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.

Have it, think it helps with vibration, would probably buy it again. If vibration through the foot pedals bugs you, this will help. I would not necessarily call it a must have mod, but it is what it is, a relatively simple mod that helps with a relatively small issue with the spyder, belt vibration (due to a really long belt). Mounting on the RT requires a small amount of mechanical ability. Definitely, and I mean DEFINITELY, a lot easier to mount if you jack up the spyder and take off all of the left side tupperware for better access. And I mean all of it except the foot peg assembly itself. Just my 4 cents (inflation adjusted)

I installed mine without taking any panels off ! A bit of a challenge for sure but doable . Well worth the money as it takes 95% of the belt vibration out which I found irritating .

It certainly can be done without jacking up the spyder and without taking off the panels. But if you value your knuckle skin and prefer not to weave a tapestry of profanity, I strongly suggest jacking up and removing panels (removing these things is really simple and takes almost no time, I cannot see a down side to removing the panels first), it makes the job much easier, and in my hands I felt like I had a better idea how everything fit and worked. I am not a hugely experienced wrencher, so I like to really see what I am doing, and by taking off the panels you can see and get at this project much, much easier.

No belt adjustment is needed, keep the belt at the proper tension set by your dealer and follow the directions for installing the tensioner.
