• 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.

    Windshield for F3 Short People

    I am 5'4" and had the same problem. Now have route 129 which I love. Also had gauge spoiler, at normal height and also had it lifted a bit with little brackets, but it did not stop the strong wind on my chest at speed. Looked great, but didn't stop the rain on my upper body... After i I got...

    Farkles are like chips

    Looking past things like swaybar and mechanical bits - which I call necessities, not farkles, and which therefore don't come out of my farkle budget (lol) Backrest for rider - maybe I take off too fast, :roflblack:but on the f3s I find it fantastic.

    Not sure what to do

    Peter's said it. Only other thought is to get the scoops (for 13 rt) put on - I know your heat is lower down, but a change of airflow may do the trick. Others have reported positively.

    Handbrake on RT - Opinion

    I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps because i am not tall or wide - I cannot even sit on an rt without right hip seizing up. The st was better for me than the Rs. The f3s is best for me, as it is easy to tweak the height of the brake pedal, and the footboard location, and add a backrest -...

    Ignition switch 'jammed' .. key won't turn

    Who knew that my dad's home repair recipe - if wd40 doesn't work, hit it with a hammer - would work on a spyder? Glad it's all working now.

    Steering in corners is killing me.......

    Agree other issues are more likely the problem - but if the bars are very wrong for the rider's height and reach, everything including steering goes pear shaped.

    Steering in corners is killing me.......

    Not quite... Raised bars have enormous practical value for some riders - maybe it's cos I'm 5'4" but they made a huge difference on my Rs and st. Nb I am not talking about ape hangers... Still orig bars may help this rider...

    Congratulations!

    Thank you for explaining what the preacher meant by balm of... Firstly - an accent thing - I couldn't work it out as sounded like bom not barm. Secondly I had no idea what it referred to.

    Yep - they said Rachel Meghan during the service - no surprise there Yep she's what you may label a feminist, no shame there Yep she may be from ca - most of the world just knows she's American, and really doesn't care which state Yep, wonder how much the former friend was paid for her comments...

    More dumb questions from a newbie ....

    Right ! 1330 is the triple. We couldn't leave my Rs or st untendered for any longer than a week, our f3s' are fine - longest without a ride is about six weeks, started right up. Sorry for the shorthand lingo... ;)

    More dumb questions from a newbie ....

    There are no dumb questions... We've all been there Re tender - I would say essential on the twins unless ridden daily. No need on the triple... it has different and improved alternator set-up vs the twins.

    NOT TO BE POLITICAL, BUT I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND

    It's easy to put this conflict on religion, but... add in territory, power, etc Jerusalem is the key centre for three religions, christian, jewish and muslim. It is the historic capital of Palestine (pre 1948). It is also claimed by Israel. That is what the last few decades of peace talks have...

    NOT TO BE POLITICAL, BUT I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND

    This post just has to get political - I'm not about to point out the obvious, but merely comment that this is not a simple issue, nor is the us embassy relocation just a building move.
