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.
New bike - upgrades?

I'm all about the farkles... 
But I'd have to suggest that you log some "saddle-time" first, and see what you think about making changes. nojoke
:welcome::congrats:

I would highly recommend the bumpskid from Spyderpops. He is a sponsor on this forum homepage. Also, I would recommend a third brake light from Custom Dynamics. They are also a site sponsor. Both of these items can be installed yourself with a minimum of mechanical ability. I am in that class!!

I also recommend logging some seat time before going to far with the farkleing. I like lights and most of the time I have those installed at set up time. A few more miles later, I then end up making a decision on a seat/backrest set up. Four :spyder2:'s so far have seat and backrest modifications for me.

Have to agree..!!

:agree: you will get no end to recommendations but like Bob said get some miles and read here about the difference farkels and mods. Then I suggest you go for those that help with comfort and safety first then move on and on and on and you get the picture..!! :thumbup:

Welcome to the world of Can Am.
Stay away from the CONFORT SEAT. I bought one for a few dollars short of 2k installed. Its no better then the seat that came with the bike except for the backrest. Install a backrest on the stock seat.
Do you really need a $1000. radio? I bought a SCALA RIDER radio, the in helmet speakers are a little week but their ok for around town. I have SERISXM for long trips which I will drop in August because the cost will double to renew. They don't tell you that when you first sigh up.
BEEFED UPED ANTI SWAY BAR IS A MUST DO, CROSS WINDS WILL PUSH YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. BAJARON (don't know if the spelling is right), very easy to install, hardest part is getting the bike 21" off the floor.
I will be installing a Garman GPS TODAY.
Good luck with your new ride, don't be afraid to ask questions, the riders on this site are very helpful.

One thing I found!
Before Baja Ron Started making the anti-sway bar I got the Fox Racing Shock and Anti Sway Bar Kit From BRP. A 200.00 upgrade, and let me tell you it Is Well Worth the $$$$. I have to Add that My :spyder2: was all over the road, in a good wind or on the interstate. So I Had to do something.... But Like other posters have said. Ryde for a while before you decide! Have a Blast, and Ryde Safe!!! KUBIE
