• 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.

    Elka Stage 4 Installed on F3 LTD

    Thanks Jim, Elka provided some very good instruction, and they appear to be vehicle specific, along with pictures. It appears that they must mount different directions on different machines, RTL to F3 LTD. Anyway they do make a remarkable difference!! Rod

    Elka Stage 4 Installed on F3 LTD

    Hi PMK, The ride height appears to be about 1/4" higher, or about 6mm. Any change in ride height will require a alignment to be perfect. JS3535, I went with the Stage 4 because I wanted the low speed compression dampening and the rebound damping. I ride 2 up most of the time, and the low...

    Elka Stage 4 Installed on F3 LTD

    The cost for the shocks was $2115, from Lamonster, shipped Fed Ex The labor I did myself, and took me most of the day, cleaning parts along the way. 2nd time would be a snap, as tools would be known, so less time the more you do. The rewards in handling were worth it for me. Rod

    17 F3 LTD Rear Air Bag Removal

    SW Moto Engage tank bag

    Tank Bag is installed!! Ended up using 3/4" and 7/8" length round plastic spacers, about 3/8" dia. This allows the lock plate to stand off the bag, and move as close as possible to the key switch. 7/8" length in the front holes and the 3/4" in the rear. Lengths can be adjusted for preference...

    SW Moto Engage tank bag

    First post here, I was checking to see if others have installed the Engage Tank bag. If so, how was the locking plate installed to the bag in order get clearance with the key. The locking plate has to be turned 180 degrees, and does not move ahead far enough to get clearance. Did the middle...
