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.

Just installed a set yesterday. Got a set online for $160 and spent another $10 for install hardware. Haven't connected them to the battery yet, as I will be installing a Lamonster Motohorn 2.0 today. I expect "good enough" local-suburban results, but not so much above 60mph. I expect little/no bass. They work with my Madstad shield, can't help with any info on the Blueridge. I also have bluetooth speakers in my helmets. I'll update later this afternoon.
** Can save a bit of $$ now as Slingmods is having a 10% off SpyderExtra accessories. **

OK ... Did some riding yesterday. This set up will be adequate for speeds up to 55-ish mph, and that's fine by me. Wearing a 3/4 style helmet actually helps in hearing the audio by blocking out the wind noise. Full face helmet with shield down blocks too much audio. Anything above 60mph and I will use my helmet speakers. Being 6'3", it is nice to be able to pivot the speakers for my listening level. Plus, the pods blend in nicely, looking more factory than add on. The volume buttons are quite a reach on the F3. I installed a 2nd mount on my left side handlebar to mount my IPod Touch. Between this (2K song library) and my center mount phone placement (IHeart radio), I have easy/convenient reach for volume control. Is it worth it? Only you can decide, based upon your needs. For the $265 msrp, I'd say no. For the current sale price of $240, I'd say maybe. For $160 + $10 in hardware, I'd say certainly. My .02

I have had my JBL speakers for 3 months now and I will say they are lacking in volume and bass. When sitting still they are perfect but when u get 50 mph and above u can't hear jack stuffing. I wish I had the ssv they are sooo much louder and I think I will save and get those in the near future.
