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.

I was wondering the same as the OP. I watched the video and it appears they only extend far enough for your elbows to rest on them(assuming your passenger is a skinny person). I installed the Show Chrome armrests for my dad and his girl fits them great. She can rest her forearm on those. Why cant BRP do anything right? The finally made an armrest that looks stock, but isnt long enough for true passenger comfort. Their engineers suck!

I was interested also. Didn't find the U tube video on the install, just Can Am's video on the new product.

I just realized how long it had been since regularly monitoring Spyderlovers! Did not realize you had got a 10 anniversary RT Bob! Very nice, how are you liking it? Like most car models, you like to refresh every 4 yrs. LOL! Enjoy the ride. Sorry for getting off topic.:doorag:

Joel, it must be their models have different arm/elbow/forearm lengths or something, my wife has already sat on a spyder with the BRP armrests and her elbows to forearm fit perfect.
She's still deciding whether we'll get them for our Spyder, but she thought they worked great, folded up out of the way when not needed (mounting/dismounting), and my greatest concern, comfortably felt like she could put her full weight on one side while getting off the bike. Though I gotta admit, she's already fallen asleep back there on a sunny day riding through Wisconsin last year without the armrests.... Granted she is 5'8" and 130 lbs or so. She'd say their engineers hit it out of the park. But there are SO many different sized folks that they do seem optimally designed for a small group of folks, much smaller and they'd be too high etc.
I was happy that I could put some weight on them and didn't feel like they'd come off or damage the speaker housings. And I prefer the lift up versus the swing out design, but that's why there are so many variations (by different manufacturers) so folks who want chrome bars that swing away when needed or folks who want flip up when needed can have what they want.

Oh my, that's a very good looking Spyder. I believe my envy meter is pegged once again!

I guess that the fake news is out. BRP is trying to "Make America Uncomfortable Again" MAUA strikes again. Posted firmly tongue in cheek.

They do extend further forward than do the Borbin armrests...
The only thing my Missus said about them: they could use a little bit more padding...

Larry....I am in the process of installing these arm rests on my 2016RT. I can’t fingure out how to remove the antennae. How did you do it?.......thx....brian
update.....I figured it out. I left the antennae attached to the brass mounting block and detached the mounting block from the plastic speaker housing.
