• 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.

    The R button, and how the 2024+ models select reverse gear - Do you think the function of the R and BRP Connect buttons be swapped?

    The neat feature that got rid of the R button on 2024+ units got me thinking! I have never used the BRP Connect button of either of my 2018. I would be cool if the function of the R and BRP connect button could be swapped. That would make it much easier to shift to reverse single handed. I...

    2020+ rear seat sloped down in the front - has anyone addressed this issue?

    My friend has just bought a 2021 RT Limited to replace their 2006 Honda trike. She thinks the rear seat is sloped down too much toward the front of the trike. Also that the backrest is vertical and not sloped back. Parked next to my 2018, both appear to be true. Has anyone addressed this issue? TIA

    Well as part of getting the Champagne Spyder ready for the trip from AZ to WA I did some more servicing.
