• 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.

    Thoughts on this Bilt Bluetooth Helmet?

    I decided to try the Bilt helmet I mentioned myself at Cycle Gear today. I actually liked the helmet. The plusses for me were a LG fit comfortably, I was able to easily put on my glasses, and finally the sun shield came down the farthest of any module helmet I've tested. I didn't buy it as...

    2020+ RT OEM handlebars?

    I hope you also realize that you can raise or lower your bars as well. There is a pin and a slot that allows some degree of movement up and down. I personally have the bars that come closest to my body and I have them nearly as low as they can get. Works great for me. Rob

    Looking at a Ryker

    This is a ways for you, but you might want to call David Levitt at Sierra Cycles in Sierra Vista, AZ. Their number is (520) 459-2589. They are the most straight-up and fairest dealer I've ever seen. It would at least give you an option or confirm what you are finding elsewhere. Feel free to...

    Anyone having issues updating your zumo xt? I have a zumo xt and I've installed garmin express on two of my Macs. I plug in my zumo to the USB port and it stays stuck on searching for updates. This happens on both Macs. The app does not seem frozen, but something clearly isn't working as it...

    2020 RTL Removing Brake Fluid Reservoir

    Got it! Got it, Joe. Do you put it back in when reinstalling? I ask because I wonder if the reservoir will stay just fine without it. For others: For me it was easiest to see looking from the top and rear of the reservoir. I also found it easiest to pull out from the rear side (versus the...

    Trying Rustoleum Peel Color Shift Paint

    I purchased a can of Pasti Dip Clear to spray areas I wanted paint protection. But, I haven't had the guts to give it a try yet. Anyone else used Clear Pasti Dip as an alternative to clear vinyl protection? Rob

    GPS power is on the right-front side of the bike. Here's what it looks like: The GPS/Accessory connector is plugged into an empty socket for storage. You have to remove the 6 clip cover that gives you access to the oil filler and you have to remove the large top front body piece to be able...

    Russell Day long or Ultimate Seat

    I've had both on my 2015 RTL. Both are good and I preferred the Russell. I've also had Russells on several other bikes and I've always been pleased. Some I've purchased new and some I've purchased used. The one for my 2015 RTL was used and replaced my Ultimate that I purchased new. Rob
