• 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.

Has anyone ordered one of these key fobs?

I have a 2014 rt it came with 2 key sleeves that work great. I have one haning from a loop clip from belt loop key locks in and stays put till I jerk it out to use.. so see if your dealer has one to fit your key.

I prefer Kenn's method as I don't want anything flopping around the ignition lock. On out of town trips the second Spyder key goes in the frunk/trunk and an Ilco X270 key that will unlock the frunk/trunk but can't start the Spyder goes in my wallet.
 
The benefit of owning a 2008 GS is I use an IPS, and leave it in the ignition. If it's stolen, I didn't leave the key in the ignition.:dontknow: I've gotten my money's worth out of my spyder. I've got more important things to think about.

Oh yeah, lot of people lose wallets.
 
Well....

Have seen several like that and they work well. There is another that clamp onto the key that is quite nice. I have no problem with the sheath on a lanyard and carry a dupe in my poket. The one your getting is nice I like the Y logo on it....does it match your spyder.....:thumbup:

Yes, I ordered what I think will match. It's brown leather with a red R initial and a black Y logo. I was going to get a small, soft, plush fob for it. Probably an emoji...I don't want all my keys flapping around up there.

I used the clip that came with the Spyder but I never felt secure with is and purchased one like the link above. I absolutely love it.

Mine didn't come with anything. I only have one key, so I'm extra paranoid. I have a second key that is not cut or programmed yet.
 
:agree: I saw that, and really hoped that we weren't talking about dollars... :yikes:

Oh; my key is drilled, and is working just fine! :thumbup:
 
I use

Lamont's IPS...have used for all my years of ryding...never had an issue. 2nd key I have on a keychain and is always on my person when ryding any further than to town....Read to many stories of folks locking keys in or misplacing and then the 2nd key is locked in Frunk or saddle bags!!! :yikes:
 
fob

Spyder Twyn I have the exact one you ordered and do'nt care for it. When you push the key down to unlock the frunk the case slides forward and makes it almost impossible.
 
OEM sheath

Thats odd, i absolutely love the OEM Sheath, it allows you to hook to a key chain and the remove to put in the bike so you dont have to worry about a ring or other keys dangling and scratching the spyder. Lots of people have had them for years without the key ever coming out. In fact i have never really read of any problem with them. i just wish they had the same thing with my yamaha. I had to rig a two piece key chain set up and superglue one half to the key to get the same effect as the spyder sheath. I actually have a couple spare sheaths i think since i didnt send them in with my trade :)
 
I hear you... :thumbup:
But I just can't get my feeble brain wrapped around the idea of a "friction-fit" item; lasting for a protracted length of time. :shocked:

I'm a big fan of the BRP sheath as well. Your suspicion seems reasonable, but doesn't seek to be the case. Mine have been in use for three years now (six months before I owned my Spyder - it was a demo) and both keys still fit in their respective scabbards as tightly as the day they were new. :thumbup:

I have a fear of being a LONG way from home and losing my one and only key, especially since I find myself losing things more and more as I get older (I'll soon be 66). I paid the $50 or so for a second programmed key. I then started using the new key and hid the original key in the rear trunk. The peace of mind was worth the money to me.
