• 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 was a sponsor that sales wire harness for trailer, RT . Can’t find him now? Can someone tell me which sponsor sold this?
 
The problem with Can Am Spyder accessories trailer harness is the module he is using. It is unpowered and does not isolate the trailer from the Spyder. So depending on the trailer and the lights it has. You may get hyper flash of the signal or hazard lights when the trailer is connected. This has been report on a couple of threads. If you get a short circuit in one of the trailer circuits. The lights on the same circuit on the Spyder will fail with an orange screen and failures messages. For a couple dollars more he could have used the correct isolation converter and these potential problems will be avoided. No hyper flash. Any shorts in the trailer and the the trailer lights will fail. But the Spyder lights will not be affected.
 
Good point

I went back and found I ordered from SHOWCHROME (off EBAY). Came with a relay board, and a heavy wire to run up to battery. I can hear the relays clicking when signals are on. I have read MANY forums where using the existing wiring caused failures of the module (due to grounding I think over time).
