• 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.

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    Electrical Question....again I earlier posted some questions regarding some wiring issues... So now I have the fuse box installed (kinda a tight fit) but have found that the fused circuit I had tested to be switched is NOT (and Dang, I thought I was finished) And, in looking at other fuse...

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    Guys, thanks so much for this information!! At this point, I am committed to a fuse block in order to clean up the mess, that I made 'over a period of time'. I literally cannot tell what goes where as I have piggybacked too many connections. These devices are, I believe, all LED lights. So, I'm...

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    Lots of good information...but, you seem to forget the NOOB part. What wire , from where, to where? I think the fuse block makes a lot of sense (before and now). Again, what wire to where, to where, passing through what device? I'm thinking it's going to have to be professional help, despite me...

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    OK, that part makes sense to me. But, I still would like to have a rheostat (replaced if necessary). And, where do I connect the other wire? Thanks

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    First, thanks for answering. I do not want them on with the headlights, only a variable option. The driving lights are LEDs and I cannot easily locate the load. The rheostat is to dim those lights which get an instant reaction from on-coming traffic. Yeah, I was doing pretty good until you...

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    First, I am a complete electrical noob, that's important information! I have a pair of driving lights (fender mount) that worked just great for 3 years or so, connected to a rheostat on the side cover. A minor irritation was that I wired it such that the lights did not switch off with the...

    Re-Install the "bra" component. 2016 F3L

    I am really hoping there is a "Trick" to reinstalling this component. I finally get it done but it's just a PITA. The component I have labeled as the "bra" is the plastic component below the windshield and above the trunk lid. That's the component necessary to remove in order to remove the...

    2016 F3-L Need advice, replace glove box closure device

    I ordered and have the necessary parts, according to the dealer. I've 'been told' that I need to remove the instrument cluster (and I don't know what else) to gain access to the proper area. I've never removed the instrument cluster. Is there anything special to watch out for, gotchas, or...

    Storage (glove?) box closure failure

    I have a 2016 F3L. The storage box, I don't know the proper name so glove box) below the windshield and above the instrument cluster will not stay closed any longer. It appears that the female closure has failed. In fact, with a flashlight and probe, I cannot find any evidence of it at all. I...

    Proper chock on trailer - what's the best strategy to stop wheels turning?

    On my last trip the bike’s front tires began to turn almost causing some fender damage. So, my technique must be off with either the chocks ot the straps. What is the better strategy? Thanks!

    Battery electrical leak

    Sorry for the delay. The battery is only 1 year old, maintained on the charger. But, it is a bit slow to turn over, even for a second crank when warm. I’ll have it checked but, I will just replace it if any weakness shows up...it is not worth getting stranded! Thanks for all the good info!

    Battery electrical leak

    Well, I 'think' I have one. How would I check this with a volt meter? I guess the battery could be shot but, it is kept on a battery tender full time so, that 'should not' be the issue. Thanks!

    NEW PRODUCT FROM F4 CUSTOMS INC. FOR THE F3 TOURING AND LIMITED

    As a complete accident, I just clicked on the install video for the 'wedgie' mirror shake cure...and noticed that that windshield has a right-angled bracket. It appears that would work just fine. As it is my shield attaches with just two, vertically aligned, bolts on each side which, have...

    NEW PRODUCT FROM F4 CUSTOMS INC. FOR THE F3 TOURING AND LIMITED

    I got my wings and they are fully assembled. But, there is no mounting hardware or directions/suggestions on how to identify the exact position of the holes to be drilled. The clearance of the wing over the mirror is very tight. That's a good thing unless the install is off by a slight amount...
