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.
Looks like I'll get my RT back on the 29th

Questions on the Bike As You Test
1. How is the horn(s) and are they strong or weak like most bikes?
2. Lighting compared to the GS and other bikes you ride/riden? From the side? Outside of the head lights and tail lights are there other lights visible from the sides or are they all reflectors - hard to tell from the photos?
3. What is your accessory wish list that doesn't come from the OEM? (you mentioned highway pegs in one of your videos)
4. There is a 12V outlet at the dash for the driver or is that a headset connector? There is another outlet in the trunk? Is there an outlet near or for the passenger?
5. Does the glove box on top of the tank lock with the bike or is it always unlocked?
6. Has the size of the front end been enough to trigger the in-street signals for traffic lights or would you add a Green Light Trigger?
Thanks for you videos, photos and commentary. Looking forward to your next ones with the trailer in tow.:2thumbs:

Don't think I ever used it but I'll check when I get it back.

After running with HID's on my Spyder I can tell you the RT is in need of some HID's and front fender lights. I'm sure Magic Man will have those soon.
3. What is your accessory wish list that doesn't come from the OEM? (you mentioned highway pegs in one of your videos)
Drivers Backrest, Passenger Arm Rest, Universal GPS mount, Adjustable Handlebars, Driver Floor Boards
4. There is a 12V outlet at the dash for the driver or is that a headset connector? There is another outlet in the trunk? Is there an outlet near or for the passenger?
There is no 12v outlet on the dash. I wish there was one in the glovebox. That is a headset connector. The only 12v outlet is in the rear trunk.
5. Does the glove box on top of the tank lock with the bike or is it always unlocked?
It will lock with the handlebar lock.
6. Has the size of the front end been enough to trigger the in-street signals for traffic lights or would you add a Green Light Trigger?
Haven't found that to be an issue so far.

Try this. Meet somewhere close to the tow truck place and they do it for free or pretty cheap. May not work with a 18 Wheeler.
It will work with an 18-wheeler. That is exactly how we unloaded the demo Spyder that BRP provided to the London Police Service in August. :thumbup:

You added to my to buy and do list.
There's a big difference.
To do list sometimes requires work, as like around the house.
To buy list sometimes cost you thousands..........:yikes:
:roflblack::agree: Words of wisdom! I have never found a shortage of things "to buy"!
