in fairly extreme heat, watching clouds appear and boil in front of me. I had the random thought that it would actually feel really good if it rained a bit - less than 5 minutes later I was splattered with massive drops of rain and a minute after...

    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...

    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

    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...

    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!?

    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

    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?

    F3 Black Painted Plastic Scratches - any fixes?

    Hey all, Started doing a few thing with my F3T and noticing that the black painted plastics on the spine and around the instruments seem to scratch immediately if you even look at them. I don't know if this is a condition of the paint that they used or lack of a good top coat or what, but my...

    Updated harness adapter available from TricLED for 2019+ F3 Spyders

    Morning All, As many of you know, BRP changed the way the wiring in the Spyder F3 is accomplished in 2019 related, at least, to the lighting. In 2015-2018 there is a mid-point in the wiring harness under the upper body panels roughly behind the fog lights that you can plug into for accessory...
