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.

Yeah, but I bet it looks cool as :cus: !! I have been on the fence on doing this for a while now but I am slowly tilting toward fender removal. So no more brackets to worry about OR that stupid license plate light to have to replace every few months!

dltang's had hers fixed under warranty three times and I fixed it twice more because we didn't feel like riding 45 minutes to the dealer and leaving it for a day or two. Some of the repairs were to the bracket mounting tabs on the swingarm. The sixth and last time, we just removed the fender. Mine was fixed twice under warranty and once by me before I ended up removing the fender all together. I attribute our rear fender problems to the rough roads in our area.

Mine cracked on both sides and were replaced at 20K miles...

Specifically Genesee county. I think we have some of the worst main roads in the US. Potholes are repaired by throwing some tar in them making a 4 - 6 inch hole a 2 inch hill. Then in the winter, plow trucks catch that tar mix and tear it out along with some more base road material. Then they refill it in the summer making bigger expanses of rough road. Some roads have been stuck in that cycle for over 10 years now, just getting rougher and rougher.

Rear fender brackets replaced under warranty...
At about 35,000 miles I had my cracked rear fender brackets replaced. This was the first test of my Western Service Contract extended warranty and they covered it without any hassle at all.

Both brackets had splits and were replaced under warranty last year. Just recently, the tab on the swingarm broke off. BRP offered 1 hour labor to fix.

Mines gone too !!! I took mine off because it looks way better without it.
I just had my third set replaced under warranty. I go through a set about every 10000 km. :gaah:
I'd rather see a redesigned set come out to fix the problem, but I guess having them replaced for 'free' is better than nothing.

Pogo.
Brp replaced whole swing arm when that tab broke on my spyder.
I had bracket replaced also and it is just starting to showing cracks again after 25k on new ones.

I went for the ultimate upgrade before they broke - a RT S…

The bracket on the swing arm of mine broke which lead to the breakage of the fender braces. Both the braces and the swing arm were replaced under warranty at about 18K miles.
