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.
What did you do to your Spyder today?

Removed the slingmods foam grips because they're not only too thick, but they also don't allow much heat penetration through them; and installing ones I got from Pierre at canamspyderaccessories. They're half the thickness and Pierre addresses in his video, the heat issue most thicker foam grips have.
UPDATE: The grips definitely are better for my hands. They also do allow much more heat than the other ones I had. There's some heat loss but I can still use the low setting and feel the heat. With the thicker grips, low was barely noticeable. Had to use high to keep my hands warm.

Spent Sunday morning working on minor improvements. Installed battery maintainer lead through its own grommet hole in the frunk in preparation for winter. Then focused on a new fast charge usb port next to the ignition and the garage door button on the opposite side. Of course had to do a test ride ;-)

Had my 2022 Sea to Sky coated with Revivify Advanced Nano Coating - https://revivifycoatings.com/ It's Satin Finish safe and self healing. They used it almost everywhere including the windshield and wheels. The only place they didn't use it was on the super scratchy piano black parts. Those parts came with very small scratches from the dealership and the detailers could not polish them out. I will be covering those with special stuff I bought from Peter at Wrap My Spyder.
For the two side panels above the foot rests, the shop added some Satin Finish Wrap to add protection from boot marks when getting on & off the bike. My detailer also ordered some custom cut Satin Wrap for the Frunk cover and each of the front side panels with the vents to add protection against chips. You can't polish-out satin paint. Repairing chips and scratches requires the whole panel to be repainted.
So far I'm really happy with their work. It wasn't cheap, but considering how much these machines cost, especially here in Canada, it was well worth the extra expense.

After a new friend Partzman23 came over and showed me a few things. Realized that I have a Baja Ron swaybar and a CAT delete. Turns out that my purchase keeps on getting better and better.
Aside from that, I installed the TricLED driving lights. Like them so much, I will be grabbing the rear facing brake light / turn signal ones. Look great.
The glare sucks .. but you get the idea.

Took it for a drive on Skyline Drive, enjoying the warm weather and fall colors.
Oh we also got to talk to a Va. State trooper on the way home. He was a nice guy and let me off with a warning for acting not so smart.

Nothing! My Spyder is on a battery maintainer until April 2023.
I agree with you.
Yesterday I bought a VT TMA for the sled season. I do hope we get a sled season, the future weather forecast doesn't look good. The sled is on a battery maintainer.

This morning I installed some black panel protection from "Wrap My Spyder". I used their Textured Carbon Fibre application. Peter's excellent installation videos really helped a lot. Some areas are a little tricky and I also had to trim a pattern in the Switch Panel kit for the Sea to Sky badge.
I think it turned-out pretty good. No more scratchy black panels.
Next will be Fobo 2 for trikes.
