• 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.

    I added a usb/voltmeter to the middle blank port in dash.

    This was a much more challenging process than I expected..! I had to remove the panel that the fog light, parking brake, heated grips & hi/lo compressor setting was to install it. Unplugging those electrical switches then reinstalling them was a challenge to say the least. Then the center blank...

    What do you think - will changing rear tire AND bearings allow balancing?

    I installed the Centramatic wheel balancers on my Spyder and pickup truck. These things work as advertised and help make for a smoother ride.

    Did I install Elka's upside down?

    I have watched the same video and the guy from Elka stated you can install them either way but he preferred to install them with the springs down to access the adjustable damper easier.

    Centramatic Worth it?

    Glad I added Centramatic balancers to my Spyder I installed Centramatic balancers all the way around and am glad to have them. The front was very noticeable and I have to imagine the rear is working as well. If they help me achieve more life out of my tires as they advise with me making sure my...

    Thinking about adding Centramatic wheel balancers to the front of my RT

    I just added the rear balancer myself. I YouTubed how to get the back tire off and how much ft/lb of torque to apply to the rear brake rotor after installing the Centramatic balancer and torque to the rear axle. I’m a believer in how these balancers work.
