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.

So I see them on EBay, but what the heck is your reserve on these -- I've been popping the price up and have yet to hit your reserve. ??
I just finished installing these on my Spyder today and my wife loves them. They are a tight fit, but fit and look like they were OEM. Tony sent 4 pins to use with the new setup, but I used two of the originals since they were shorter and do not have the extensions showing. I also ordered the exhaust lowering bracket and installed it at the same time.

Why lower the exhaust? Are the passenger's feet to close to the exhaust after installation of the rear peg extensions?
That depends on what kind of exhaust you have on your Spyder. Let's say you have a stock exhaust. That has a pretty large can on it. Anytime your relocate the passangers feet with an extension. You will put their right foot closer to the exhaust can. In order to avoid any shoes melting on the can, or the passangers right foot getting hot, you may want to lower the exhaust. Most after market exhausts that I have seen, the cans have a much smaller diameter. So lowering the exhaust isn't really necessary.
I lowered mine exhaust (hindle) before I relocated the rear foot pegs. Only because I prefer the straight back look to the exhaust, rather than the angle of the stock position.
So, the option to lower the exhuast is entirely up to the owner of the spyder.

Yes I saw that. That's with the stock exhaust. Can-Am's version of these extensions also lowers the exhuast. The Exhaust can, and pleanty of room plus it has the heat shield.
I could be mistaken but, I believe BRP is coming out with a heat shield for the stock pipe, that looks just like the hindle

Tony: are you still offering the exhaust lowering bracket, if needed? I didn't see that in your new auction.
The heat shield does mimic the Hindle shield and is currently available. It does two things. It helps cover up the huge stock black can and covers the burn spot. Some dealer have given it to owners as a way to address burn spot, but even if you have to pay $60 it is a nice touch. It is a little delicate to install, but it looks nice on. You have to look twice to tell it's not the Hindle, but the sound is still a dead giveaway.
Nice to know for those who have the Stock pipe. Do you have one? Have you posted Picts?
