• 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.

Is there a 9 pin to 4 pin trailer plug adapter available?

I have a 2010 622 trailer with a 9 pin plug. I also have a 2014 RTS with the 9 pin plug. I have a 2022 RTL and would like to use the trailer with both bikes, is there an adapter from 9 pin to 4 pin that I could swap out when changing bikes?
TIA

I assume your trailer has the USA lighting configuration in which case your 9-pin cable has four wires: Ground, Tail, Left Brake/Turn and Right Brake/Turn.

Cut the 9-pin cable an appropriate distance (use 2022 as guide) from the Spyder-side connector and strip both ends. Match wire colors with function. Match function to 4-pin towing connector colors. Splice wires accordingly. I recommend adhesive heat shrink for a proper weather seal. Easy peasy.:D

PS my previous message assumed you wanted to keep your existing 9-pin cable for selling the trailer in the future. Probably an unlikely circumstance.
