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.

Backwards and forwards...
Now it is absolutely perfect. The backrest cradles my lower back and helps me to sit in a more healthy position ( I realized that I start to slouch while riding and my lower back started aching). AND my wife has got more room sitting in the back which is really important because a grumpy wife in the passenger seat is the worst back pain...Hihihi..get it?

What model or does it matter, I have the comfort seat and drivers backrest for it, mine pushes me too far forward so would like to back it off a little bit.

It does pay to read the instructions.

It was installed when I picked it up...
I didn't get the instructions!
But whatever. I figured it out anyway!
Backrest Paperwork
Seems like you have to stand on your head with the dealers to get your installation paperwork when having them do the labor, must be scared we are going to do it better, huh!

is that adjustment screw only on the F3's or does the OEM backrest for the 2014 RT's have an adjustment as well ?

An ultimate is a completely different seat than OEM stock or comfort seat, I checked my comfort seat and cannot get the zippers for the cover to even move, so left it alone rather than break the zipper.

The RT's OEM backrest is NOT adjustable. A $22K F3's backrest is adjustable but a $30K RT Limited's is not?? I sit too far forward also with my crotch almost on the glove box. Someone suggested putting some washers as spacers under the seat to tilt the backrest back a little, but the shop told me today they tried to do it and it didn't really seem to make much difference. They said there's some BRP/Can Am something or other internally about the issue, so what that means for us I don't know. Just installed a Baja Ron sway bar and getting ready to try it out.

Thanks Wipp. I have been considering one but was concerned that it would not hit me right. I'm glad to hear it does. I got my windshield on this weekend, my footboards came in today, sounds like another piece of the puzzle for ultimate comfort.
Dealers
They do not want you to have the instructions, might save you a few dollars. I have it put on work order to give me instruction sheets if they install..

Would like to know how to unzip the zipper with no end tabs on them in case I need to remove cover. I just adjusted mine tighter and it does not require you to remove cover. Take backrest out of slot where you can bend installation bar with long screw on it and expose the adjustment screw. It takes an 10MM allen wrench and let out to tight...good luck:banghead:
