• 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.

    Do you have this Luggage Rack?

    top case rack One can get the large round washers with the star pattern in the middle and this helps a lot, also use a large fender washer or preferably the biggest 1/8 inch aluminum backing plate on the inside of the lid and this should stop any cracks from developing. Andy

    CB Radio Issues

    CB issues I came from a GoldWing and sure do miss the hassle free audio system. From what I read in the J&M website, their antenna should solve the short transmitting range of the oem Spyder CB. Andy
