• 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.

There are two different backrests for the 2014's, possibly could be the wrong one. One is for the stock seat, other for the optional comfort seat.

You have the incorrect backrest. That part number is for the "Comfort Seat", not the standard "Production Seat". It has the wrong mounting bracket which is causing your issue with the seat. The Comfort Seat sits back two inches more than the standard seat.

Alberts46 called it. He gets the :firstplace:.

Called up and spoke to the parts guy. After a few mins of him telling me that they only make one type and that mine is not supposed have one he finally found it and is sending it to me. Thank you all for the help. Love this site.
 
Someone didn't want to loose any nuts or bolts to the Spyder black hole!!

Glad you figured it out and getting the right one ordered.

The first time I changed a seat we lost one of the spacers down in the black hole. BRP could have made their catalog much easier by saying that the Grey Seat/backrest matches the stock RTS two toned seat, the black is for the Limited and the others are color matched and obvious. Or if they had only printed a picture I would have known from the get go that I needed a grey seat and backrest.
 
Glad to hear that you got the problem solved. Amazing how much confusion has been generated by the 47 combinations of seats and backrests. Also, I guess we should not assume that the parts people know what is going on. :roflblack:
 
If that was a problem that we mentioned in here, and we were caught mentioning it; would you send flowers to the funeral? :shocked:
