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.

Dunno about the RS but installing them after the BajaRon sway bar on my 2012 RT made a positive difference in stability. I noticed it mostly on the highway.

Great web site, but I can't find a listing for the shock relocators. Anyone know how to order?

I've tried PMs and email; my guess is to give them a call. :thumbup:
Cannot find them on the website??

If the lower links are tight; take a peek at the uppers...
You'll just have to pop up the a-arm covers for decent access.
(maybe five screws hold them on?)

Having added the Bajaron Swaybar and His HEMI Joint links the final job was to fit the Pitbull Powersports Relocator brackets to my Spyder RT-S SE5 2010 Model
Fitted my Pitbull Powersports Relocator brackets and some may find these tips helpful :-
Watch the Pitbull Powersports Relocator brackets installation video first on You tube as a guide
I already had Elka's Shocks fitted so did not need to touch the lower shock bolts
Even with the Spyder jacked up its best to have someone assist you as they can lift the wheel to help line up the new brackets and holes with the bolts etc
Note - All my bolts went it without any problems
I found we could not get the relocator brackets into the frame – This is because on one side there was a small metal clip which secures wires to keep them away from the shocks
Once the small clip is removed the new relocator brackets slide in easy
I just used cable ties to re secure the wires away from the shocks
I managed to put the bolts on each side with the Heads & washers at the rear of the Relocator brackets and the Washer, Nyloc nut and Dome nut at the front (There was also enough room to fit a dome nut on the bolts which gives a much better finish) – I did not need to cut any plastic away
You will need an Allen key to tighten up the back M10 X 30 bolt on the relocators as a socket wrench may keep hitting the top A frame cover
Whilst on the subject of the top A frame cover if you have Elkas fitted they come very close or may even hit the plastic covers due to the new angle of the shocks
I trimmed mine using a dremmel tool – I had to do mine with the A frame in place as the shocks runs through the middle of the A frame covers
It may pay to remove the A frame covers to allow them to be modified before putting the relocators on
The top A frame covers may only need trimming where the curve is (There is about 1/4” plastic lip that hangs down this just needs to be trimmed back to give plenty of clearance )
After fitting the relocators you may find the front of the Spyder is raised by about 40mm
adjustment may need to be made with the shocks to alter this or fine tune the suspension to your preference
Just for info I used Allen socket head 4 x Stainless Steel M10 x 70mm bolts
4 x Stainless M10 washers, Nyloc Nuts, Dome Nuts
Allen socket head 2 x Stainless Steel M10 x 30mm bolts M10 washers and Spring Washers
I have taken some pictures to show what has been done - it can be found in the Album gallery see : -
