• 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.

    Vredestein 175/55R15 Fit.

    I still have no problem running them, the slight rubbing on the plastic didn't even make a mark on the tire. I believe that the rubbing which happened on the left side only was from some very extreme antics while I was trying the bike out, which caused the tire to flex as wall as the fender.

    Protect your TP stash from zombies

    This guy is usually pretty proficient with weapons, but it looks like the full auto fire at around 2:24 sends those 4 lb. projectiles toward the moon due to recoil. The next little bit also seems to show the impacts around the target, but the inclination of the barrel suggests otherwise.

    Prudence or Panic?

    I just saw a report on the R0 communicability factor being much higher than previously reported. IT was first estimated around the mid 2's, not their claiming it's in the mid 5 range. Which may mean it is far more widespread, and therefore less lethal than projected. Pure speculation of...

    Vredestein 175/55R15 Fit.

    I know that there is absolutely no damage to the tire. The fenders are a little flexible, but I honestly think that the wear on the fender came from my "Testing the Envelope" and maybe running low air pressure while trying to determine what was correct.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finished installing my upgrade lights. Put in LED 360° headlights and fog lights, as well as those fancy progressive front fender turn signals. Headlights are 9005 form factor, specs are 6000K color, 70W/7000LM, DC 12V. Fog lights are H9 form factor, with the same specs. They are extremely...

    Vredestein 175/55R15 Fit.

    I had the bike up on the jack and stands installing the new front fender progressive turn signals. I remember a lot of discussion about the fit of the Vredestein 175/55R15 tire in the front fender as to clearance. So I looked and to my surprise I saw this; Note this is at the rear of the left...

    Centramatic Balancers on F3

    From what I've read it is better to balance the tire and also run the Centramatics. Due to their small size and diameter, they can only handle a certain amount of imbalance. I static balanced my wheels, then put the Centramatics on at all 3 corners. Very smooth. One thing not mentioned...

    TricLED Contact number or email?

    Exactly.:agree: I soldered and heat shrinked (shrunk?) all my connections that used butt splices or those awful T-Taps. I still didn't like the small connections that weren't waterproofed like the AMP Superseal for the main harness, but you can get by with packing them with diaelectric grease...

    Bought a new toy

    We switched to a zero turn a couple of years ago. The wife was very much against it, said they were weird. She does the grass cutting. I played in the yard with it, mowed some grass. Once she got on it and learned how intuitive it was to use she took off, won't ever go back. We cut about...

    TricLED Contact number or email?

    Rats! I hate to hear that, I just finished installing mine today. I installed their new 360° LED headlights and fog lights as well. Looks great, hope mine are reliable.

    Easy & in-expensive anti- virus Mask

    Good one BLUEKNIGHT911. I'm in absolute agreement that anything is better than nothing. I've absolutely lost confidence in the WHO, CDC and now out Surgeon General for telling us normal folks that a mask won't do us any good, while we watch with our lying eyes every first responder wearing...

    HowTo: Head & Fog Light Install Video on an RT

    In the process of installing LED Headlights and fog lights. The video made it a simple task, but 2 items I got hung up on I thought I'd bring up. On my 2018 RTL I have the USB and 3.5mm audio jack in the frunk, and the grommet needs to be poked out with a screwdriver before lifting the frunk...

    Great day to ride however...

    Riding may be one of the only means of stress relief from the insanity of all this that some people have. With that in mind, check out this plan. If I have to burn off steam, I'll plan a loop around small towns. I'll bring my mask and gloves, as well as hand sanitizing stuff. I'll bring...

    It Costs How Much?????

    Considering how badly all 2 wheel touring sales are slumping, I'd say right demographic, wrong price point. Wow!

    Air Bag

    Mr Gerald37, I ride an 18 RTL and have exactly the same automatic air ride system you do. I replaced the spring on my rear shock and learned a lot about the system. The system consists (simplified) of the air pump, a bleeder valve, a feedback height sensor on the drive belt side about midway...

    Balancing Vredestein Quatrac 5

    Mr Lew, I took my front tires and rims to a car tire place with a road force balancer. That is a great machine. Adjusts the high spot to work with the out of balance condition to give you a tire that runs true with the minimum amount of weight. Some places are a little uptight about putting...

    Prudence or Panic?

    Mr. Boileranimal, I think the health organizations brought on a lot of their own derision and skepticism. I know why they did it (to make the PPE available to front line medical personnel), but the statements like "You (normal citizens) don't need masks" and "Masks aren't effective" while...

    Please do this when you buy - gas

    I'm practicing the same kind of thing. I use cheap blue throw away gloves, then rinse my hands with a bleach solution, then rinse with water. Removal of the glove is also a critical point, using the off hand to strip the contaminated glove off and balling it up in the uncontaminated glove...

    Mr Grandpot, As always when viewing your stuff I learned something today. It's gonna be a good day! I've subscribed this thread as it is so useful.

    Best size rear tire

    I can't speak directly to the F3 as I ride a 2018 RTL. Mine had a 2-3 MPH error at 70 MPH with the OEM Kenda. I replaced it with a Vredstein 205/60R15 car tire, and it took about 50% of the error out. I now run about 1 MPH difference. I've heard the 215/60R15 is pretty much the ticket, but...
