• 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.

    Trying to do my homework

    Me not dainty either I have a 2013 RT-S. I am 6'3 260# and found the stock seat was okay. Not great but okay. A little too much knee bend which caused my elderly knees to complain after an hour or so. Temporary fix was to stand up on the floorboards at a stop light. (A luxury that is hard...

    Removing lower screws top side panel - no tool

    The Infamous Crooked Pins :agree: These are the 'infamous' crooked pins. Unlike most of the other panel retaining pins these are not straight but are curved and have a critical orientation. They are a little harder to pull out than the others. The real challenge comes when re-installing...

    What's best for Cleaning the Windshield? Anyone use Pledge?

    :agree: I have used Plexus for years on aircraft, all kinds of plexiglass, etc. It works really well. Not as cheap as a good soak with water and some patience but works fast and well with no streaking.

    2014 RT-S Suspension - fitment on 2013 - VSS upgrade??

    Most Probably Ride that way If you have had the good fortune to test ride a 2014 then you are probably correct. The 2014 is only 60# heavier than the 2013 according to specs I see. I disagree with people who think that the shocks/spring rate were changed because the 2014 is heavier. IMHO 60...
