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.

Tis the season for deer (not that it's a whole lot different the rest of the year).
Glad you won that round. I did my part to reduce the Pa deer population 2 years ago about this time on 2 wheels. Score: Ray 1 -- deer and bike 0. They totaled a $23k 3 month old bike with ~3k worth of repairs. Friend is an ins estimator and said they almost always total them now. Liability concerns if something is missed and crash ensues.

Have a couple questions. Dropped it off. Shop says they have to take all the pictures, determine damage and come up with preliminary parts/ labor etc cost for insurance. It usually takes 2 -3 days for State Farm’s to return with either fix or total. Shop said they have seen things totaled with less damage but admits it looks darn good for being hit by a deer! So here is what I have experienced and have been told by State Farm. If they total the bike, I have full replacement coverage. They will find the average selling cost in the surrounding area that compares to my bike and usually add a bit. They also have a formula to punch in for the KBB which is why it actually adds a bit they say. Take the original cost and add that in. Take the new cost and add that in. My guess is they will come back with 18-20K because of high demand right now. They will then ask for a list of accessories and “add no” more than $2000 on total with proof of pricing. No problem there due to our site sponsor websites. So if they should come back with 22K. I have way more than $2000 accessories just in shocks, Bar and LED lights, heated and gel seat, extra rear trunk shock. I may remove accessories that are over priced or easy parts to remove without hurting the integrity of the bike is allowed. No tires, exhaust, engine performance parts, tie rods, shocks, etc. may be removed. I don’t know if they will total it but want to be prepared for a quick uninstall in one night if needed. So here we go. Newer RT owners can you answer this please
#1 lid lox on older 2017 RT will they Fit on new 2020+ RT?
#2 spyder cuff older 2017 RT will it fit on new 2020+RT?
#3 Magic mirror components for old 2017 RT will it fit on new 2020+ RT? ( have all the parts just mirror housings are destoyed)
#4 Netting inside saddle bag and trunk to secure storage for old 2017 will fit a new 2020+RT
#5 revco spot lights I can install on new RT for sure
#6 Spyder accessories floating boards/pegs can not fit on new RT but can be removed. OEM floor board and passenger still installed
#7 Spyder pops skitplate. I know it can’t be transferred to new RT but not a scratch and still works fine.
#8 Knots grills are fine. Can’t be used but can be sold.

Glad to hear you are OK, I almost hit a group of deer when I was in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago. I was going up 233 on a drive through the Michaux Forest when I caught the glow of their eyes just off the side of the road before they crossed. A group of 8 of them.
Now is the time of year to watch out for the deer, it is rutting season.

I don't know about state farm but progressive paid out almost $10K to have my 2020 F3 re-framed after my accident in June. To quote my adjuster "Wow , I didn't know these things were worth this much now". Plus I had about $3k of accessories they were going to have to pay off on if they did total it.

They replaces the frame and all of the plastic, looks like brand new.
Fitment is only as good as you make the shop get it, look it over after the repair and point out any problems. There were a few minor ajustments on mine after repair and it looks awesome.
There was $12,000.00 in repaires.

The lady last night at State Farm’s said if they have to rebuild/ repair it, its totally covered with no deductible up to the value of the bike! Everything. If the value exceeds the original purchase price it automatically is totaled. If additional work needs done above and beyond the quote its covered. She looked up the value and luckily mine still says $29999 new which no one ever paid back then. They didn’t ask what I paid for it so I’m not offering any info, She said the same. “Wow” way more than she expected.

Glad to hear you're basically ok. Just prepare yourself for the probability that you'll need to get a lawyer involved. The insurance company will try to lowball you.

I almost hit a deer on the home farm in central Idaho last week, but the tractor was too slow! :roflblack:
Yes it is rutting season most places so deer moving about day and night frequently. Our local paper publishes deer car collisions and the rate is going up, mostly during dark morning or evening hours so far. I hit a deer with my '21 RT near Pagosa Springs, CO in June and damage was only $850 with a $250 deductible. Was lucky not worse or on two wheels. The deer jumped just before impact and took off my right side mirror and bent throttle handle slightly. I also wear a Tech-Air vest and since there was no major impact nor me leaving the bike it did not inflate. I am glad you are ok!!

Wmoater, In my experience: #4 Netting inside saddle bag and trunk to secure storage for old 2017 will fit a new 2020+RT
No. I have purchased some of these and they are not a direct fit, not saying it cant be done, just not a easy fit.

Wmoater, glad to hear you are alright. Sounds like the Spyder held up well to the blow from the deer. Glad it protected you.
I have the same Spyder and good to hear it held together. Good luck with the repairs and dealing with insurance adjusters,
that can be fun.. please let us know what the dealer says and what the insurance decides to do for you.
Best of luck!

Glad you rode away unharmed to tell the story. Good luck on next steps.
If your Spyder looks like the one in your avatar and the rut on. Maybe she was looking for a little action.
Glad to hear you are ok and things work out with the Spyder.
Bikes can be replaced, people can't.

NO frame damage! Estimation from shop is $3466 and state farm has accepted the appraisal and it will be paid in full. No deductible since it was recorded as a deer stuck and the pictures provided the evidence. Shop is 4-5 weeks out but said most if not all the major parts look to be in stock. After completion if extra items/ damage are discovered or I need them to fine tune or replace then a supplementary payment can be made. This can be done up to completion date and 30 days after. Due to parts shortages there is no required finished date. I’m picking it up Monday and should get a pretty good idea then what is being replaced. So far so good. If it’s only plastic, housing etc I feel I can or fine tune if I’m not happy with their work on the second go around.
