• 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.

    Hi Roger, It will fit the new F3 with the RT swing arm :( If I had access to first generation F3 I'm sure I could make one to fit. JT

    No Hitch Required

    My buddy with a larger machine shop came buy and needed some parts cut out on the plasma so I sent him back with one of the press brake parts that would have been difficult for me to make so that will speed up the process of making the new press brake. Managed to get more done on it yesterday...

    That would be too heavy for the NHR Carrier. Remember it is attached to the swingarm not the frame. JT

    Poor gas mileage 2012 RTL

    One thing to keep in your mind is not all engines are created the same. My first 2012 998 got poor mileage (mid 20's) and the new one (long story) seems to get much better mileage at above 30. I had a bearing failure on the original 998 so make sure you get the extended warranty as it is cheap...

    Spyder update, I filled up with gas and was waiting for the screen to boot up to clear the trip an all hell broke loose. Seems there was an air pocket in the engine and when I pulled in for gas and pointed down hill a bit the burp occurred and set off a few over temp alarms, check engine light...
