• 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.

    "Some of my favorite things..."

    I have a 2016 F3L, with the '17 Topbox added. Also have a number of lights, etc added, but my favorite additions are: a: Foam seat insert from Motorcycle Dave.

    Help with F3 Top Case

    Opposite sort of problem than many folks have had my guess: the new cable is bad or possibly this is a WASG, but maybe IF tech installed software update required to properly deal with rear speakers, the software may have switched off support since no amp/speakers would have been detected...

    IBA ride 48 states plus Alaska in 10 days

    I agree I bought my 1st cycle (a Spyder RTL) in Jul 2012 (71 years old at the time). I joined a group IBA 1000/24 ride the following Nov. In my case, I was more concerned about the physical aspects than the mental aspects. I was fairly confident that staying awake would not be a major...

    Helmets

    I agree regarding the Schuberth C3 But also like the Shoie GT Air. Both are a bit pricey, but I feel worth their price. the GT air is a full face helmet, but one that allows you to crack, or open the faceshield

    FYI: Top Case Kit for 2016-2017 F3T

    Bracket Actually the 'bracket' shown in removal video is not the bracket that is so confusing. The kit includes another bracket that reinforces the subframe and is mounted under the riders seat. It really is not directly related to the Top Case at all, except perhaps to compensate for the...
