Missing chrome ring on gauges

[SilverFox1]

Gee!!! A ring is a ring and I want it back right. Some people just don't understand. Look at "Lord of the Ring",,, now they went a long way for the ring. All kidding asside, I think I know how you feel PeacefulBen. It's like when you put the first scratch on a new toy!!! Glad it's resolved though!

We should all learn lessons as we travel this road of life. :lecturef_smilie:
My lesson here was to inspect my Spyder thoroughly everytime it comes back from the dealer. :shocked:
I should have caught that sooner.:banghead:

This whole thread got me to looking closer at mine... both of my gauges are simple black ones; no chrome at all... :shocked:

:agree:After a closer look, RT-S with the chrome Can-Am logos have the chrome rings on them. On the A&C packages they are black.

Ben, I'm glad they got your issue resolved. But like Freebob said, make sure you get it in writting.

Those chrome rings can be found a a T/A truck stop or a chrome shop pretty cheap.They're just held on by a dab of rtv.

Thanks for the info! :thumbup: (I'm slowly trying to turn my A&C into an "S")

"The case of the missing ring"
Mystery has been solved. Met with my dealer this morning. :chat:
When I had the Spyder in for a service, the dealer replaced a faulty fuel gauge (covered under a service bulletin) on my 2010 RT A/C, (which came with the black ring gauges) with a chrome ring gauge. It seems there were no "black" gauges available at that time. :dontknow:

Now he is going to send this info to CanAm and see if they will either let him replace the existing chrome ring gauge with a black one, or replace the black temp gauge with a chrome one. I told him I didn't really care either way, as long as they both match. :clap:

Thanks to all for your input. It is great to know we can share ideas and problems on this site. Thanks, Lamonster!!:thumbup:

Now if they can just find that missing grill on the right side panel.
