• 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.

    Outdoor cover recommendations

    The S cover from Industries 7 looks soooooo tight ... both on the Director's post hereon and on the Spyder shown on their website. Looks like it applies excessive (inward) pressure on the front edge of the front fenders. So tight that it might mar the finish (more of a question than a...

    Moisture Behind Instrument Glass

    Cleaned up my Spyder this past weekend. Very, very gentle with the hose and I intentionally tried to avoid any spraying of water (direct or otherwise) in the vicinity of the instrument cluster. But when I took it for a ride afterward, I could see water droplets clinging to the inside of the...

    Low 5 For Corbin

    I truly like the look of Corbin's products. And except for the amateurish finish on their bracketry, I think their quality is top notch. But their commitment to delivering when they say they will is virtually non-existent ... at least in my case. When pushed (via phone calls or emails), they'll...

    BRP's Speaks Out On Some Common Spyder Problems

    Thanks, Scotty. I actually feel considerably better about my "ride" after reading your response. I'll see if I can find any other Spyder owners in my area (I don't think there are many, if any). Ken

    BRP's Speaks Out On Some Common Spyder Problems

    Had my 1,000 km service appointment yesterday at my Spyder dealer. Three of the problems I was having are shared with many of you so I figured I'd pass along the BRP responses. My mechanic discussed each of these problems with the BRP tech rep (or whatever they're called) and BRP's responses...

    Squeaks Up Front

    Less than 600 miles on my Spyder and the squeaking from the front end gets worse by the day. Every time there's a change in bike attitude, the front end (suspension I suspect) eeks out a handful of annoying high-pitched squeaks. Even sitting still, all you have to do is rock it back and forth...

    KewlMetal Mirror Extensions

    Yea, thanks. I was seriously considering something similar. I wonder if I could run a bead of black or transparent silicone such that when it dries, I could then tuck the little tab behind it (like it was in the original configuration prior to the extension installation. Alternately, I was...

    CalSci Windshield Not Compatible with Can-Am Riser Block

    I agree with you Scotty as regards the affect of the Can-Am riser block. It does bring the bars up and back (1/2") and I made a point of that during my discussions with Mark Lawrence. It's still a quandry to me. Flies in the face of simple logic. Well ... I guess it's not all that "simple"...

    F1 Slide Windshield

    How closely did the bottom portion of the windshield mirror the contour of the Spyder's convex mounting surface? Did the windshield fit flush against the Spyder or did you have to force it to conform by torquing on the bolts? I'm asking because the most recent aftermarket windshield I bought...

    CalSci Windshield Not Compatible with Can-Am Riser Block

    The Can-Am Spyder (factory accessory) 1" riser block (which is actually a half inch upward and a half inch aft repositioning of the handlebars) is incompatible with the (marvelous) CalSci windshields. Your clutch lever (in the extended position) will contact the left edge of the windshield a...

    KewlMetal Mirror Extensions

    Installed my KewlMetal mirror extensions last night. It was a relative snap. You do, however, have to really torque down on the screw to prevent unwanted mirror movement from wind force, vibration, etc. (tighten it until it smokes then back off 1/4 turn). There is some mirror vibration which is...

    Corbin Saddlebags?

    Corbin now offers a free DVD which walks you through the installation of all their Spyder "offerings". The mechanic takes you through every step, both verbally and visually. Don't know if this DVD is packaged with each purchased item but it certainly should be. It didn't accompany my fairing...

    Direct Line Parts

    Why is Direct Line Parts listed on spyderlovers.com as a Spyder Vendor? When I click on their logo, the website to which I'm taken (directlineparts.com) shows absolutely no indication of any Spyder parts no matter where on that website I go (click).
