• 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.

    Are you guys wearing shorts?The only time I notice it is if the fan is on sitting still while wearing tennis shoes.If I wear my boots (long pants)I don't have a problem.

    Rattling drving me crazy

    I had the same problem and I wrapped a little electrical tape around the latch pin and it went away!! My wife tells everyone that if her husband can't fix it with duct tape or bungee cords then he can't fix it.After 29 years she still hasn't figured me out.:thumbup:

    Easily removable saddlebags?

    I like the look of the Corbin bags over the Givis,but I understand they are not easily removed.Does anyone make a quick release bracket for them or are there any other hard bag options out there?

    Help me solve this problem

    I get the same thing every now and then when getting back into the throttle especially when riding two-up and lower rpm (<4000).I did not notice this untill I got the Race airflow installed but I am wondering if it was there all along and I could't here it due to the airbox.I also noticed it...

    Brake squeal gone!

    I know this is going to sound crazy but my wife was complaining about the brake squeal Saturday when we were riding and I had read on here about the brakes glazing and a tech said to hit the brakes hard to get rid of it. So Sunday morning when I went for a ride to check out my Juicebox setting...

    billet riser (help!)

    Thanks.I tried that but I cannot get the socket to stay on the head.Were you able to do this with a regular lenth socket?It seems like the plastic won't let me get the socket seated or else the heads were rounded off when the dealer installed the 1 inch BRP riser.
