• 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 Mounting bracket and switched power tips for mounting a Garmin Zumo XT2 GPS?

    Thanks, Bill The tether saved the GPS on my Hexhead R1200GSA a couple of times, so it has become mandatory add-on. Safe Travels! DOR55

    Any Mounting bracket and switched power tips for mounting a Garmin Zumo XT2 GPS?

    P29857, An adhesive pad disc with a loop for a tether. It's a bit of a Rube Goldberg setup with the tether fabbed from a boot lace with end loops clamped and heat shrunk, a large key ring loop on the GPS, and a metal clip from who-knows-what on the end of the tether to clip onto the key ring...

    Any Mounting bracket and switched power tips for mounting a Garmin Zumo XT2 GPS?

    Mikey, The cover is an Alaska Leather Sheepskin. I have used them for many years on multiple bikes. Excellent products that are worth the price. It's part of a "Frankenstein" cover/cushion that consists of the sheepskin, a large AirHawk pad, and foam layers that add 3-5" of height to the seat...

    Can you show us how you installed the power cables for your heated gear?

    I am a big fan of Warm & Safe. Great gear, great customer support, and they offer AMA and ADV Rider Forum discounts. On my 2023 RTL, I ran their 5' fused power cord from the battery along the left side top frame tube, exiting beneath the black center cover in front of the seat. This allows me to...

    Lamonster LG-1086 Mount, Sling Mods Switched Accessory Power Harness, 2" Ram Mount Extension. Ram mount extension moves GPS into my line of site, directly beneath the instrument panel so I don't have to move my head to see the GPS. Don't forget a safety tether for the unit...

    What Portable power stations do you use? Here's Mine!

    Look at the AntiGravity Batteries MicroStart stuff. Most have a 15V/10A ouput plug. Been using a MicroStart Sport for years. Don't forget a Quick Connect harness. Makes jumping a breeze. I have the QC harness routed into the frunk behind the zippered lining on my RTL. Can also be routed...

    Is there a switch to use in the 2020+ blank spot to use as a Home Link switch for opening Garage doors?

    FYI - DoorMate 2 is now available from Sling Mods. (I noticed they are not currently on Lamonster's site.) Just ordered one for mounting on my Lamonster top cuff. The DoorMate frees up that blank rocker switch for other duty. Doormate 2 Garage Door Opener for the Can-Am Spyder...

    Anyone installed SlingMods Low Profile Passenger Backrest Pad? Is it Good quality, and does the vinyl match the OEM covering?

    Follow Up - This is one of the best updates I have installed. Allows the use of a 60 litre Moose Racing dry bag for longer trips. (FYI - The companion 40 and 25 litre Moose bags are perfect for when you don't need as much additional dry storage.) Am quite impressed with the quality and price...

    Ikon Front Shocks - Who Uses 'Em & What Do You Think?

    Peter, Sounds like we may have similar riding styles (as my riding buddy Mike describes it - "Rather Spirited"), and somewhat close riding weights. I am leaning towards Ikon and am curious regarding how you have yours setup; - What springs did you choose? - What is your normal rebound...

    Our 6x12 enclosed trailer set up for our Can Am Spyder S2S

    Nice looking set up @Snoking1127. A few questions: What trailer make and model? I notice extra ramps in the trailer, are there Spyder clearance issues with the bifold ramp? What are your hitch/receiver components? (I have the same truck.) Thanks!
