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.
2up rear shock install Questions

two up shock
I just contacted two dealers in my area and both were unable to assist with a price for the new upgraded shock for my 2015 Spyder F3. They did not seem to be aware of an upgraded shock. I used the part number listed in one of the other threads and went on line to powersportswarehouse.com and the price is $149.99 for quote "occasional two up shock". So I am guessing that is it so I will buy and do it myself.
I am a bit disappointed with the info from the local dealers and glad for the help from this forum.
Just contacted a third dealer who also has no idea about this upgraded shock however they at least have promised to do some investigation and call me back.

That's the one. I got a dealer in Florida to pricematch that site, plus local tax of course.

I don't believe he was "whining" he was just stating a fact. That the dealer was trying to rip him off. It seems as though you have unlimited funds to just pay them any and all they ask. But most of us don't have that kind of funding. And most of us are not that able to do the work ourselves. Lack of tools and education! So to me your putting him down was uncalled for.

I placed on order with this place ( powersportswarehouse)on 08/11, has not been shipped yet, sent them multiple emails, tried to call and after 20-30 min hold time just empty promises that someone will call me with an update. At this point I have no choice but to dispute the charges with my credit card. I don't think they have it
Hmmm. That doesn't sound like very good customer service. They shouldn't charge your card until the order is shipped.
I've placed 2 orders with them in the last couple of months and have received my stuff in about 5-6 business days later. They have also emailed me a Fed-Ex tracking # when an order was shipped.

BRP genuine instructions
Hi,
All BRP genuine accessories have a recomended 'Instalation time is approximately 1.5 hour' usually on page 2. Before icon legend. Instruction sheet P/N 487 801 585.
To fit BRP FOX Factory series 2.0 podium RC2 Rear shock 'Instalation ..... 1.5 hours.
This shock has an oil resevoir which adds removal of 2 more panels.
I would suggest negotiating hours based on the document ion from BRP.
I am not sure what document would indicate 3 hours, when the 2 up shock is a simpler swap.
Hard pannier models may be more complex.
Note that European /Australian/Japananese/NZ will take longer because you have to R and R the rear blinkers/ turn signals about an extra 30 minutes (arpinta).
I am fortunate to be able to afford dealer prices for parts but also fortunate to do ALL my own mechanical work. As a Fully licensed motor mechanic with an automotive engineering degree.
I purchased my first bike from Westerns 40 years ago (the first one he sold) and purchased the first Australian F 3 s from him, just old school loyalty and he is still in business 40 years on. He is not a millionaire and employs 15 people. I do purchase on ebay but try and keep some locals in business. It is about what a person feels is fair subjective).
Most people have some form of Pragmatic Communication Disorder and forums and posts are about the worst communication method available today.

This is why they invented little pictures to help show emotion.
