• 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.

    Bleeding brakes?

    Maintenance time for all fluids on our RTS. I do not see any bleeder valve on the calipers. You just bleed from master cylinder?. Next plugs and plug wires! These bikes are awful for DIY types.

    Messy back end!

    If you have a BP trailer hitch you could take off the mud flap and cut it to fit up under the rear fender. bolt it threw the fender right at the ridge on the fender. looks better and we both think it works much better in that spot rather then on the hitch.
