• 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.

    Pressed my luck

    I've always had my battery on a tender. the _one_ time someone tripped over the cable and it unplugged... now the battery is dead. it wont even charge. Bought in 4/2019. I can never seem to get more than 24months out of a battery. even while tendered.

    Should I upgrade or should I keep it?

    Haven't posted in a very very long time. Had a 2008, then traded in for a 2010 RTS back in 2010. In 10 years I _only_ have about 25k miles. Mostly commuting for work. Always garaged. Kelly Blue Book value is much less than I would expect even with lots of farkles. If I traded in for a new...

    Sirius/XM radio antenna - mounting location?

    i have an Onyx (color) XMradio that I mounted to the left handlebar. The power, antenna cable come up from the center. The Antenna is mounted under my front windscreen with 3M double stick tape. The EZ-Pass is also mounted under the windscreen. Never an issue with either. I have a 2010...

    Massachusetts ryders

    I've been ryding since my RS 2008 then my 2010 RTS which I still have now. Each year the ryding miles get lower due to family, kids, pick up, drop off, weather.

    audio system

    Search my profile and my earliest posts. I have been running a JBL 400w amplifier in the rear trunk, plus HERTZ brand (POLK previous to those) as replacement speakers for the past 10 years. I forced fit 6.25" speakers in front and 5" in the back. I also installed my own XM radio ONYX. My...

    HowTo: Replace the Windsheld Arm with Billet Aluminum Arm.

    As a added update... the part is doing great. no issues with the part. I'm not entirely sure I have my magnents set right on the endstops.

    HowTo: Replace the Windsheld Arm with Billet Aluminum Arm.

    Regardless, I now have a functional wind shield again. I will be designing additional add-on parts for other areas. I have now have Carbon Fiber back coming in.

    HowTo: Replace the Windsheld Arm with Billet Aluminum Arm.

    I printed mine in High Temp PLA that has a 6000psi tensile strength. I can print in CarbonFiber PETG that is extremely stiff. However, I firmly believe that the reason _why_ the original part breaks is due to torsional stresses induced from periodic road conditions with pot holes etc. The...

    Replaced broken windsield bracket with my own 3D printed design

    Yes, I agree 100%. As for the part... I did rotate the magnet 180deg which be the same but It still doesn't trip the sensor like it used to. I'll open it all up this weekend as It's difficult after a long days' work and low light in the garage. :)

    Replaced broken windsield bracket with my own 3D printed design

    Update: My only issue is I must have messed up the orientation of the magnet. Even after using a sharpie to mark original positions, I'm having issues with getting the gearing to work as intended. This has nothing to do with the part i replaced. It could easily have been made out of...

    Replaced broken windsield bracket with my own 3D printed design

    And 'Viola'. It's done. It's not shiny like an aluminum billet, but it sure is strong. This particular filament has 6000psi tensile strength. I could easily print more and resell. Not sure how much to sell. Send me a PM if you're interested. It took me a few hours to design, revise and...

    HowTo: Replace the Windsheld Arm with Billet Aluminum Arm.

    My windshield arm just broke for the second time. First time was within warranty years ago. I'm planning on designing and 3D printing mine out of Carbonfiber infused PETG.
