• 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.

There is a block of aluminium with a bolt through it (2010 RS) that you can place the top...

    Need a 'Necessary Tools' list - any ideas?

    With a bench grinder & a round file you can make yourself a spiffy tool to remove those odd looking things (turnbuckles) that hold the case racks on. Rough as guts but it works.

    Lost a panel during a ryde.

    Another 'beware' I removed the side panel on my, new to me, RS2010. Tootled into town to get some oil to top up leaving the panel in my driveway. Get home to find the wind had blown the panel down the drive into the garden and scratched it, $150 to get repainted. Won't do that again.

    Passenger back rest

    Happy New Year all. My wife insists that she would prefer a top box to the fitted back rest. So, how the hell do I remove it? There are a couple of screws (galled) underneath but after removing them...nothing. It looks like the whole plate should shift forward but no movement there either. Any...
