• 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.

    Trailer Wire Adapter

    I think that this is the way to go. Leaves the wiring on the machine stock and you can always make another cable adaptor if you change trailers.

    GPS Choice

    I believe that the 2016+ are back to the 660. The 590 was only for 2015.

    Garmin 590lm Rubber Cover

    The rare time I ride mine without the GPS mounted I have not noticed any tendency for it to move in the wind. I normally only use it when I am parked without a cover or when I am washing the Spyder. Using just the Garmin cover I have seen some moisture on the contacts.

    Garmin 590lm Rubber Cover

    The part # above is for the Zumo 660 used before 2015 and on the 2016. The correct one for the 590 is: 710004254 - GPS Protector Support I also lost mine and ordered the above part #, it is too small to fit on the 590 cradle.

    Spyder RT or F3 for a new, senior, petite, female rider?

    My wife is 4' 11" and can reach the brake fine. I do agree that the adjustable handlebar would be a good idea.

    RT with shorty windscreen?

    My 2015 RT-S SE came with the shorty windshield. It is about 2" narrower on each side and much shorter than the normal stock shield. There is much more air-flow and in a hot environment, which I assume that you are in, it will be much cooler. Here, which is NOT a hot environment I found that the...

    Garmin map update

    GPS units are good tools but you do need to use some common sense with them. i.e. people driving their cars down snow covered mountain roads just because the GPS says they should go that way. I still prefer maps for route planning.

    Which GPS?

    I have the 590 on my Spyder and like it a lot. I also use Garmin's Navigon software on my iPhone. It is a full-fledged GPS program that I believe was originally from a company in Europe before Garmin bought it. It works well but I do not leaving my iPhone on external power as it seems to...

    Satellite Radio

    I live in north-central Alberta and my XM antenna is the stock one mounted in the rear trunk. Short of being right under a rock overhand or in a tree tunnel it works just fine with almost no drop offs.

    CANADA ROUTE TO VALCOURT

    Nice road with a fair amount of curves. Really nice around Nelson with one of the best roads in BC across the ferry east of Nelson and down to Creston. Most of the truck traffic is north on the #1 Highway from Banff and then across to the coast on the Coquihalla Highway.

    Zumo 590

    I am a little confused about your "transmit" comment. How/why/what does a GPS unit transmit?
