• 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.

Nut on the rear wheel?

Okay, silly question...

Do you have a nut, or cap, on the bolt through the rear tire? :dontknow:

I've just noticed that the end of the bolt has a cotter pin, like it should, but it looks unfinished.

My SE5 came with a cap over it but my dealer said they just started putting them on
 
Actually, I covered the nut wth the cap off a bottle of Powerade... fits perfectly and hasn't fallen off in almost 300 miles! (and a really cheap mod!)

I had a nut on my rear tire when I came out of the filling station the other day. I asked him to get off... ;)

I would like to know the price of the BRP rear axle nut cover since I have the Gatorade cap (painted black) on mine. My guess is $20 based on the price of other accessories. BRP has probably been watching this site and stole the idea and went out and bought a bunch of plastic bottle caps.
 
Sorry about the delay, went out to bike night.

Please don't ask why they're different part numbers if they're both the same..:dontknow: I haven't seen them yet, so the cotter pin may require that one is bigger...don't know yet.

4 bucks each.
 
:coffee: The left BRP rear axle nut cover is bigger. All new SM5's are coming with this covers. I'll post pics today.

It should not cost anything, if one guy gets it everyone should be entitled....its kind of like HEY you forgot a piece of my SPyder please send it out to me now situation. If you baught a car and found out that one of the windows was missing, would you go to the parts counter and BUY one? I doubt it.

Thanks, TwoDog--I just asked my dealer to order a set.
