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.
Can you add a front brake control ?

The ISCI brakes are TOP quality units, very well engineered and reliable to a fault - but are not easy to install. I have installed one on both a RS & RT, with the RT being much tougher. The end result is worth the effort.
Note: there is no hand width adjustment. If you have small hands, you may not be happy.

There is an optional replacement lever for smaller hands, though I think Roland Sands Designs makes an adjustable lever that fits. Apparently someone here says the master cylinder perch is the same dimensions as Harley's.
I (still) ride sportbikes. At first I thought the same thing, that I would miss having a brake lever. Sometimes it's a PITA - like in a hard left, when you're hung off to the left and can't quite feather the footbrake to scrub off some speed. But most of the time I just make that mental adjustment and deal with it not being like a bike.

Yes you can add a brake
I to have ridden sport bikes for years, more than 40 but I can tell you this, I thought the same,
where are my levers??? I thought it would be hard to ride without them but after a short time
you get to the point where you don't miss them or even feel the need. The Spyder is very car like.
The only thing I have noticed is they put a very small brake pedal on the GS/RS models and
it needs to be enlarged.

don't know how old you are but arthritis is pretty common among us folks who have ridden two wheelers for 40 years or more
My first spyder had standard shift with hand clutch because i didn't think I wanted to give up shifting. Now that the arthritis has worsened..- the hand clutch was painful and a hand brake would be more pain.. I love the footbrakes and semi auto transmission now and will ride pain free for many more years.

I found that an SM needs a handbrake, and the SE doesn't…. If I had a SM, I would have a hand brake, but the SE is so different from all of my other bikes, that I found it not necessary.
I've had dozens of bikes, and the RS was as close to a Sport Bike as I've ever been able to tolerate - it's now an RT…..
