• 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.

    Flag holder for RT

    I use the new RIVCO mounts that attach to the trunk lip. They work great with 11 x 15 flags I get here: http://k9az.com/hotdealswebpage/PGRflags

    Any options for cordless battery tender?

    Best way to keep the battery charged is to ride - daily or every few. Good for what ails you as well ;)

    Replacing the grips?

    I use leather on my grips that I got here: www.chilhowee.net/grip-covers.html#swatches I use the ones without the fringe and they work great - give me a thicker grip (used double sided tape to secure the grip) and the heaters work just fine. :thumbup:

    can am trailer towing

    I like the trailer and have no issues with it at all. It really makes traveling comfortable! I don't have the 622 but still don't even know I have mine back there. MPG drops to around 30. All in all, a great upgrade :thumbup:

    "E"

    Check the codes if it happens again. Once in awhile is a glitch but if it get worse or the codes indicate failure vice incompatibility, you probably need a new gear position sensor.

    Rear Shock Replacement

    If you are adding air, it is not the shock that is bad - it is the load leveling air bag. Replacement for that may be more costly for a shock. I know when I replaced my shocks with Elkas, the book said 1.5 hrs for all 3. INHO, the rear one seemed to be the easiest, at least the way that the...

    Ride from Greenville, Part 1

    Thanks for the feedback. We were heading back on Sunday AM, about 0900 and there was very little traffic. We really got to enjoy the sights and the smell of new cut hay that seemed to be everywhere. In the real twisty part, there was something in bloom that smelled so good - didn't want to...
