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.

an option is the replacement arm from noboot, but you can now buy a genuine BRP(same as you had with same problems) arm by itself.

Yeah - don't you love it when that happens. I was going 70mph when mine snapped.

The replacement is also available at https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com. Mine cracked and broke in July, had the part shipped next day and replaced it within a day of receiving it.

Yes there is ..... however it's the SAME piece of JUNK that the Spyder was delivered with when it was purchased ..... this makes NO sense to me ..... get the one from No-boot or Lamonster .....JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

Another tidbit once you replace the arm...
Do not leave windshield in the lowest position. Raise it just a little bit. Riding on the bottom puts a strain on the unit. I followed that advice on my 2010, 2011, and 2014 RT's and had no windshield issues.

Well actually this is a myth .... I've reported on this many years ago ..... Before No Boot created His, I made one for myself .... I tested the Theory about " don't leave it ALL the way down " ...... So I put a piece of paper under the ARM and lowered it ALL the way down ..... the paper fell out, the arm was not touching it ..... The arm mechanism is designed to work the same way as an elevator .... when it's ALL the way down - it isn't resting on the ground either ..... Mike :thumbup:

I took a good look at our 2011 last fall after seeing a post warning about this potential on the older models. Sure enough....our "dog bone part" was beginning to crack. I ordered one from Pierre at.... https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/rt-series-replacement-arm-for-windshield-black/ and it was under $200 vs. BRP suggesting a complete $600-$800, 3-arm part. I see that by this link, that they even make the "dog bone" in black now. Ours was silver, like the rest of the arm structure.
