• 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.

    Considering an ST-LTD perhaps?

    I use a gel seat pad made here in the UK. I'm not sure it's necessary, but as my paralysis prevents me shifting my weight around so the gel allows me to spend several hours in the saddle in one sitting...as it were!

    AM/FM ANTENNA MAST

    The manual recommends a small dab of blue loctite on the bottom thread only.

    Morgan Cars

    Ash not Oak. Just like a WWI aeroplane.

    Considering an ST-LTD perhaps?

    I found the RT to be a bit fat and lardy. I came here as a disabled ex-biker (Buells) and really couldn't stomach riding round on what, to my eye, reminded me of a Gold Wing. The ST without it panniers looks fairly sporty to me and as a dedicated one bag traveler 45 litres of luggage space will...

    Headlights

    I posted on this a couple of days ago. Over here (Scotland) my STS lights are next to useless on dip because the fog light positioning is a cost saving compromise and nothing more. Certainly not worth doing yourselves. I'm probably going to do Cambello's option of Halogen Zenon bulbs and may add...

    Headlights STS

    Thanks for that. Where were they from exactly? You're right, we have great roads, but I don't like to shout too loudly as it only attracts the boys in blue to spoil the fun!

    GPS or VZ Navigator?

    I've been using an iPhone 5 for SatNav with Maps originally, then Co pilot and now TomTom. All work, but Maps is limited by 3G/4G coverage whereas dedicated apps hold the full maps. Co-Pilot was great, but a few times too many it crashed, so I now use TomTom and it's now on an iPhone 6. The...

    Headlights STS

    I have a 2013 STS and I'm generally very happy with it, but I have an issue with the headlights. I'm in the UK and we drive on the left, so the dipped lights dip the wrong way. The solution to this should be a whole new sets of headlight lenses, but the cheap way, the Can-Am way, is to disable...

    Wanting music in my helmet

    I use a Sena Bluetooth headset with my iPhone and it works well, but wind noise can be a pain and overpowers the music. However, with custom moulded ear plugs in, the wind noise is suppressed and the music is louder and clearer. A win-win in my book!

    F3 Frunk... any pictures?

    I read somewhere its 22 litres or half the existing models. The saddle bags are also smaller at 33 litres on the touring package. A total of 55 litres compared to about 90 or so on the ST or RS with saddle bags and 155 odd on the RT. As a one bag traveler, I often boast that there is no where I...

    To wear a helmet or not

    Helmets aren't mandatory on a trike in the UK (they are for bikes), but, despite being a believer in individual freedom, I wish they were! My son likes to ride pillion, but it's a fight to get him to wear a lid. He's 22, so really it's up to him, but I don't want his blood on my hands. I'm...

    Tire needed?

    Yup, that would get you 3 points on your licence here (12 for a ban) plus a cash fine!

    Brake peddle

    Thanks Billy, I'll take a look. Eric

    Brake peddle

    It's a 2013 STS SE5, and, if there's a guard, I can't see it and it certainly doesn't work! I should also add that this is not to take away from the handbrake, which is a great piece of kit!

    Brake peddle

    I have ISCI handbrake, but sometimes my foot seems to find itself under the pedal meaning that when you pull the lever, rather than slowing down, I just squeeze my foot! Normally this isn't a problem as I just release the lever a little, move my foot and re-apply the lever. BUT, in an emergency...
