• 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.

Spyder Cover choices?

two covers

What is the best cover to get for the Spyder? Full cover choices.
Looking for your experience that works best and easy to travel with?
Thx!
i was lucky my dealer gave me a factory full cover with my bike i bought the brp half cover and very pleased with both yes full cover very bulky factory half cover fits as it should is very easy on and off
 
Many travel with the half cover. Nelson Riggs has good covers and I see many use the goldwing cover which will cover all but the front wheels. There may be others out there.:thumbup:

I got the BRP full cover for my first bike and as noted elsewhere it's pricey but fits like a glove. It stays in place and protects the bike when it's being towed at highway speeds even.

When I bought another (used in this case) RTL, it came with a lightweight full cover (after-market). I don't find it useful at all because it won't stay in place when the bike is being towed and since my bikes are garaged and I'm not going to carry a full cover on trips, it serves no useful purpose.

For my first bike I needed a half-cover for trips and bought a black one (I think it's a Hopnel) which is okay, but in the bright sun of the southwest black isn't the best color choice.

For the second bike I bought a Covermax cover from Amazon. It has an outer surface that is metallic-like and fits really well. I like it so much I just ordered another for the first bike. http://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-dreamliner-787-test-flight-america-2017-8

Travel Cover?

I have an 2013 RT SE5 and wanted to trailer it from Florida to Missouri. Wanted to cover it to protect it from highway debris, weather, etc. Went to a dealer and purchased a Can-Am "travel cover" (filthy expensive!) as the cover I used daily was a less expensive cover and I knew it would not stand up to highway speeds. of 60+mph on the trailer. I made sure to correctly install the cover before taking off checked it regularly to make sure the straps were secure and it was still pulled down securely over the bike. The first day, it snapped off my antennae -- while I was not happy with that, I had already ordered a shorter replacement so I didn't sweat that too much. By half way through the second day, the center seam had ripped down the middle and was flapping down the middle. Now I see that there is a "trailering cover" for the F3 vs a "travel cover" and am wondering if the dealer sold me something not intended for the way I intended to use it? They knew what I was planning, they sold me the trailer! Anyone have any feedback before I go back in there blazing and demanding my $115 back?
:shocked:
