• 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.

Who has the best foot Floorboards?

I like both of those, especially the second set pictured. However to me it looks like they are sitting too low to properly get to the brake and or the shifter. Correct me if I am wrong.

Sweet can hardley wait for them to come to the market. Buy for sure. Black Anodized would be nice.:2thumbs::clap::2excited:

No the ISC actually had an excellent position when it comes to the brake pedal. I was quite impressed when I sat on their Spyder. As for the shifter yes the SM5 would probably be best with a shifter extension, which I believe the ISC guys were working on as well.

tat,

What do you have against ants? Just kiddin'...I think each manufacturer is going to have a different looking Spyder...that's something we're going to have to deal with unless we buy all mods from one company...a daddy longlegs is a spider as is a black widow...they definitely look different...the Spyder can be as unique as each spider....

When I look twice now, yeah it kinda does. I'll tell you though after actually seeing the floorboards that thought never occurred to me. I'll still be ordering a set. :2thumbs:
 
I just received the rear passenger foot pegs extensions from techguru today and will be putting them on tomorrow. They look terrific. I also ordered the ISC Brake Extension today and they told me it would be shipped out this afternoon. I also have a set of 4" NMM risers that are supposed to be shipped today also. With the foot pegs extensions, I also had him ship the exhaust lowering bracket since I miss my Harley sounds and intend to replace the stock muffler at a later date.
 
I lobbed an email into ISCI asking whether they have pics or a description of what they are thinking for the SM5 shifter. I'll post the response if I get one.

In the meantime...permit my mind to wonder.

In stock form, up on the shifter peg results in a counter-clockwise movement (as you look ifrom the left side of the Spyder) of - what I'll call - the shifter shaft - the splined shaft the shifter arm-peg is clamped to. Likewise, down on the shifter peg results in a clockwise motion of the shifter shaft. And, in stock form, the shifter peg - and driver foot - is rearward of the shaft.

So, seems to me you need the up-down motion of any "forward" controls - where the shift "peg" and foot is in fornt of the shifter shaft - to maintain the counter-clockwise/clockwise respectively movement of the shifter shaft.

It looks like Dennis Smith addresses this by adding a shift arm extension towards the front and in front of the shifter shaft. Simple and maybe elegantly simple as long as you can create enough rotational force on the shaft by simply moving the forward shifter up and down.

Thoughts?

I got a resonse from Bill Jones of ISCI - took a while and it did not have any of the specifics I asked about re: SM5 shifter.
Here's the response - all will be revealed soon.

Pete,
I wanted to respond to your e-mail about the Spyder parts. We should have our pricing in place by the end of next week and should be able to start taking orders by the end of this month. We were manufacturing prototypes to gauge interest, and we have seen a good response so far. I will e-mail you back when we are ready to go live and mass produce these. Meanwhile, keep checking our website for the addition of a Spyder products page, which should be ready in a week or so. Thank you for your interest.

I just sent the following e-mail to ISCI

I understand that you have floorboards for sale to fit the Can Am Spyder. Back in June 2008, you reportedly told someone in an e-mail to "keep checking our website for the addition of a Spyder products page, which should be ready in a week or so."

It is now May 2009 and there is still no link to products. Please advise
