• 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.

    Dealerships

    How can I find a directory of Can Am Spyder dealerships in California?? As suggested, having a card with all California dealers makes a lot of sense when on a trip.....Thanks you.

    My Trip

    I've made all the mods on my Spyder that are necessary---and I'm ready for my trip from Southern California to Northern California, about 1,600 miles; however I have some concerns that my SE5 Spyder will hold up. I'll be traveling Freeways, mountains, back roads, and temperatures that vary...

    Why I run a "Clean" board

    Me Too I have such respect for you, Lamont----the vulgarity in our society and the sexuallizing of so much in our world makes me sick----if it went this far in the last 25 years, where will it be 50 years from now-----Stay with your position in this life, because small victories count up.

    Clattering/Hammering Noise

    I took the Spyder out today, and the same noise is there that started on the first mile I rode it. The engine, I believe, has a generalized loud sound, but now with a thousand miles on it, there is a contiuned slight "clattering or hammering noise" that even if it doesn't hurt the engine, I...

    Cable Hand Brake Went South, me North

    The good guys and advisors on this Forum gave me concerns about hooking up a bicycle cable---went three blocks from home, and the hand brake sysem did not release, causing the Spyder to stagger to a stop----put my toe under the foot brake, lifting it up---with that I was on my way. So----no...

    Question about Corbin Seat

    Fairly Easy If I can do it, anyone can-----and the seat is great---a way to sit in rather than on. The directions lead you through it. However, I found that the new seat latch-stim did not meet up with the latch hole-----I had to alter the stim by moving it about 3/4 of an inch. You'll like...

    Hand Brake The Simple Way

    On My First 5 Miles Well, you ole boys were right----before I got around the corner, the hand brake stuck, and I had to lift the foot brake with my toe----stopped at a station and took the hand brake loose, and went on with our ride----I'm going to wait until I can buy a "hand brake package"...

    Hand Brake The Simple Way

    Thanks, Scotty I will seek out a larger and more stable cable-----won't take much to replace this bike cable. Not that you can tell, but I was an English major---too long ago to help me now. I can still recognize a verb and noun......

    Hand Brake The Simple Way

    Thanks I'll use this brake when pushing the Spyder around----won't depend on it for quick/hard stops---I like the peddle brake, but needed the hand brake for "fine moves." I did purchase a motorcycle lever on EBay, but none of the motorcycle dealers had cables long enough...all their cables...

    Hand Brake The Simple Way

    Had to have a hand brake, but could never be as techincal as Lamonster, whom I think is a craftsman of the highest order. So I studied it for a long time----The braking function is not one that takes a great amount of pull because it activates easily. So I went to Performance Bikes----got a...

    Hand Brake Through Copper Tube I went to the local Bicycle Shoppe----got an excellent hand lever and a 60" cable----stopped and got 60" of small, copper tube-----I'm going to direct the cable and tube through the right side of the Spyder with clamps holding down the copper tube----coming up...

    What a Ride

    This is the first day , with 700 mile logged, that I felt excellent and completely in tune with my Spyder, "Black Widow," and what a day in SoCal. My friend, Joanne with her silver clutch Spyder, and I with the red and black SE5 put on over 100 miles---out to Cook's Corner where hundreds of...

    BRP Hand Brake?

    Want A Hand Brake I like Lamonster's hand brake system, and want one----I wonder when you activate the foot brake, does it slack the cable and cause a problem? How do you keep the hand brake lever from going limp or slack. I bought the lever---I need a cable and the parts at the lower bracket...

    Mirror Extensions

    Upside-down What if the mirrors were exchanged side for side----put the left on the right, and the right on the left-----this would lower the morrors and maybe give a better view and better look on the Spyder????
