• 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.

    well, I was right. as soon as I got caught in the rain the soap turned to suds and now the belt is squealing on the outer edge of the front pulley again. what a p.i.t.a these things are. something is discombuberated!

    Wind screen vent

    the one I indicated above fit my shield just fine. granted I have a showchrome shield on my ride but it is the same curvature as the stock shield I have hanging on the wall. at least the vent layed on it as it did on the showchrome shield. near as I can tell they are all made in china.

    Spyder Oil Change Schedule

    dunno, seems they never go back on tight. left hand mirror, hold down on the end of the mirror with your right hand, hit the front of the housing and then hit up on the bottom. should come off. then lift the mirror off of the upper pin. got to hit them pretty hard with the palm of your hand.

    belt squeal

    out on a ride a few weeks ago met an oldtimer bike mechanic/builder. he heard the belt on my 2012 rts squeal as I pulled in beside his and his friends matching Indians. told me to get rid of the squeal to jack the bike up, start it, put it in 1st gear and take a bar of bath soap to the edges of...
