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 thought that Shawn said they can sell the rack in the U.S. but not the bags as they are authorized only for Canadian Givi sales. I may be wrong about that as my wife kept telling him that we would be willing to drive to the U.S. / Canada border for the rack, or was that the bags. I don't remember.
One thing is for sure, he has developed a nice looking rack system. The only problem is the use of non stainless bolts that rust but he said he is working on that problem. I guess that means stainless bolts or a better rustproof black coating on the bolts. Already mine have a tinge of rust showing in the allen socket heads. The only other problem is he hasn't finalized the design of the top bag rack that goes with the saddle bag rack. Once that it done, it will be one of the nicest looking and performing rack systems out there. His latest version was on his Spyder and looked very nice but he said he's not happy with the performance of it.

Also can you take a pick of what they look like open? Your pictures are big enough to see. When I went to their web site the pictures there weren't much bigger than thumbnails. What did the whole setup run? They look great without the outrageous cost of the Corbins.bjt said:

I found Shawn's link to Youtube videos of his rack system on the SpyderTalk site. He's got nine other videos showing the manufacturing process for the rack and one other demo video.
I am working on getting my pictures right now. I should have them uploaded and on here in a few minutes.
Being Shawn was selling them for 20% off in Valcourt during The Homecoming, I paid about $790 for the rack and the two Givi V35 bags. widowmaker2011 from the SpyderTalk forum told me that TwistedThrottle.com has the best prices on Givi bags. The regular price on the rack is $350. I don't think there are any american distributors of the rack yet but Shawn has said that you can contact him at [email protected] to find out some Canadian dealers who will sell and ship to the U.S.

Wish I'd of seen this a few days ago. I could of saved $123 bucks. Although the price I got them for was cheaper than a lot of others. Sooooo?
Woops I take that back I was looking at the flat black prices. But I got the gloss black and the total price difference is only $15.00 on them. So I don't feel so bad ater all.

That rack system looks great!!!! I really like how the Givi bags look on the spyder. One question that you may or may not be able to answer right away. I asume from your attach points that the side rack system and a bushtec hitch would not work on the same vehicle...???? Did you get a chance to look at Lamonts and see if that is a true assumption?
Thanks!

Hey little John, I did see the Bushtec setup but I was pretty busy on the weekend to get a close look, does any one have some detailed pictures of their system?
