• 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.

    Recall outcome (steering , GPS and driveability)

    For those of us with no engine savy, what is the GPS sensor? GPS to me is what I use to navigate.

    Spyder on FIRE

    The strong smell of gas fumes on my Spyder was due to the carbon canister at the end of the fuel vent that had fuel in it. There is no way to dump this, it has to be changed. The smell while riding was overwhelming, especially on hot days.

    Fuel Smell

    Yes, we also had this on our BMW 1200 GS and removed the canister. However, we never had the problem with the strong fuel odor. I think that the Spyder is just so HOT, it made the smell obvious. I couldn't believe how much heat was generated. When the air temperature was over 95 degrees and...

    Fuel Smell

    We were on the Natchez Trace at the completion of our 4500 mile trip from GA to SD and back. It was a very hot day and the smell of fuel was overwhelming, not just when stopped, but all the time. Long story, short, we took it to the dealer in Hattiesburg to make sure it was safe to drive...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank Installed!

    Some of the bolts go right through the whole rack assembly, not just the plate.

    Auxillary Fuel Tank Installed!

    We did not attach to the Spyder tank. We will use a 1/4" hose with valve and gravity fill the Spyder tank from the Tour Tank. I'm sure someone with more knowledge could attach it to the main tank.

    Stress fracture in Corbin Side Cases

    I had my new bags installed in March and this weekend, found a stress fracture in the right case, near the rear lights. Has anyone else had this problem? I have contacted Corbin and am awaiting their reply.

    More Pictures I have attached some pictures of the process. The Tour Tank is the 4 gallon deluxe: http://tourtank.com/tourtanks.html They will put the outlet wherever you want it. We put it on the end and then installed it on the fuel fill side. The outlet has a one way valve with a quick...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank Installed!

    Well, we got it done. I now have 4 gallons of extra fuel. We puchased a 4 gallon Tour Tank and installed it on the BRP Sport rack. I have attached a picture of the final product and will send more pictures if that works.

    Love my CHAD windshield!

    We will be going on a longer ride this weekend, so if I have any other feedback, I'll let you know. The other thing I like is that the one I have from No Neon has black on the bottom which covers up all the brackets. It is clear on the top and I still look over the top when riding.

    Love my CHAD windshield!

    The CHAD has lots of room under the windshield to allow the air to fill the vacuum that can be created behind a big screen (near the handlebars). I had a EVO I and that was the problem I had. I developed a terrible neck ache at the back of my head. My head was trying to fill this vacuum! So...

    Love my CHAD windshield!

    Well finally I have a windshield that works for me! I am very pleased with the CHAD windshield. Since I had installed Kewlmetal handle bars, I sat more upright and other windshields did not work for me. This one was easy to install, very solid and I was able to ride with my face shield up (it...

    Windshield Thread Revived for Us Newbies!

    I'm only 5'5", but have the Kewlmetal bars on my Spyder. I really like them. I got the Large and X Large Cal Sci, but they were not tall enough because the change in bars has me sitting upright. Mark at Cal Sci was wonderful about helping me with this process and I sent him pictures with me on...

    CHAD Windshield, Feedback Please

    I moved my handlebars back with the Kewlmetal kit and like it, but haven't been able to find a windshield that works. Have tried the EVO 111, and both the Cal Sci Lg and XL. Due to the Corbin seat and the change in handlebars, I sit up and back quite a bit. The Cal Sci windshields were the...

    BRP Hand Brake?

    Would pay extra to get a hand brake as long as it has all the features ie anti-lock. Since rode a motorcycle first, still reach for the front brake in quick stops/emergency stops. Is a safety issue for me.
