• 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.

2018 LCD Instrument cluster

Just dreaming here.....no one throw stuff at me. I wonder if the new LCD display on the 2018 could be retrofitted to say 2015 RT-S?
 
I doubt it. For one thing, the new system uses a joystick on the left handlebar pod, instead of the previous four-button switchology. The joystick likely offers more flexibility for all the new display modes and menus.

Scroll through the pictures at Lamont's review of the new Spyder and you'll see what I mean.
 
IF they were to be a retrofit item, not until they sell a gazillion of them already in the 2018's. It would also have to be plug & play. With the differences in control modes, I am thinking not.


:bbq::bbq:Time will tell. I am not going to retrofit. I am guessing about $1K if it were true.

I can get all the information I need off mine--AND--I know where everything is and how to change it. :roflblack::roflblack:

There's deeper changes than just the screen: this is clearly not a "retrofittable" item. :banghead:
But they ARE available as standard equipment on the 2018 RT models: it's time to upgrade! :yes:
