• 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.

For those of us with a non-BRP trailer...wiring the Spyder to work with an aftermarket trailer can be a PITA...no more
Show Chrome accessories aka Big Bike parts PN 41-162 now sells an isolated trailer wire harness for the Spyder
toughest part of the job are the panel removals...then its plug and play...one plug for right tail light...one for the left...ring terminal to positive extension post (bolt & washer provided) and ring terminal to neg post Voila!! done
you still need to source the appropriate 5 way connector to match your trailer....

Good to hear, i had the dealer order the BP harness & they are going to install it 7 the hitch on Monday. Thanks, MarcusB
 
OK... Value Accessories (Site Sponsor) Sells the Show Chrome wiring harness and hitch for the Spyder. 5 wire system. Mini Trailer USA (Site Sponsor) sells Trailers with a 4 wire system. :gaah: I am seriously considering purchasing these items but do not know how to make them compatible. any suggestions. I only have a $2000.00 budget to work with so BRP products are out of the question.

Frank, Although hardly search friendly, the SL site has loads of information on trailer harness wiring. Following is a link to one with my comments. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?72017-TrailerWiring-Converter&p=883293#post883293
