• 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.

    New 3-Wheeler Coming to Market

    http://news.yahoo.com/no-helmets-required-elio-vehicle-200828011.html It is fully enclosed with seat belts and airbags. Can't be much of a "wow" factor and sure sounds like a car. To each his/her own, I guess. I saw something similar last weekend, but it was open top. It had a P-R-N-D-2-1...

    Limp Home Mode Problem

    Plastic fastener tool

    On the RS there are 6 under the seat. 2 that hold the front cowl and 4 (2 on each side) that hold the rear panels that have the turn signals. The 2 in the rear are a bit of a hassle for big hands, but none of them are really difficult to get to.

    ISCI Adjustable handlebars risers VS Kewl Metal adjustable handlebar risers ?

    Boots?

    I buy my boots at Academy. They are black pull on with flat rubber soles. They only last about 1 riding season (that is all year in Texas), but they only cost about $60. I wear jeans to work, so I don't know how well they would work with a dressier environment.

    Rear tire change and possible bearing replacement

    The tire should be no problem and I see no reason to replace the bearings after 7k miles. I did have my dealer check and adjust the belt tension after changing my wife's tire. Somehow, it ended up too tight.
