• 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.

Handlebar setback options

I just bought an 08 GS. Am told the handlebars have been set back but I'd like them back even more. Ideally so I'm able to sit without leaning forward at all like an RT. Is that doable?

We have the HeliBar risers on our 08. Moves it 4" back and 1" up, still using the stock cables although I had to cut a few of the factory zip ties to get additional slack.
Heli bars are what I have on mine, I have before and after pics Ill see if can post so you can see. posted the pics before remember now but they are upside down not sure how to fix that. In this link...http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?57400-HELI-Bars-Rock&p=681389#post681389

Anything is doable. I saw one where the BRP handlebars were removed and a standard motorcycle handlebars were installed. That way if you need to sell it, you have the BRP handle to set it back to stock. This is very doable and it looked cool.

id like to just put RT bars on my GS but you would have to replace most of the cables/lines. With the revco risers i have on they are at their limit.
