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.

Seal Floorboards
I got to tell you that my Seals for my RT are terrific, mine are the full boards, I noticed in the previous posts that no one mentioned anything about water, these things actually protect you from water splashing up because they are solid and block out any rain from getting to your legs, after getting caught riding in heavy rain before we could safley stop to dawn rainwear my lower legs were completely dry, the others in the group riding Harley's and Star Stratoliners were not so lucky, they were looking at my dry legs with envy, shoulda bought a Spyder and not a Hog!

That is a nice bonus of a large Floorboard. I can't stop the rain from falling down, but I can stop a great deal of road splash coming up. Nothing like dry feet to help me.........
Ride in comfort,

Got Em!
Brought the spyder up last night for a quick belt adjustment in between services. When I picked it up.. Seal Floor Boards were installed! My darling bride ordered them, and somehow sneaked them to the dealer, and voila. I LOVE them. Now my feet aren't always behind my knees, and I can STRETCH. Left knee was beginning to ache a bit, and I was dreading the cold blast it would get with winter riding. Plus they look cool.

If you are handy, you can make your own. I modeled mine off the seal boards though I used aluminum diamondplate and stainless carriage bolts along with some hard black rubber to help cushion vibration. These are very sturdy and make for a much more comfortable seating position. Here are a few pix:

Great job. those look very nice. Where did get the rubber you use ?

No. Age and medical issues forced John's retirement and selling it was unsuccessful.

Rubber and the stainless carriage bolts came from Amazon. Aluminum diamondplate came from a local sheet metal shop, but could have been bought at Amazon I suppose. Carriage bolts were 1/2 in.-13 X 5 in., Grade 18-8 Stainless Steel. Rubber was: Jeweler's Solid Rubber Bench Block - 4" x 4". I cut it on a small bandsaw and drilled a 1/2" hole for the bolt as well as 4 smaller stainless bolts to mount the diamondplate.

Yes, John had to give it up due to health and was unsuccessful in selling the business. As far as I know no one has picked up any his products, which is unfortunate. He had several pretty neat products.SealFloor boards but i see their out of business.

Unfortunately he posted last summer (June and July) that he was retiring, closing his web site and selling off his remaining inventory. After riding my wife's 2012 RTL equipped with Seal floorboards I convinced myself I'd like a set for my 2015 RT-L but it was too late. Ah well.
