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 had one like this on my 2024 Spyder RT S2S with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS before CAN-AM got Apple CarPlay to work.
It is wired into the accessory power port to provide power for any GPS.

On my '22 RTL, I mounted it between the handlebars. I used the Lamonster F3 and 2020+ GPS Mount. I had to change the small mount bracket on the Lamonster Mount to the bracket included in the XT2 to allow for power connection to the back of the XT2. I dropped the power line to the accessory connection on the right as RealWing did. It was an easy install.

Mikey,
The cover is an Alaska Leather Sheepskin. I have used them for many years on multiple bikes. Excellent products that are worth the price. It's part of a "Frankenstein" cover/cushion that consists of the sheepskin, a large AirHawk pad, and foam layers that add 3-5" of height to the seat (Thickness varies based on number of foam layers and AirHawk inflation). I am 6'-5" with 36" inseam, and this configuration combined with Lamonster bar risers and a windscreen air diverter makes the RTL all day comfortable.
The sheepskin by itself does help with comfort and temp control. On all of my bikes (sport, sport touring, ADV, naked standard), the Sheepskin/AirHawk combo has added hours to my daily ride times, provided adjustability, and at a cost way less than an aftermarket seat.

P29857,
An adhesive pad disc with a loop for a tether. It's a bit of a Rube Goldberg setup with the tether fabbed from a boot lace with end loops clamped and heat shrunk, a large key ring loop on the GPS, and a metal clip from who-knows-what on the end of the tether to clip onto the key ring loop.
The pink tether is a visual reminder to make sure I use it. A buddy made the base unit and I added the key ring and metal clip for durability and ease of use.
Here's a place to start:

Another idea for the tether could be something like this, with one end on the GPS key ring, and metal clip on the other end. Cut the adjustor off with an exacto knife. (Been using these retainers on my glasses for years and have never had one fail. They are available in multiple colors including Hi-Viz.

Thank you for the info, it is very helpful. I have never had a GPS fall off any of my bikes, BMW's, it is always good to be safe.
