• 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.

beware. while working on f3 today I noticed my tag light lenz missing? at first I thought someone might have broken it off but it looks like it might have just fell off. it is held on by one screw and the hole does not look damaged. looks like it could have used some thread lock. new part Is $45.00. :sour: deertarget milton
 
Same problem with the '08 GS's the first yr. out. Siliconed my second one, around the lens and screw, and it's still in place.

i was at a rally in maggie valley aug 15th when i noticed my tag light lens was gone also.looked for replacement but can only find complete tag light assembly. why can't we buy just the replacement lens. and if they are falling off BRP should make replacement lens availible. my spyder is 3 weeks old i shouldn't have to buy a complete assembly for a new bike.
 
Custom Dynamics has a replacement that is $20. It also has a semitransparent lens for the rear reflector to show a wee more light from behind.

thank you Sam. i'm posting link so others may find it. scroll to bottom for F3 lens.http://www.customdynamics.com/can_am_spyder_reflector.htm
here is why they are falling off. the screw hole is just sheetmetal stamped .allowing only 1 thread to engage. there was no locking compound on mine. don't know if thread locker would work on 1 thread. i might take it off and weld a nut behind to give more threads to hold. included is a pic.

You could use a threaded spire nut which would save the needed to weld.

One like this would work fine.
