• 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.

    Question re: ultimate seats

    Never heard this before. Both the wife's bike and mine have the Ultimate seat with the fuel door and neither of us has ever felt any heat.

    Looking at an RT

    Fog lights Just speaking for myself. We've had 3 RT's and all came with stock Fog Lights. And again speaking just for myself, but if the last 2 hadn't come stock on the bikes, I'd NEVER have added them after that first bike. They are a waste of money. You can't see them when they're on...

    Any aftermarket seat shock/struts??

    Works great! Ordered 2 of these off your post. One each for mine and my wife RT's. They work great with the heavier Ultimate seats whether the back rest is on or off, up or down. And th 40 lbs force is no problem, even for my wife. In fact feels much more solid. Thanks for the info!

    Winter riding clothes

    I stand corrected on them being a German company. Not sure where I'd heard they were but apparently I was wrong. Thanks. As far as quality. We've never had a problem with any of their stuff and the wife and I have been using it for nearly 20 years. Although like I said. We both just bought...

    Winter riding clothes

    The Harley heated gear and accessories are all made by Gerbing with the name Harley put on them. If you buy them from Gerbing (Gyde here in the US) direct next time you can save the mark up. Still not cheap but no mark up for adding the Harley name to it. added: a number of years ago (20+)...

    ANTENNA

    If and when you get a new (shorty) antenna DON'T use any locktite on it. Had to cut off my wife's antenna to get a socket onto it to get it out. Was locked in there tight!. (her bike has always had a reception problem) Cleaned out a crap load of blue locktite from the threads. Screwed in a...

    I have a BRP Bluebook Dongle set I'll sell It was on the 2014 RT that I bought and had it taken off when I had to have the bike inspected since we don't often wear helmets unless its inclement weather here. Anyone wants it. I'll sell it for $100 plus whatever USPS cost is for a one size fits...

    Shorty Antenna compared to stock antenna ...

    on the boot For any one doing this. One more thing. I opened the hole on the boot up a little with a couple of consecutively larger drills. It actually only opened maybe 50% larger because you're drilling thru rubber and I wasn't going to sit around freeze it first. Then coated both the...
