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.

me too
On another note, I do notice that, sometimes, I get a little shudder on take off in 1st (SE5), and sometimes in reverse. Seems to go away when it's warmed up, but, again, only had it for 5 days.

But it seems after a 1/4 to 1/2 mile after it starts to warm up a little it is good.

Works great, it solved most of the issues. I may decide to do the side panels over the winter for added cooling. I have to wait a while, already spent way more $'s on this Spyder than I intended. My Elka's just shipped yesterday, front & rear. So I think I am finished for the season with upgrades.

Do you want a pic of the bike with the panels or the invoice?

In post #483 I noted that when I rode home from the dealer with the new panels, the temp on the left side was 162 degrees (F) so I thought there was no improvement. It is quite hot in AZ this time of year, over 100 plus the relentless sun beating on everything. So just for fun, I parked my Nissan Xterra in the driveway in the sun this morning. It is about the same color yellow as the Spyder. In less than an hour the side of the X was 158 degrees. So I can't say the new Spyder panels won't be an improvement. I just won't be able to really find out for a few months.

Mine took a couple weeks from Powersports warehouse also for some reason.
I think they had told me everything came in quick except for one part...and they wait to ship it all together.

Maybe you all should try writing a nice email to BRP about the heat issues you're experiencing and that people have reported that the panels resolve their issue. It worked for Jaque Tanis.... nojoke I wouldn't count on the dealers going to bat for you. The sad truth is that it takes time for them and if they don't think that BRP will warranty it they aren't going to spend a single second doing it. As much time as everyone spends on this site talking about the issue and how to get the part numbers and where to get the best deal and etc, etc.... you could just take an afternoon off from Spyderlovers and focus that time on drafting a nice letter to send to BRP :thumbup: Maybe if enough emails get sent they'll open up and recall the old panels. The thing that would be the toughest is those of us who have already purchased the panels... That gets sticky

I did that. BRP just referred me to the dealer to order the panel kit. Of course, I just wrote one time, I think Jaque had extended correspondence and records of her attempts at resolving the issue. My dealer service guy told me that it seems the people who take the time and effort that Jaque did are more likely to get BRP attention and get resolution. Those like me who ask once, get ignored, just take care of it ourselves and be done with it.
See post #506.
Cost me 743, installed by dealer. Took just under a week for them to get the kit direct from BRP.
