• 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.

Mono Seat Cowl & Sport Rack?

Does anyone have photos of these together on a Spyder? I'm not visualizing how they'd work together. Are they perhaps mutually exclusive? Thanks!
 
not sure where you are going with this post? I have the sport rack, back rest. I can still seat my mono cowl on the back but it is pointless to have the BRP backrest attached with the mono cowl attached....still it makes a strange statement: I COULD take you with me, but I choose not to. Mono Cowl will fit in the trunk, as the backrest will also fit (if trunk is empty).
 
You gotta choose one or the other. I went with sport rack and backrest.

I bought my Spyder with the sport rack option and wanted to see if it could still be used as a rack (not as a seat back platform) when the mono cowl was in place. I think I'll wander over to a dealer when I have some timme, as I'm pretty clearly not communicating well.:dontknow:
 
I'm not a fan of the sport rack look ,prefer the mono cowl and stock tail piece.Problem is I need a backrest for the wife.By the sounds of the above post though you can use your mono seat cowl with the sport rack as csmead has said.Anyone found a solution of mounting the backrest without the rack?:ohyea:
 
MMG sells a backrest that works with the stock tail piece. The backrest is not as stout as the BRP one but works well.
 
Went into Paulson's Motorsports in Lacey, Washington and spoke with Chris, their "Spyder Guy". He rydes a beautifully painted (copper) 2008 SM5 and was very knowledgeable about the Spyder. I picked up a pair of rear axle end caps for my ryde and asked about the sport rack and mono seat cowl cowl combination, which he said works fine.

I'd still like to see this setup...

On a separate note, although he sold forty Spyders in the past 15 months, I've only seen one around here. Might be all the hours I'm working, though.;)
