• 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.

    After suggestions on Essential Tools to carry?

Inflator, tire pressure gauge, plug kit, insta-flat, 9 in 1 screwdriver, essential wrenches, small vice grips, leatherman, zip ties, fuses, JB weld, duct tape, electrical...

    Any pics or suggestions on which rear rack to use as Givi mount? 2019 F3T

    OK, one other mod to make is running the 12v circuit under the pillion seat up to the port installed on the box, and to the 12vdc power port inside the box. I charge my laptop, phone, and GoPro batteries from that port pretty much constantly when traveling. I will say that Can-Am did a...

    I received the mounting hardware for my Givi top boxes to mount up to my rack. Easy install, had to cut the m6 screws down to length was about the only modification I had to make to the kit. Now I can use any of my old Givi boxes on the Spyder. The Spyder is about ready for some warm dry weather...

    Well I ordered up the Spyder Accessories top rack and ordered the Givi Monokey hardware set. I'll just drill and tap the latches directly to the rack. Here's what it should look like when I get the mounting hardware attached. The only (minor) issues I have with the Spyder accessories rack is...

    I think its the Australians that coined the term 'SMIDSY' (Sorry mate I didn't see you) .

    Thanks for the pics Blacklightning. I like the looks of the Spyder accessories rack. The Lamonster rack definitely has some better tie-down options for soft bags. I have another month to chew on it till I can afford the rack, so Ill post a pic or two when I pull the trigger.

    Thanks Gilda The photo in your album has a pretty good shot of your bag on the bike. Exactly what I wanted to see. Your bag is about the size of my Givi box. Gives me some scale. :2thumbs:
