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.

There is a seller on EBay that offers them every once in a while. I think he actually has a new one now that has the SpYder logo on it as well. Look up funny can-am stickers or something like that.
It took me a while to find the right size one on EBay, and I finally got it from a seller named Digizon I believe. The first one I ordered was 3-D and nearly 2 inches too big in all directions. I think the size you want is 2.75 inches, but definitely needs to be under 3 inches.
I could install the Up and Out extensions with this windscreen without any problems if I wanted to. It is a little bit wider than the BRP Sport Touring, but still hugs the cougar head without any large overlap like the large touring screens have.
Hope that answers everyone's questions.

More New Mods - Lights!
My wife was kind enough to order some new lighting for my Spyder, as a bit of a surprise to me. She contacted ESI and made the purchase from them. I now have the Hyperbright Fender Tip LED lights, and the Day Runner LED light bars in Amber. She also order the Fender Tips Kit for each of our Spyders.
I spent a good portion of the day yesterday installing everything and getting them hooked up right. It was worth the effort, and very cool at the same time. Now the fender tips, day runners, and mud flaps, all act as turn signals, flashing opposite of the normal turn signals.
The visibility is greatly increased, and no one can ever say they did not see my turn signals now.
This is a picture of the Amber Day Runners and Hyperbirghts on my Spyder:
Here is a short video, albeit not the best quality, of all my lights in action:

The latest mod project for my Spyder has been lighting it up a little for better night time visibility, and just to have some more fun as well.

TricFenderz rear view, you will also notice that I now have full fender coverage with the graphics kit:
TricLED white headlight rings off:

Side view:
TricLED amber fog light rings off:

Used an additional set of amber TricFenderz to go along the underside of the body panels:
TricLED red lights in the rear that work as running and brake lights:
TricLED Puck light. These little things are very bright and very cool as well:
Finally, here is a video that shows all of my lighting mods working at some point. The video contains music, so you may want to adjust your speaker levels.

Thanks!
I am running the stock BRP headlights, and the only white light flashing in the video is those headlight rings. I was actually wondering what the rules are on modulation, as with the 4 zone controller I have the ability to make these dim in and out at various speeds. If one of the settings matches modulation it may be good to go. :thumbup:
The opposite flash pattern between the turn signals and everything else comes naturally by the way the ESI Fender Tips Kit is installed.
To be honest, I never thought of placing the Day Runners anywhere other than where they are now. At night they give off a good bit of light, and just accent the turn signals even more. It may not be a bad idea to mount them on the upper arm, as they would look more like normal turn signals then.
Yes, the red LEDs under the seat are tied into the brake circuit, and get brighter when I apply the brakes. This was the first set that Reggy made based on my special request. He is working on some more now, and actually told me he may have found a way to make them even brighter. When he has them ready to go, we will be getting a set to install on my wife's Spyder and then I can run a side by side comparison.
I hope that answered all of your questions. If you have any more just let me know, as I am more than happy to help.

Nobody should ever be able to say they didn't see my Spyder at night.

UFO sighting....strange lights seen zooming at a rapid rate of speed. Does not resemble a car, truck or motorcycle. Approach with extreme caution
:roflblack: I wonder if I could hide a small sticker of him someone on my Spyder? :roflblack:

Thanks! The lighting installs are not that difficult, more time consuming than anything else. Figuring out where you want to run the wires is the biggest challenge, as the Spyder seems to have had enough wires already. :shocked:

More New Lights Installed
I just can't seem to leave well enough alone, and got some more amber LED light strips from TricLED.com to light up the nose cone of my Spyder. The best thing about this install is I was able to run all of the wires together in a way that I can just disconnect the hot and ground from my control box, and these lights will only be attached to the frunk. That way it can be removed without too much hassle due to the wires. I have these hooked into zone 3 on my remote, so they all function as one unit with the steady on, flashing, and pulse, capabilities.
I took some daylight pictures of the finished product, notice the amber light showing up on the ground as well.
