• 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.

RT Handle Bars to RS~S

There was a thread a short time past where someone swapped handle bars from an RT (2013) to an RS~S (2013).... Has anyone done this with an older Spyder 2012 or back?

I want to put RT handlebars on my 2011 RS~S. The grips are taller and sweep back a few inches. This will make my RS~S more comfortable to ride.

Anyone have experience in this??

This will not work on any bike earlier than 2013 because they changed the design in 2013. For 2013 all models use the same style handlebars with same mounting configuration. Sorry
 
Handlebar alternatives.....

You may find it to be a more effective and less expensive option to do as I did to get an
upright riding position.
My dealer fitted Helibars along with the Can-Am 1" riser. Take a look:

This gave me two extra inches of height and five inches closer to me. It works well and my old back
thanked me for it as I now can sit upright. Hope this helps you.
