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.

With the Garmin installed, I leave the cell phone in the trunk charging, and still have access to all information on the phone like calls, weather, radar, music with the exception of text, and that has an auto reply that I am driving and will get back with you later. All of that goes through the Garmin and into my headset.
Just curious, what would the advantage be of having the cell phone mounted?

Ram mount bracket
I bought a bracket that goes on top of the dash, comes with three 1" ram mount. Then got an X-Grip with a 5" arm. Then adjust it so the arm is resting good on the dash to reduce vibration.
On my other spyder - replace one of the two upper bolts on your handlebars (7mm) and replace with the great item from canamspyderaccessories.com. It is a tall, threaded standoff with an X-Grip on top. Can position phone above GPS so both are visible.

Either option should work great.
On our RT, The added benefit of the dash bracket is that I mounted a dash cam on it to look through the windshield. Bought a cheap dash cam with a reverse camera that I stuck on top of the trunk. I can grab clips of rydes to post. Also - great insurance in case some idiot on a cell phone tags you front or back.
