• 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.

GPS using BRP gps mount

I got the BRP version of a GPS mount as part of my:spyder: purchase package. :thumbup:I already owned a Magellan Roadmate 1440 which I have used with great success in my truck and my wife's Camray so I didn't want to spend big bucks on another gps for Spyder.:(

I do some hobby woodworking and never throw anything away.

The BRP gps mount kit includes a special casting designed to fit on the :spyder:handlebars, two 1 inch RAM ball mounts, a clamp to connect the two RAM balls and wiring to hard wire a gps unit into the :spyder:electrical system.

My Roadmate 1440 is one of the models that no one makes a cradle for that can be attached to the RAM system. Using scrap plexiglass, MDF and mostly hardware I had around the shop, I created the holder for my unit. I use the plug in power for the gps. I plug it into the switched 12V outlet I installed in the trunk. When I turn the key on, the gps wakes up. The shade was made from a 50 cent poly folder from Walmart. I have enough material to make another if this one gets destroyed.
