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.
Travel cover?

In my opinion- trailering with a cover is not recommended. I do not have a trailer yet(I have an Ultimate open trailer on order), but I worked with industrial fabrics for nearly 35 years. It is the movement of the material against the body panels that will cause problems. I'm planning on washing my Spyder upon reaching my destination and using my cover at night or when not in use.

The general consensus is no such thing exists because of the scuffing of paint that can or will occur when the wind whips the cover against the body.Has anyone found a good cover for the Spyder RT that can be used when you trailer your Spyder on the road?

I have used a Geza cover on both of my Spyders while trailering and on my Triumphs without any damage.

+1 :agree: We use our BRP half cover all of the time for overnights, raining, etc. It's always with us and goes on/off quickly. :thumbup:
THE HALF COVER IS ONLY USED WHEN PARKED - NEVER USED ON THE SPYDER DURING TRAVELING ON THE TRAILER - ALWAYS LEAVE THE SPYDER "UNCOVERED" WHEN TRAILERING......(I hope I understood your question)!

I got the full BRP travel cover with my Spyder purchase and it didn't last with the wind whipping constantly going down the road on my open trailer. got a free replacement and it worked for one season and the next season tore in shreds??? it even says it is good for traveling?? they lie!!!
If anyone finds a serviceable cover that will withstand the wind whipping going down the road let us all know..
I have the half cover for overnight parking, etc. but there is no way that would stay on going down the road on an open trailer...

:gaah::yikes::lecturef_smilie: NEVER COVER SPYDER FOR TRAILERING!nojoke
The flutter of wind will make ANY cover act as sandpaper on the paint:banghead::banghead::banghead::barf:Everywhere it touches so it wont be one small spot either but several scattered all over :shocked::shocked::shocked: If you have to trailer :spyder2: Just follow few basics
1: ONLY on FLAT BED where all 3 tires can be secured:lecturef_smilie
Enclosed or not )
2: Properly secure all 3 tires as instructed by owners manual
(thru rims not drive sprocket)
3: HAVE FACING FORWARD doesn't cause damage to wind shield.
