• 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.

    Air Deflectors

    Two thumbs up for the Baker Air Wings. I installed these several years ago and they do provide a great deal of extra air flow for the driver. I also recently installed a vent in the windshield, but haven't experienced warm temperatures to comment. Quite a few people remove their lower wind...

    Plugs and Wires

    Just completed this task a few weeks back. A service manual is very helpful in detailing the removal of panels to do this job. Although it is not really necessary to remove the complete air box, removing the top of the air box and loosening the bottom allowed me more room to remove the front...

    Absolutely nothing to do with Canadian Taxes or the exchange rate between the U.S. & Canadian dollar. The price of a Can Am Spyder and accessories has always been approximately 15% more in Canada than the U.S., and this marketing strategy by BRP will not be changing anytime soon. It has...

    I use the low setting on a heat gun to gradually melt the adhesive and break the bond between the item I wish to remove and the surface it is stuck to. Once the bond begins to weaken I continue to apply heat and gently peel the item away using a plastic spatula, credit card or other non marring...

    Not being familiar with the Corbin Heated seat I assume you want to ensure that the heating elements in the seat shut down when you turn off the engine. I can't imagine that the stock wiring set up for your Corbin would allow the seat to continue drawing power from the battery after you shut...
