• 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.

    beaded seat for passenger I have not tried one on the RT for the passenger. The stock passenger seat has plenty of width but the depth is a little hard to measure due to the 'hump' . Since I have not ridden on the back--I can not comment on the 'hump' . It does seem to compress reasonably so...

    RT thoughts More range: I have been trying to fit an auxilliary fuel tank onto the RT. Tried 3 different readily available 2-3 gallon sizes. Nothing fits anywhere unless I want to have less than 2 gallons and take up the whole front trunk--bad tradeoff!!! Worked with Fuelsafe (we are one of...

    Wrap spring Ok Thanks for the input. I disassembled as much of the throttle assembly as possible but could not get it apart as far as I hoped. The problem appears to be that the end of the wrapped spring that fits into the hole in the plastic has broken part of the tip off. This results in...
