• 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.

    Agree with the Bounce dryer sheet method. It's worked well for us over the years. The orange box variety seems to work best.

    Headlight Replacement - First DIY

    I bought my LED headlight kits for both my 2015 RT-S and my wife's 2012 RTL (since replaced by a 2021 Sea to Sky) from Pierre and canamspyderaccessories.com while he was having a very good sale. The best part of his lights (at the time) was that everything fit inside the stock cover. The...

    Dual Horn Installation - 2021 Sea to Sky

    They're advertised as being 118 db. I can't prove it but they're much louder than the toy horn that comes stock.

    Dual Horn Installation - 2021 Sea to Sky

    Pete, I can't swear to the necessity of removing the battery. I was repeating what the Sling Mods video stated. On the '21 Sea to Sky the L bracket bolt head is on the upper side of the bracket and no matter what I tried I could not get a socket on the bolt head. The other apparent...

    Random thought for the day

    Now I remember why we miss living in Rapid City. We miss the Deadwood sidewalk philosophy. Although not from Deadwood, here's another worthy quotation, "Remember, no matter where you go, there you are." Attributed to Pig Killer from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. My all time favorite, also...

    Dual Horn Installation - 2021 Sea to Sky

    I thought about pictures but I had so little room beneath the Spyder that my phone wouldn't focus clearly. Anyway, there was so much blue language it fogged the lens! This is one of those "take it on faith" installations. Alternatively, the Sling Mods video is pretty good and shows the...

    Dual Horn Installation - 2021 Sea to Sky

    Yesterday I spent several hours, excluding breaks, installing Spyder Extras dual horns, sold by Sling Mods, on my charming wife's 2021 Sea to Sky. To arm myself with all the information available I read the Spyder Extra instructions several times and then watched the Sling Mods installation...

    Can Am Spyder RT Width

    Agree with Tango - both of ours are 5 feet 2 inches wide (2015 and 2021 RTLs).

    Space Force uniforms

    At least the Zouave uniforms had some color and style, even though rather garish. Maybe what we're seeing without realizing it is the Space Zouaves?

    Space Force uniforms

    Saw a photo of a male and female Space Force member standing on either side of a male wearing a traditional USAF uniform. He looked well dressed, while the two Space Force members looked as if they had found their trousers at a thrift shop. They were baggy and poked out in the front (for no...

    Spyder Travelers, what do you do for overnight stays?

    Generally we prefer motels and usually they're ones belonging to the Choice Hotels system - Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Rodeway Inn. We haven't had trouble getting reservations and we haven't had problems with the cleanliness of rooms. Perhaps we've simply been lucky.

    Trailer connection - any adaptors Can-Am to std 4-wire?

    Lamonster Garage sells a "Trailer Harness Adaptor" for $22.95 (SKU is LA4006). That cable should do the trick.

    highway pegs for a RT ??

    I installed Lamonster's NBV highway pegs on my 2015 RT-S and am pleased with them. In combination a driver's backrest they allow me enough movement to make 350 mile trips a virtually painless event. BTW, I'm 76, stand 5" 11", weigh 190 and come equipped with an artificial left hip.

    Finally got one!! 2021 Can-am Spyder RT Sea to Sky!

    My wife also recently (five months ago) traded her 2012 RTL twin for her new 2021 RTS Sea to Sky and she absolutely loves it. She even lets me ride it now and then so I can compare it with my 2015 RTS. It's very nice indeed and we love the soft green color.

    About to purchase, need advice

    Spyders are just like any other complex mechanical/electronic device - automobile, motorcycle, etc. Regardless of the price, quality and durability there are likely to be problems. Compared to some motorcycles, Spyders are well built and reliable. Our local dealers (there are three in the...

    coming from ryker to RT

    This is my opinion only. To make a comparison between Ryker and Spyder RT, I'll use a car comparison. We have a Fiat 500 Abarth and an Audi Q5. The Abarth is great for twisty roads at speed, but it is not an especially quiet, comfortable or roomy vehicle. It does what it was designed for...

    Anyone know where this picture was taken?

    Correct to those who said the Kineo (Rockwood) dock in Rockwood, ME. The view is looking toward Mount Kineo a short distance across the lake. The dock is about 3/4 of a mile from our summer home just south in Barrow's Cove. Rockwood is usually a wonderfully quiet place except this summer the...

    HELP S2S Won’t shift into reverse

    It's a Sea to Sky so I would assume it should be under warranty. The solution rightfully is the dealer's.

    Test ride reflection: STS SM5 rider on an '18 RTL SE6

    That's exactly how I've felt regarding a number of cars and motorcycles over the years. I understand and accept it for what it is, and I like it. That's all that's necessary in my humble opinion.
