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.

As far as helmets are concerned you are totally wrong unless I misread your post. You can easily place one full face helmet (modular even) in the frunk and an equal sized one in the right side case.

What about a full faced helmet and a riding suit like an Aerostich or Motoport Kevlar? Would one be able to fit that in an RT?
As I used to say in my signature line: Comparing conventional single front wheel trikes to a CanAm RT in handling is like comparing a pretty, shiny, chrome plated Peterbuilt Log Truck to a 3 wheeled Corvette with handlebars. They got rid of the ol big red off road trikes WHY? They turned over in the woods too often! When you have to turn hard, suddenly, quickly, then hang on tight because the Spyder will turn RIGHT NOW!:yes:

I ride with wings and have no trouble keeping up. I think I can fit more stuff in my RT then you can in most GW trikes, by using duffle bags instead of "had side" stuff. the spyder does have some off curves in the luggage spaces at times. I prefer the spyder in general.
Price I was quoted 29,900 for a new spyder RT limited. Same dealer had a year old Wing converstion for $42,000.
If you are a GWRRA member you can take the GW trike course on a Spyder and it is a good one in either case

Actually, you can store one hemet in the frunk and another in the saddlebag on the right side (the left side is a little smaller, which I didn't figure out for nearly a year).

You must be doing something wrong...
Because I have a Shoei RF-1100 XXL and it fits in the frunk. I place it with the back end going in first with the face shield starring up at me. It may be snug and I place my gloves on top of the face shield to prevent scratches when closing the lid... But usually it closes without worry.
My wife has a motor trike gw 1800 and can fit a lot of stuff in that trunk, including two helmets along with coats, towels, clothes, etc. I think her trike kit has more storage by far, but I don't care too much either way. I just know that when we take the kids to the outlet mall, we fill them both up easily, lol.
I use bluetooth technology with communicating with my phone, listening to my saved music on the phone or talking to my wife through the intercom. I use a UClear HBC200 and we love it... It was on sale and has a built in micro phone to the speaker unit. Works extremely well and fits my helmet's ear hole indentations perfectly... Easy install.

Incorrect. I fit my wife's Medium full face HJC and my 3XL full face HJC in the front no problem. Both have Sena sets on them as well when they go in. Happy to take a pic to prove it. They have to go in the frunk in a specific order but they go in fine.

I just rewatched the Cowtown demonstration video. What I missed the first few times was that the luggage used in the video is the RTL semi-rigged luggage. Advantage RTL. The GoldWing trike used for the comparison is a Champion conversion. Having had one from '06-09, this demo failed to mention or utilize the over the rear wheel storage areas because none of the BRP luggage would fit into those areas. When we pack our GL1800 trike, soft bags are used. I'm glad the conclusion on storage was a draw under the biased conditions.
I'm still working hard to strike a deal on a Pearl White '14/'15 RTL.
