• 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 NEW luggage rack available for your Spyder!

Here is a sneek peek of our new luggage rack. This rack is super easy to install, just take off the rear plastic tailcone, and slide our rack C-channel up into the end of the frame, then 2 screws secure it. Then the rack bolts to the C-channel with a couple screws and you are done! It has a really strong C-channel that slides up into the end of the Spyder frame backbone, making it super secure and sturdy. This rack also has a passenger backrest which I will post as soon as I get one in my hands. Our rack is totally usable with the passenger backrest in place. It will also have a larger rack plate and you can also run it without the plate for a minimally intrusive installation so that gives you 3 basic size options, in town, weekender, and cross country! There will also be a GIVI trunk mounting plate available.

Okay, I am very interested in this for a Givi Topcase. I know I can use the BPR rack with modifications to the Givi Monokey rack system and the BRP rack is $200.00. Do you have any price ranges for your rack to be used with the Givi Topcase? I want to mount the V46 I think. Thanks for your info in advance.

Matt,
We've been waiting patiently for you to announce this one. Can hardly wait any longer now that we've seen it. When do you think they will actually be available? ...and what are the rack and option prices?

Nah, Brian just kept telling me the rack was $200 so I never checked. $499.00 for just that rack, Ouch.

It's a nice rack and I guess the quick release is part of what drives the cost up,

Scotty,

It will be a few weeks before production racks are available. I am working on the pricing and will have that in a day or so.

I have no excuse but I was just relaying what I heard from someone else, that the rack was around $200 and the backrest was around $400. They must have had the prices switched around.

Lamonster, we were both wrong. I just went to the website under products and the rear sport rack is listed at $399 and the backrest is $249 I would get a discount of 10% discount from my dealer which brings me to $359.10 for the rack. Then I still have to modify the rack of the Givi Topcase to work with it. This is becoming an expensive project. I am anxiously awaiting Kewlmetals price on their rear rack. Or hey Magic Man, if you want to venture out into this department I would love to work with you on this too. LOL
