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.

:agree: Got a set for me and the wife. They are perfect. Can be worn over whatever else you have on, cold or warm. They breathe but are really waterproof. Got a seat cover for the stock seat made of the same material from the Ultimate seat people. It is for their seat, but fits the stock saddle too.
Bring on the rain. I am ready!

Rain gear is a funny thing, what works for one is like standing under the shower for another. It is also an area where you generally get what you pay for. There are good suits by FirstGear, Tourmaster/Cortech, BMW, FroggToggs, and others. Some of the newest CanAm gear has been said to be good, and the Harley gear is top notch...if you like orange and black. Things to look for include ease of putting on in a hurry, wide zipper flaps that fold over double when closed, velcro sleeve closures (unless you have big wrists), stirrups on the pants legs to keep them down, velcro neck closures with tight necks, hoods to fit under your helmet, high necks (any thing that sticks out above it will wick water), breathable high-tech fabric, reflective piping or panels, bright colors for visibility, heat protectors on the legs, and double end cuffs for sleeve and leg. Two piece suits are easier to get in and out of, but can leak in a downpour. Don't buy too large, lest they flap in the wind and bunch up in front when you sit, creating a lake that will collect water and leak. One piece suits are dryer, but can be tough to get in and out of. Make sure you try them on to see that you can get into them with your boots on, in the rain.
I like the BMW coverall for a one-piece suit. My favorite two-piece is the Technics, but it may no longer be available. In the FirstGear and Tourmaster, the higher priced versions work best. FroggToggs don't work for me, but others like them. Get the motorcycle versions...they are more durable. I often wear two layers of rain gear...a good riding suit covered by a rainsuit. If you ride enough in the rain, you will get wet, but with luck, and careful selection of a suit, you can keep it to a minimum. JMHO

We have Frogg Toggs. Light weight and water proof and reasonably priced. FBC sells them.
Bought a Frogg Toggs 2piece rain suit from Bajaron (site sponsor). Wore in in a gully washer down pour while ryding to Lamont's BBQ last September. Suit worked for me. Contact Bajaron...can't go wrong with his products, prices, and service.

check out frogg toggs . they are light weight and work quite well and they do come in 2 piece sets..they also take very little space when packaged and not in use...the only problem i found with them if they touch any parts of your exhaust they will melt... with a can am that should not be a problem...also the price is very reasonable..in our area you can purchase these for about $160.00 for a complete 2 piece set..

Can Am makes a top/bottom rain suit. I guess depends on how much you want to spend. I paid about $160 for my Can-am black and green 2 piece rain suit, got to test it after the tornado outbreak on Christmas day in Semmes, Alabama, worked well.:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

Here's a vote for TourRider raingear. They've kept my butt completely dry and comfortable for over 35 years of riding... :thumbup:

We use the Nelson-Rigg SR-6000 Stormrider 2-Piece High Visibility Yellow Rainsuit. Easy to put on, durable and keeps us completely dry. About $50 a set and various colors available.

Protection from rain and .....
"I live in San Diego so I don't need warmth,Just protection. I also need separate top and pants."
"I often wear two layers of rain gear...a good riding suit covered by a rainsuit."
I know you're talking about protection from the rain, but, as Scotty said, a good riding suit is a good idea. And a good riding suit is generally all you need for protection from the pavement and the rain. It's really convenient to ride into and out of the rain without having to stop and get dressed or undressed.
Of course, you are going to pay more for protection from the pavement. If you are interested in that, you will do your research and find what fits and works. I happen to like my Aerostich Darien Light for all season riding. Most people are scared away by the price, but you guys spend all those big bucks for your farkles and sparkles. I just spent my big bucks for a good riding suit.
