• 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 BRP seat with pics . . . .

Had the new seat installed today, and many thanks to Ride Now Ocala and the great techs and parts guys. Kind of nice to have a dealer close by that seems to really care. Haven't put a lot of miles on the seat yet, only about 30 or so. But it's definitely a night-and-day thing from the stock seat (I imagine anything would be-- stock seat reminded me of sitting on a partially deflated baloon). I tried a Corbin (not a ride, but just sitting on one mounted on another Spyder) and found it to be very firm. It reminded me of the Corbin that is on my Road King-- it's a rock, but good for the long haul. The BRP seat is a bit softer, and for me it is very comfortable. Stitching is remarkable for a production seat. I do like the idea that it uses the original mount.

When it comes to seats, it's a personal preference as we all know. But I have to give a big thumbs up for this one!

:thumbup: Looking great!
 
Opticat,

I was fortunate enough to see Ira's (he's here sometimes) seat last week. I really like the look of it...it's more comfortable and nice looking...cool Spyder logo on it too.

Enjoy...I think you made a good investment in your bike and your comfort!
 
Thanks, guys, for the nice comments. The seat was $448.22 installed. Dealer was offering a 20-percent discount with installation.

Sounds like a good deal...I'd probably rip the darn thing putting it on...or put it on backwards, inside-out, etc...

Enjoy it!
 
:2thumbs: Looks good. I like that the passenger sits a tad higher and it looks like a slight tilt back instead of sliding forward. Great price to boot.
 
Remind me to not let you give me an adjustment!

"Oops", said the Doc. :roflblack:

You might be 'ata'...I'm 'BWB'...better with bodies! I'm learning more about my bike and enjoying it...but I'm certainly better with organic vs. inorganic forms!

Yeah...you never want to hear 'ooops' or 'whooops'...:roflblack::clap:

Same from our dealer as of yesterday...and ours has been on order even longer, a week after they actually were posted in the BRP parts fiche. Not sure why some dealers got a bunch quicker, but it sounds like some smart dealers ordered several for stock, and demand exceeded supply, like with the Hindles at first. BTW, they said our bags had shipped and the color panels were already in.
