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.

You can use any kind of trailer as long as it's not too heavy. The BRP hitch ball is 1 7//8 inch. if the electrical connector is different from BRP's (4-wire square) you'll need to find or make an adaptor. That's what I've done.

I don't know how the SC harness connects, but the BRP Y harness does the same thing. There is a wire coming to the bike side of the rear wiring connector that has a lead directly from the fuse box. That pin is used to provide power to the trailer lights.
You can get an idea of what you can do from my installation. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...-other-lights-Part-1&highlight=trailer+wiring

You can't 100% bypass the electronics. You have to connect a trailer wiring isolator to the bike light circuits. Those draw very little current. What you don't want to do, as has been said, is connect the trailer lights directly to the bike light circuit. See the link to my installation in the message above.

Bushtec makes nice little trailers. So do Aluma and Mini Trailers USA. Any motorcycle trailer will work as long as:
Tongue weight <= 40 lbs.
Total loaded weight <= 400 lbs.
Big Bike Parts makes a 5-pin harness adapter (turn signals and brakes on separate circuits) but it comes without a connector. You can buy a connector at any auto-parts store.
BRP's adapter has a 4-pin adapter and comes with a square connector. You can buy adapters to go to a flat connector, and you can buy 4-pin to 5-pin adapters if your trailer needs 5-pins.

Trailer:
I did use the BRP harness but bought my trailer from Harbor Freight. I spent $385 for the trailer and it works and looks fine. It took a friend and I about 2 hours to put the trailer together. I did have the dealer install the hitch and harness.
