• 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.

2016 F3-T saddlebag break.. Am I going to be forced to replace it?

So the part that clips from the door to the saddlebag broke. I will attach a pic. It is blurry, but you will be able to see the issue clearly enough.

Not sure how this could get fixed, and am thinking I am going to be forced to replace the door at least..Better question is can I replace just the door?

What do you guys think?

Am not familiar with your model but that broken part looks like it is attached to a liner part, probably with a single screw. I don't find the parts fiche for the bag to be too helpful. Perhaps a dealership parts guy can help precisely identify. Also if you could add another picture of the whole inside of the door it might help.

It looks there is enough plastic left where you could fab a piece of metal that you can attach to the broken tab with a small screw and some epoxy.
I would think that you could just order the door from BuRP if my solution fails.

...used JB Weld with a washer. Works great. Works better than the original.
:bowdown:
I haven’t snapped/busted anything on my Spyder yet (“...give it time” methinks)
But something tells me I should pick this up, and experiment (on something around the house),
so I’m ready when the dreaded day comes.

Used some epoxy with much success a few years ago (busted appliances),
just completely forgot until you mentioned that
how darn well that stuff works.

Thanks acdcking12!
