I have a 2019 Spyder RT Limited with LED Headlights and Fog lights but I need more lights to lite up the road. I ride year round unless it is snowing or ice on the road. I almost hit a deer this morning that was walking up out of the ditch and did not see it till it was right beside me. Any suggestions?:dontknow:

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.

You can find an LED light bar and install it at the base like the picture.

Try some A-frame extra lights in LED.

If you want the absolute best and money is no object, Clearwater LED lights are great.

Yes, clearwaterlights is great for LED lights. I found some reasonable motorcycle LED lights on amazon too.

I had Clearwater's Darla lights on my Victory - fantastic lights. I liked that they are 100% bright when you select high beam, but you can control the brightness on low beam with a handlebar mounted control. When I dim for oncoming, I still have sufficient light and I haven't blinded the oncoming with 3,000 lumens of well focused light.
Where I travel the deer are on the move now. We just set our clocks back an hour because of daylight savings time so most of us are coming home in the dark now, or even worse, in the dusk hours. The temps here are dropping and the deer migration is on and the road kills are on the increase. However, people still drive like they're going to a fire. We lose a number of citizens every year around this time because they crash their cars trying to avoid hitting a deer. Go figure? Don't leave the pavement, stay in your lane, and take the deer straight on if you can't stop in time. GMHO

I saw some LIGHTING video's and they are VERY impressive ( and so isn't the price ) ..... I highly advise looking at what " Denali LED " has to offer .... they are priced at around 2/3 third's LESS money ..... there are many vids on U-tube for each brand ..... I think " PMK " uses Denali's ...... Mike :thumbup:

I bought a roll of accent leds that you cut and wire your self -lasted 10 years with no issues. They now offer everything.
A Lot of Amazons ones will fog with moisture as one did on my truck inexpensive and cheap product But lasted a year.
Kinda went crazy?
Little square ones where the best for spotting deer on your left and right sides.

Congrats on the Sea to Sky. Very lovely. Would've figured the aux light came with that. I want the LED floor boards that come on the StS, but will probably go aftermarket. I haven't checked, but a few vendors may have the aux light or something similar. From my understanding, the BRP aux light is ~$200 and fairly simple to install. So, you can possibly buy and install it yourself.
If that doesn't work for you, try 1 of the vendors here like TricLed or slingmods.

Congratulations on the purchase of your Sea To Sky Spyder! I purchased the BRP Auxiliary light and yes, its $264.99. UPS delivered it this morning and it is so simple to install. You remove the front (cover) plate which has a T10 Torx screw on each end. Once you remove the screws and pull the plate, the power cord is inserted into a dummy connector on the back of the plate. Remove it and plug it into the auxiliary light. **NOTE** - The Auxiliary light came with 4 Phillip head screws. Also, there will be 2 holes on each side of the bike (additional holes were predrilled) and they will line up perfectly. Screw them in, and you're done! I will say it makes the ground directly in front of the Spyder much brighter and standing in front of the machine with the on makes the bike much more visible and menacing looking in my opinion. I'm happy with my purchase.
I'm pretty sure the S2S does NOT come with the lighted floorboards. They're an accessory (that happens to fit any 2020+ RT).
I've got the Auxiliary light on my 2021 RT. Maybe not as good as one of the Clearwater LED lights but I can see very well with it. As Roadroach said, the installation couldn't be an easier. I had the dealership install mine when I bought it only because it started to rain HARD just before I rode home (1 hr ride) and I wanted others to be able to see me. I had already purchased the light so I was willing to pay them a few bucks to do the work. I've had the front of the RT off (to install the frunk liner....I'd have to say frunk THAT in the future) so I saw how it was mounted. The Auxiliary light doesn't look added on like any aftermarket LED lights which is also a plus. One of the reasons we buy these bikes is for the looks.

Congratulation On getting the Sea To Sky, I think instead of Auxiliary light you should consider Clearwater LED lights.
I have fitted a set of Baja Designs S2 Pro's with mixed lenses. They are very very light weight, have Cree LED's and produce a phenomenal amount of light for their size. I saw a YouTube shootout for LED light bars and while these weren't light bars, they sure behave like them.
The only downside - when you revert to low beam or high beam without them, its like having two candles on their last breath of oxygen to light up the road. The mixed lenses give both a good spread lighting up your surrounds (for those critters eager to share your part of the road) and a good pencil beam lighting the road way ahead.

Here's something I picked off of another post. When and if I make a purchase I will seriously consider these.

looking at their web page they have no mounting solutions for BRP.

If you want o go with Clearwater, I suggest you talk with someone there and tell them where and how you want to mount their lights. Maybe send them photos. I find I get better service and exactly what I want over the phone than on line.
