• 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.

    Anyone else using CompCooler Motorcycle Rider Solo Cooling System?

    Is container large enough to hold reusable ice blocks or small frozen water bottles? Every corner store that sells Fountain drinks has Ice dispensers; most sell just cups of ice under $0.50 - (most) truck stops do too.

    Opinions wanted - How I and the Dealer handled a service issue - long read warning

    Dealer heard you maybe moving & maybe not their problem. One possibility as well as will not be a returning customer, too much left to your opinion on personal interactions with dealer as a whole. Yes belt was supposed to be showroom correct (not just within spec) before you were handed keys...

    What do you carry for Travel Snacks?

    I like DIY trail mix of sorts - freeze dried assortment, fave nuts, sparingly on chocolate that might melt, pretzel mini or sticks broken; break so all are about the same size & pour easily, no baking required. Usually, I put all this in an empty Pringles can (which fits & carries well in most...

    What are these 'extra wires' hanging out the back of my Spyder?? Your Thoughts?

    I’d make sure they don’t have any excess slack in wires & secure away from hot tail pipe as well.

    Any helpful tips for installing a Lamonster Belt damper on a 2022 RT?

    Admitting ignorance on the matter, I have felt some oddities across various machines - saddle or otherwise; I can’t say belt vibrations were one of them.

    How difficult is Removing the BRP Back rest on 2013 ST-S?

    Well, there's a couple of options: you say stock cover so that would involve removing the sports rack - that's just 4 bolts & a release cable for the main body. The stock tail cone can then cover the aluminum bracket, unless you want to go ahead remove that too, an additional bolt & nut that're...
