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.

Google Polaris coil spring spacers
Online or check at your local Polaris dealer... http://www.2wheelpros.com/oem-parts...47dP91t4IdtJpkoBQ2SzgXxOgy_G9sKmmQaApKm8P8HAQ
Cut the rings into 1/3 rds and jack up front of the Spyder to take the weight off the coils. Lube the spacers with soapy water, and use a combo of wedge or prybar to twist between coils in the middle to slide them in. I think they do well to help stiffen up the front springs. :clap:

I've been using the above rubber spacers, cut into pieces of
about 1 1/2 inches wide, 4 or 5 per coil. You can add or
take out to suit you. They've been in ever since I got the '14 and work fine. Easy, cheap, works; whats not to like?

Yep.. whats not to like...
Put one 2 inch segment each in between the middle of the coils on the fronts, and used two pieces on the rear shock coil. Have two more pieces as spares or if the wife wants them on hers, but she's kinda particular about my fiddlin' with HER RIDE!!! Just checked the spacers, and they're right where I placed them 5,000 miles ago. Not sure how to measure the amount of stiffening or change to the Spring Rate, but they added about a half inch to the front end clearance. Need to check again with the wife's ride to see how they're holding up.

They will stay put; mine have for over 20K. I started with
three in the front, rode it over some uneven roads to judge
the stiffining, added another which suited me till more recently I added one more. They are relatively hard to cut unless you have a good hack saw or even better, a band saw.
