• 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.

Color change by replacing all panels.... cost!

This is what I did today when I was bored and couldn't ride. Looked up all the painted panels to see what it would cost to change the color of my spyder to something different. I'm not going to do this but was curious about the cost,... it's a lot!! Total for all the painted panels for a 2013 RTS is $5314.76
 
Plastic Body Panels

It used to be that we all thought of plastic as a cheap replacement for steel panels on our vehicles. Not anymore!! Entire front and rear molded plastic fascias of automobiles have been around for a number of years now and replacement is very expensive. Also crotch rockets and Gold Wings are covered in plastic bodywork and all of this is expensive to replace so it's really no surprise that a Can Am Spyder (particularly the RT models) would be very costly to re-skin. It's a lot cheaper to get one repainted in another color than to re-skin it.
