Installed the 23" BRP touring windshield and side wind deflectors this evening. The BOSS will take it to work tomorrow and give me the report. I tried it down the road...weird to actually smell the exhaust.? Well see how she likes it and I'll report back.:thumbup:

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.

Are the 23 inch from BRP available yet. Have one on order since Dec. and BRP is still telling me that they are not available. How was it to install. Looks great.

Those of us here in the North would really like to see them offer those wind deflectors separately.

Scotty I believe Marcel from F1 has wind deflectors very similar that you can order separately. He calls them Windshutters and it is $89.95 for the set including hardware. It is the last item on this page http://www.f1windshields.com/Can_Am_Spyderx.htm I can only see this site if I use Internet Explorer. For some reason I can not see it with Safari or Netscape.
The install was straightfoward. The upper screws on the windshield are replaced with plastic screws. The side deflectors have a neat bracket..very intricate bent metal. You will have to dissasemble them to remove them or any body panels they cover. I am going to work on a shortcut for that. I'll keep you posted.:2thumbs:
BTW, first report from the BOSS is that she loved the ride to work!:yes:

:thumbup:Looks good. I'm in the same boat as Scotty as i don't want to buy another windshield just to get the deflecters so as i was looking around i found a set $89.00 from the maker of F1 windshields. Ordered them will post when i get them.

Might want to mod the "wings" - I have a set on my K12LT that rotate 90 degrees, so in hot weather, you can direct air to the rider, and in cold/wet weather, you can block it out. Love 'em - looks like you could do that with the aftermarket set without too much effort.

Well, here she is. I just installed the BRP 25" windshield on my Spyder. I used the original torx bolts that was installed on the old stock shield. I'm a 6 footer with long legs and it seems to work fine for me. Hey, it's no Ultra Classic from Harley but it does the job. Now, I noticed that the further front I sit on my stock seat, I get less buffetting on the helmut. The further back I sit, I do get more wind hitting me. I haven't taken it on turnpike driving as of yet but I plan on doing this shortly. I'll keep everyone posted. Attached are my pic's.
