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.

the brp 1 inch riser is not a pair it is single it goes under your handle bars and replaces the part the handle bars bolt to .... i have it on mine and my girl friends spyder with magicmans 3 inch risers if you are not good with working on spyder it is not an easy task to put it in ,,,, .... you need a gear puller i had to buy one from pepboys ,,,, good luck...
My bad on that, I knew it was only one part. I have people that know a heck of alot more than I do that will help. Did you go by the instructs that came with it? Just didn't know if there were more details I might need.

I think 1'' risers are a waste of time and money. I went with 3'' [magicman] I should have gone with 4'' I'm 5' 11''
It is a real PITA to install. My dealer has a $90/hr labor rate and while the instructions say 1 hour, it takes longer. I did it myself and it took over two hours. You have to remove several blind bolts of different sizes and the instructions don't tell what size. You need a slim head 1/4" drive ratchet to slide into the blind spots and a special puller to get the stock riser off. If you're lucky and don't drop any bolts or tools into the belly of the beast, the reassembly goes easier simply due to the extra inch of space to work in. Small hands help. If you have the time, the tools and the patience, you can do it. The instructions that come with it are detailed with photos, its just that you can't see what you are doing under there and most of it is by feel. 1" was enough for me, but many want the extra comfort of the 3"-4" risers.
So easy, even a nine year old can do it, but most of us are cavemen. You also need a nine year old metric savant to tell the difference (by feel) between a 6mm, 8mm and 10mm bolt.
1" Risers
Dealer convinced me to have them install the 1" riser when I ordered my bike. After the install I was ok with the ride position buy not my 5'7" wife, so 2 months later I installed the ESI 3" risers. Now the wife is happy and much to my surprise I prefer it mostly because the bike is easier to corner! I wouldn't waste money on the 1", just go right to the 4".

Comfort Seat Movement??
My comfort seat keeps pushing me forward. How does Nancy's keep her in place? Does this need breaking in? Should I try crushing the padding at the rear half of the rider's section? I'd love that problem.

Don't know any reason for the difference, except different body geometry. The old seat was not dished at all, so she (or I) could slide anywhere. At 5'2" she naturally slid forward so her arms would reach. I just shifted side-to-side, as needed for turns. The Comfort Seat is dished a bit and wider at the rear, with just enough rise toward the front to force either of us to ride in one place...at the rear. Neither of us has noticed the problem you seem to have. Very confusing! It just goes to prove how difficult it is to compare seats. What is tremendous for one person is a torture chamber to another.

For the BRP 1" riser, are you changing out Part #10 on the schematic which is the steering clamp?

Don't forget that some instructions had the wrong torque values, and they busted the bolts.
Scotty, do you happen to know which are the right ones, breaking a bolt isn't something I would like to do. But torquing it just right being it is your handles is important.
My instructions say that the hub screws should be torqued to 15-21 lbf-ft.
