• 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.

Is there an intended use for the 2 tray areas under the seat ?
What are these 2 clips for ?
Sorry, pic is upside down.

12tree, those clips are actually helmet clips! :shocked: Yeah, I know, go figure.... :dontknow:

But there are a few posts & a coupla threads here showing how you can fairly easily make an extension clip that won't rip the tupperware &/or paintwork so you can use them to hold your helmet/s. :thumbup:

As for the 'trays', the little depression under the pillion seat RH side rear mates with the cut-out in the seat pan & is intended to fit the OE tool roll, which is meant to strap (with a velcro strap) up into the seat pan cut-out. The LHS rear flat area covers what was the battery niche on the 2012 & earlier Spyders, mating up with the box shaped impression in the top front inboard corner of the LH Pannier that still exists. Altho since the 2013 RT & on, that space has only housed a couple of relays & connectors that can easily be moved out of the way if you want to drop a little case into that space & convert the top placcy cover into a flap/lid, like some of us have done! :ohyea:

The flat areas underneath the riders seat seem to be pretty important to moving airflow thru & then out of the engine compartment, so fill them with 'heat sensitive' &/or enough material to block that airflow at your peril. Do you really need to ask me how I discovered that??! :opps: :p
 
I made a couple of loops (see the picture) to give some extension for the helmet D-ring when I really feel a need to lock them up and have no available storage compartment space.
