• 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.

    I just bought the Can Am Spyder S2S Luggage - sidebags excellent, trunk or top box bag not so much!

    I still have my FJR, but I got my Spyder for the same reason., arthritis in my hips. I've been on many multi state trips on the FJR. Not sure if I'll ever sell it, It was my retirement present to myself in 2008. I also got a set of boot liners for the rain and carry them with my rain gear, but...

    I just bought the Can Am Spyder S2S Luggage - sidebags excellent, trunk or top box bag not so much!

    At the time that I purchased my RTL, I contemplated buying the luggage set from Can Am. I am now happy I didn't. The one for the frunk and the top case I wouldn't be using. When we take off on multiple day trips. I use the frunk for rain gear, extra Warm gear (sweat shirts and the like to...

    Help with Kott Grilles install

    I was a bit hesitant about the screws also., but went with it anyways. I know that they're not going to work themselves loose and they're hidden. As for a gap in the top take a good look, did you slightly bend the grill when you installed it? It's easy to do getting them behind that "wing". if...

    Pedal box installed

    When I installed mine I first set it at Sport + with the 3 green bars. It really surprised me how responsive it was. Brought back memories of riding a Super Sport bike (Honda 929). I found that the City setting (Green) with 3 bars (+ side) or the Sport (Orange) with 1 bar(+side) is more a...

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    I used a GPS plug and play harness from Lamonster. Here is where you can order one: https://lamonstergarage.com/gps-plug-n-play-harness-2020-can-am-spyder-rt/?searchid=0&search_query=GPS+Plug-N-Play+Harness+2020%2B+Can+Am%C2%AE+Spyder+RT It's a very easy and clean install.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    The Pre 2020's models had a different battery (I believe that's when they changed to the cheaper battery). Like I mentioned in my post, the later battery that comes stock has a rating of 300 CCA, but the Spyder wants 350 CCA.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    I am surprised no one has mentioned getting rid of the POS battery that comes stock on the Spyders. You will start experiencing a VSS code at start up, and the bike will be turning over VERY slowly. There were a few times I was wondering if it was even going to start. The factory battery has a...

    I get a Leg pain after riding the RT for more than half an hour - anyone else? Any solutions?

    I am also 6'2". I felt that the leg room was a bit "tight" so I had a custom seat made. You can read my review of it here. I had them add a little to the seat so I sit a touch higher. which gave me the added leg room I needed. I also still love riding my FJR, but the arthritis in my hip prevents...

    Upgrading front shocks; what's the difference between Elka and BajaRon??

    I'm leaning toward purchasing the Bajaron shocks after reading all the replies. I'm actually getting a refund from my taxes this year (first time in many years) and going to use it for some upgrades.

    Prepping for the ultimate riding season - have I missed anything?

    I can understand the time limitations. There are too many roads to check out. The Ave of Giants and the stretch from Legget to Fort Brag is an excellent choice. I was up there last Sept. Also another great web sight to check out for California motorcycle roads is Pashnit.com.

    Prepping for the ultimate riding season - have I missed anything?

    For some good roads to check out in Northern Ca. There's Hwy 299 Between Redding and Arcata. Then Hwy 36 (which is one of my favorites) Between Fortuna and Red Bluff. Also, there is Hwy 199 that starts just above Crescent City and goes to Grants Pass Ore. This one takes you through one of the...

    Upgrading front shocks; what's the difference between Elka and BajaRon??

    I am thinking about upgrading the front shocks on my '22 RTL. Lamonster sells the Elka shocks for $950, while Baja Ron shocks are listed at $1,200 a set. What I am wondering is, what is the difference between the two (besides the $250 price difference).

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    Back in my (much) younger days, I used to get together with a bunch of other guys and play D&D. My favorite character I used was a Mage, Krommicus. This was back before computers and the internet. When I got my first computer and needed a "user name" I used and shortened my D&D characters name...

    It pays to buy quality gear

    I learned this lesson a long time ago. Cheap gear wears out fast and then you have to buy it again, so not so cheap. Over 40 years ago was tired of my hands getting cold and wet in the winter, so I got me a very nice pair of winter gloves (gauntlet Leather). I think I paid about $30 for them...

    Anyone have a pic of an RT S2S backrest retaining clip fitted in position on the underside of the seat?

    When I still had my stock seat, I found it was a real pain to put that clip on. Then I went to Corbin in Hollister and had a custom seat made. Since they use their own custom seat pan and it's all one piece, you cannot "lift" the front part and put the clip in place. I just slide my backrest in...

    Can Am Spyders Resale value isn't great...

    I agree about finding the best possible price when looking for a new ride. But like I said "resale" doesn't play into my decision. I've been riding for over 50 years (ya, and it has gone by quick). I tend to hold onto my bikes. I still have one I purchased in the early '80's . A 1976 KZ 900...
