• 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.

    My invention - A new twist on Rooftop Tents

    I love camping, but being retired and disabled, sleeping on the ground and going through the effort of erecting a tent kills the joy of it. So I invented a new take on RTT's. It only takes a couple of minutes to put up and the rig carries everything I need for an enjoyable trip.

    What is this BRP harness extra connector actually for?

    My first suggestion would be to remove the tape from the wire and check the color code to the bike wiring schematic to find where it originates and that will tell you it's purpose.

    Where/how can I find used 2019 RT parts? Hunting for an entire RH Mirror...

    Need Used Mirror Assy. I'm trying to find a complete right hand mirror assembly for a 2019 RT Limited after suffering a bird strike the other day. :riding::yikes: Imagine catching a 15 pound Turkey Buzzard almost at eye level at 60 MPH...Not fun. Anyway, I almost avoided it, but my mirror...

    Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?

    I don't use the BRP Go app, it's too glitchy and limited. I connect my phone to both my bike and helmet via Bluetooth and my Garmin also links to my helmet on channel 2. And I have no issues. The handlebar controls do all I want with my bluetooth connection for music and I only have to touch...

    What does the windshield bracket bolt onto? Will it hold a GPS?

    I have a 2019 RTL and have my XT high mounted at the edge of the dash using Ram Mounts and one of these brackets. However, I don't know if the cross bracket will work on 20 and up rigs. https://spyderstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=51

    Do I really need a GPS?

    I have my Garmin mounted overhanging the front edge of the dash top on my 19 RTL using a mount like the one below along with Ram Ball's and an extension arm. The end result is a unit that is nearly a heads up, as I can see my route and speed within my line of sight. As for GPS versus phone...I...

    Can I connect my phone, GPS, & still intercomm with Cardo Freedom 2X?

    I run Pak Talk Bolds. The trick I found that works is to connect my phone to BRP connect, then to my Cardo on BT Channel 1. After that, I connected my Garmin to my Cardo on BT Channel 2. Intercom is still good. Then when I turn on my RT, it all connects automatically, though BRP Connect is...

    Any Spyder Ryders in the Tallahassee area?

    Ran into a PILE of Spyder riders during Toys for Tots yesterday, and we're going to try to get a group together. Traded names and numbers with quite a few.

    The Truth about LED bulbs - Don't Buy LED Bulbs Before Watching This!

    I haven't gotten around to converting my headlights to LED yet, but I added a set of Pencil Beam Driving Lights on custom mounts I fabricated, switched and wired up to my High Beams through a relay. I do a lot of night riding in the country so lighting is important and these have done wonders...

    Do you feel the Can-Am course benefited you significantly* ??

    I'm like many above...Didn't take the course so I can't vote. I've been riding 60 years and have previously ridden Servi-cars and owned a Triumph racing side-hack (That was a TRIP). I also taught Motorcycle Safety for 8th AF in the UK and was a NMSF Master Instructor. Be that as it may, my...

    How do I play Zumo XT voice directions through Spyder speakers?

    I don't go through BRP CONNECT at all... Here is my gear and setup: Pixel4 XL phone, Garmin XT, Cardo PacTalk Bold headsets. My cardo is connected to both phone (Channel 1) and GPS (Channel 2) via BT. Phone connected to Cardo and BRP via BT (Not the frunk cable). Garmin connected to Cardo only...

    DIY Safety Device to help prevent being rear ended

    The thickness doesn't matter as it is a "First Surface" device. I'm looking at doing one wide and tall enough to cover the surface between the rear tire and "Mud Flap" on my 19 RT. My plan is to mill a fixed array master, pull a silicone mold and then cast one using 5/0 aluminum powder in...

    DIY Safety Device to help prevent being rear ended

    I worked radar in the USAF and it's not the strength of a single return that matters, it's the cumulative signal return that triggers the AEB. So, I'm wondering if a fixed array system would also work. Here is my idea...Instead of a single large TriHedral, why not a "Sheet" of small ones...

    Fog Light switch - can I use any switch or must it be BRP's?

    If you are wiring separate, non OEM fogs, you will want to run the output from the switch to a relay fed from the battery. That way you won't run the possibility of messing with the CANBUS system. I run a Carling switch and switch QD socket for my driving lights on my 19 RT Ltd.

    Why You May Want to Add a Bump Skid

    Cold weather gear discussion

    I'm also not one for massively bulky, but at 5'9 and 130 lbs, that used to be the only way I could stay warm since I have no "Natural" insulation. That said, my wife and I love our ORORO heated vests, though they also have many other styles at very reasonable prices. I usually wear mine over a...

    Vanity Plates

    I wish I could get the Reg# I had on my 61 Triumph in England during my Air Force days. It was FUK1T, and since British motorcycle tags were laid out in 2 rows of 3 characters, you can guess how it read. :yikes:

    Impossible to get service

    If you feel like a road trip to Florida, Orion Motorsports in Tallahassee is one of the good ones. They are short handed for techs at present, but the Service manager will put you on the schedule and WILL call you when they are ready for you to bring your bike in to put it next in the que. For...
