• 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.

    Belt Tensioner

    I bought the SE15. I was looking at some of the automotive idler pulleys, thought they might be a good fit because they're made for long-term high revolution use. The prices are very reasonable too. Just have to decide how I want to fab my frame clamp. freddy's design looks straight forward...

    Belt Tensioner

    Freddy, the brackets you fabricated to clamp around the frame appear to be very thick. Did you determine the thickness was necessary, or was it a matter of what was available at the time? I just bought a rosta tensioner from ebay, will be looking for other materials to fab my own tensioner...

    Spyder Sightings

    Just after I made the statement that spyders are rarely seen in my area, I see two more near Somerset, PA. I guess I better start paying closer attention.

    Belt Tensioner

    Freddy and Warlock, both of you have very interesting designs. Freddy, do you have an idea of approximate cost for your design? I like the straight forwardness of it and that it doesn't require any frame mods.

    Belt Tensioner

    Does anyone have a belt tensioner installed on an RS model? I'm researching the idea of installing a tensioner on my 2014 RS and I haven't found much. Would like to hear about or see some ideas from those that have been successful. Thanks for any and all advice provided.

    Belt Tension Adjustment

    Is the belt tensioner only designed for the RT? If so, does that mean an RS doesn't 't need or won't see any improvement from a belt tensioner?

    Spyder Sightings

    Spyders are a rare breed around my area, but the other day the wife and I were at the Walmart, in Morgantown, WV where I spotted a maroon RT parked outside. That spotting is not only the first of the season, but if memory services me (and it doesn't always) maybe the first period.

    Sport Rack and Givi Monokey Plate

    Spacertiger, thanks for the directions, worked great and was able to see the pictures. I like how the finished top box looks on the back of your spyder, just got to decide if I want to cut a hole in my sport rack.

    Sport Rack and Givi Monokey Plate

    Looks good, I'm going to give it a try. About clearing the seat, wouldn't it have made more sense if can am had hinged the seat on the right side instead of at the back? A side hinge would let it open all the way allowing more access? Probably something I'm missing, but I've seen a lot of...

    Culpjp, I like your idea, seems the simplest, and yet functional. Thanks for posting.

    Briuse01 - do you have pictures of what you did to the mount to get it to fit the sport rack lid?

    Sport Rack and Givi Monokey Plate

    Bfromia - thanks for the link. I wonder if cutting out the webbing of the givi mount will leave enough support/strength for the long term. The person warlock sold his spyder to (if thy're a member here) may have something to add about that.

    Sport Rack and Givi Monokey Plate

    Hey spacertiger, the pictures didn't show up in your link. When you cut the hump off the rack, was there much of a hole to fill? And did you have to seal around the plate to keep water from getting into the hole? Wyliec, I don't have the backrest, so I'm going to use the top box as storage and...

    Sport Rack and Givi Monokey Plate

    I started this thread in the WTB Section and thought it would be better to move it over to here. Started out looking for a sport rack for my RS, found one on ebay, and finally got it mounted today. My plan was and still is to mount a Givi top box to the rack. After mounting the rack, I did a...
