• 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.

    Any New Info On Steering Issue ?

    After we got back from a run in the N.Georgia mountains, my wife commented to me about her 2008 Spyder suddenly wanting to cut sharply to the left - we were on a straight 4 lane highway. She never reads any of the forum stuff and had absolutely no idea that this had been brought up by other...

    Quick Question

    I have the 2010 RT with the audio convenience package. I recently ordered the BRP Zumo GPS and BRP XM kit. Do I have to get the Entertainment Harness Kit (219400201) separately or is it already there since I have the audio convenience package ? Sorry if this is a repeat question.

    Cursed .......When does This BS Stop ??????

    Yep ... Checked the Battery Yes .... checked the battery connections - tight. I'm hoping that with the code resets and recall fixes that my confidence level will increase. In any case, although I normally don't do this, I opted for the additional 3 year warranty. I figured if they can't fix...

    Rear View Camera

    Mirror Extensions I have to vote for the mirror extensions ..... low tech - one less thing to go wrong, doesn't clutter up the Spyder and really could cause more problems than it fixed. I've got mirror extensions and they work PERFECTLY ..... no wires, viewing screens and other unnecessary hooey.
