• 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.

    2024 RT Ltd Cruise Control Indicator Light not showing - anyone else?

    I was riding on 7/3 and watched for the cruise icon on my 2022 RTL. It only comes on when cruise is engaged. If I just have the switch in the on position, there's nothing on the screen K80Shooter: I am sure the on/off switch is for 2 reasons: one, to activate cruise; and two, turn it off for...

    2024 RT Ltd Cruise Control Indicator Light not showing - anyone else?

    I must admit after 12 years of riding 3 different RTL's I never noticed if the screen has any indicator that denotes the cruise control is on. On all 3, I mostly leave the cruise switch in the on position and then set the speed as needed. Once I turn off the Spyder the setting is cancelled.
