• 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.

    Significant progress on talking to CAN Bus on Spyder

    Under option "D", Do any of the Bytes refer to a "Byte of Raspberry Pi" ???? (sorry, I couldn't stop myself from making that comment ....) On a more serious note, I have not looked seriously into the can / usb adapters, but it seems to me that you should be able to get a serviceable unit for...

    Gravel

    I agree. I live at the back end of a 1.5 mile long rugged gravel road. Most of the time my wife rides her F3 LTD and I ride my F6B. (I get to watch her ABS kick in on some of the steeper hills). We just take it slow and enjoy the scenery. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    cleaning of the shield

    I have a 2016 F3 Ltd "Triple Black" so I have to be careful with the mat-black areas. I use "Non-Ammonia" windex for the shield and quick touch-ups of the whole bike. For bug splats, nothing works better than a wet dryer sheet. Takes them off with no scrubbing (little trick I learned from...

    Harbor Freight Cycle Lift

    I have a Harbor freight lift that I initially bought to move my wife's Shadow around. Additionally, I have 2 other motorcycle lifts I use regularly. The Harbor Freight lift is not as sturdy as a Pit-bull or one of the other "professional" jacks, but for the occasional lifting, working on the...

    Gun nuts

    The Judge looks nice, But I've seen reliability issues with them. I prefer the Henry Big Boy Steel in 357 mag. Same load as my sixgun, but 1800+fps out of a 20" barrel. Good brush gun for medium size game. Also, Henry is 100% "Merican"

    Nolan Helmets

    I have an Nolan N-44 N-com. No vibration problems of any kind. I also really like the convertible feature of it .... Full face to 3/4 just by snapping off the chin-bar. When in 3/4 mode, I usually just use the sunshield, but the longer outer shield is great in the rain.

    Explain to me why?

    The scary thing is everything is more and more complex electronics. My wife and I are both retired US Navy Electronics Technicians and yet we try to find the simplest (least electronic) systems we can .... But, even my car has 3 remotes (from the factory !!!)

    2016 SS Model

    It is tough to get to, I found a small Tie-wrap about 2 inches from the end (Near the tag that says customer accessory ...) ... Clipped it and the line came free. Thin you have to deal with the cloth electrical tape from hell to expose the wires. Good luck ...
