• 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.

Chrome Heat shield and Exhaust Tip

I bit the bullet and bought the accessory from BRP and it came today. I was pleased that it only took 2 and a half months to get it. Got home replaced the exhaust tip and went for the heat shield and just had to smile. The third bold is under the right saddlebag and I had to remove the right side panel to get to it. Not a big deal, but just one of those scratch your head times....

You are 100% right about that 3rd bolt! I told that to a guy today at SpyderFest and you could see his heart sink! He's not in the mood to remove tupperware to put in one bolt.

BUT... the end results are pretty cool looking!:ohyea:
 
You want a challeng ? Try doing the chrome handle bar cover or the foot peg support .:gaah::gaah:

I think BRP missed the boat on the chrome by not offering it as a option on a built bike off the production line .

Yeahhhhh about those.... I looked at Lamonster's and.... nope! I'm a geek not a glutton for punishment :)
 
Perhaps they should have simply installed all of the chrome goodies on the Limited model to further differentiate it from the RTS??? :dontknow:
How about some pics of the chromed-out exhaust...
I need to dangle another project in front of my Missus in order to start her screaming... :roflblack::ohyea:

Wow, your missus is easy going! Here is an example of a recent Spyder mod conversation at our happy home..

Me: "Honey, I was thinking.."

Her: " NO AND THAT'S FINAL! NOW GO CUT THE LAWN OR SOMETHING!":yikes:

Me: "Yes,dear"

:D:joke:
 
Here is the way it goes at my house-- Honey, I was (she gives that look with her eye brows raised) and I finish with going to mow the grass. :bowdown: :bowdown:
 
For those thinking of doing the Handlebar... Please see this link as I have posted the Instructions. As far as I am concerned this is a weekend job that would include folks adding the electronic air horns, and HID's and power commanders as the front end is pretty well torn down to say the least.

Also... As I looked into the foot rest area I learned the the drivers side is very easy to do, but the passenger side requires a serious amount of the tuppeware to be removed and I guess part of the brake mechanism??? Sorry, no instructions... I decided to wait on that one :thumbup:

Phil, Thanks! :2thumbs: They look great... now I'm gonna be in more trouble! :D

Draboo & ItsIts... Wow! They must have been triplets! :shocked: :roflblack:
 
Looks really good. I like the lower chrome. That must get lite up really nice with your lights under the passenger footrest.
 
I'd like to "pull the trigger" on these farkles, but am always nervous about the mechanical nightmares that I may cause. does anybody have a set of instructions for the chome tip and heat shield that they could maybe fax to me??
PM me please... :opps: :thumbup:
Thanks!
