• 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.

I have truly looked and can not find a site or Auto parts store that has sequential turn signals. I would like the ones that fit inside the side mirror and have an arrow that points in the direction you are turning. I think I just have to lift the mirror straight up. Is that correct. A link will be appreciated.

iJDMtoy.com These are much better than Tricled.
 
turn signal arrows

I really like the idea but how would you install this on an RT mirror? They're not too easy to disassemble without breaking plastic retaining tabs etc. I would probably need a video or very clear and precise instructions for the Spyder. Some pretty neat stuff on iJDMtoy.com site. Thanks for posting it RTVIPER. :thumbup:

Just ordered the amber ones from iJDMtoy.com....

Any advice or wisdom to share? Don't suppose you have pics?!

Thanks! They look awesome and once installed, I will be able to see if I forgot to cancel them.
Not to mention let others know that I'm turning/lane changing! :yes:

Can you say "SAFETY FARKLE"?
 
Sequential turn signals

Thanks for posting the video. While I can see that it's pretty slick, it would seem to me that if you use these at night, you wouldn't be able to see anything in the mirror, due to night vision loss.

Is that even an issue?

I had the same thoughts, and am thinking of putting a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom half , so only the top half blinks in the sequence.....since it would still be one inch high I think I would still notice it.......I have an RSS and the mirror is smaller so this is a consideration........Mike...:thumbup:
 
I took a heat gun and GENTLY heat up the mirror to separate it. I used a paint scraper to separate, re-heating as needed. Once separated, I removed the section of glue (on back of glass)where the LED would sit. Used some 3M double sided tape (as thin as I could get). Put it close enough to just hold the LED in place. The remaining glue you didn't scrape should be enough to re-stick. I used the heat gun on the 3M tape and remaining glue to make real sticky. Stuck back like new. You'll have to drill a small hole to feed the wires to connect to signal wires (I used the first 6 steps of the installation instructions from the MUTH website http://shop.muthco.com/content/pdf/install/Can Am Spyder.pdf )

thanks RTVIPER

That is terrific information on the install...:2thumbs: just a couple of follow up questions if you don't mind answering: 1) Step 7 of the MUTH install asks you to cut a hole in the backing plate, and I'm assuming that you did NOT cut that plate and instead used the 3M double sided tape to attach the turn signal to the back of the glass. True or False? 2) When you wired up the signal, did you use a posi-tap and then tuck it back into the inside of the mirror housing? Thanks again for that link and I can't wait to see the outcome.... very cool farkle! :D

You are correct on both. I did not cut plate or perform any steps after #6. Used posi-taps then tucked into mirror housing. You're gonna love it when finished:ohyea::ohyea:
 
No, night brightness is NOT an issue at all

I put my left side mirror on for this mornings ryde in to work, at 4:30am so it was still plenty dark & when using the turn signal I was still able to perfectly see everything in the mirror while the arrow LEDs were blinking in their sequential order :clap: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOD :clap: Take your time tho, cause I got rushed & ended up breaking our right side mirror glass & are awaiting a donated replacement soon to arrive. Also, be careful of the amount of heat you use, cause even with a hair dryer, its easy to warp the thin plastic that houses the mirror glass. But once done & reinstalled, you'll want to make more turns just to watch them do their dance :yes:

Is the glass available as a separate part from CanAm or only the whole assembly? I was already nervous about this install.
