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.

Give me a week or so.... I've had the Helibar risers here for a while and between work and the house, I'm finally going to be able to put them on over the next two weeks of vacation. Weather has been so ducky here that I haven't been able to ride much anyway... I will video the install.
I really like the look of the helibar risers though and I did order the powerlet and ram ball panel. I'm just waiting on my PC-8 power bus to arrive and I'll be installing everything.

kewl bars rocks!!!
I went with the Kewl bars and center console. Glad I made the choice. I know when I attend events everyone always ask. Where did you get the console and the bars sit back perfect. I have a couple of different enlays Matt at Kewl made for me. He also Powder coated a set of ISO grips. You can't beat it. On the long rides I hear a lot of folks complain about arm and hand cramps. Not me!!!! Also have the Kewl cup holder, ipod and gps mounts.

I've got two ram balls already mounted to my CHAD brackets and will also be installing two more powerlets in the dash as many have done.
THe two in the dash will be switched outlets via the PC-8 bus, and the powerlet in the risers is going to be unswitched. I'll probably use that mostly for my battery tender.
Now, I keep my GPS on the ball up near the CHAD... Beats looking down at a GPS and keeps it in my field of view. The Riser outlet can be for anything else I need.... I'm looking at an XM weather proof radio currently. Between 3 Ram balls and 3 powerlets, I should be able to have pretty much anything I need up front for nav, Comm, and entertainment.

Heli
I ordered my Heli without sitting on anything except the stock configuration. My wife is about 5'2" and I am 5'11". I felt the Heli bar would give the best position that was more rearward rather than up. I am pleased with it and I really like the custom look of the GPS mount. I ordered the power outlet and RAM mount for the Garmin 550. The Heli is a top quality mount and the steering locks with the key as it does in the stock position.
As others have said, there no connection between the DPS and any riser. With the Heli, BRP comfort seat and Spyder City floorboards, it is very comfortable for either of us to ride.

Amanda, Spyder City is a site sponsor and their ad is on the cover page. They are located just outside of Ft. Wayne.

:agree: With the stock windscreen on, I have tried moving forward on the seat and sitting up more and don't like the way it feels. Not sure I would like the way it feels even with a higher windscreen. Like you said, just feels like I'm too far above the bike, unstable.

They are a bolt-on installation with one hole drilled for each side.. The lower panel is cut to make room for your feet but Spyder City sells the panels already cut so you can keep your original panels to return to stock. While they are not shiny and glamorous, they are very functional and comfortable especially after installation of the handlebar risers which makes the stock pegs uncomfortable, IMH.

Hi
I also am interested in making a change to my , is there some way you could put a photo or two on this sight? I would like to see your setup with the cup holder and all the goodies I just can't picture the setup. I have seen the ones that you need to cut and they look great but I am not sure that's the way I want to go. I sure am glade I looked here on Spyder Lovers. Thank you for any thing you can do to help me out:spyder: I really don't want to make a mistake.
Thank you again
Chuck
