• 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.

    We talked about a new rear tire for me. I bought one. But is this typical of Kendas?

    I had managed a bit over 20,000 KM out of my rear Kenda tyre just over 12,000 miles for memory, but I don't think it was that much different to my Honda ST1300.:thumbup:

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    One thing I forgot to mention, hearing is only a Once in a Life-time thing. Yes, hearing aids help, but go into a noisy environment, shops, or a restaurant while wearing them & you hear everything; with natural hearing you are able to turn off to the external noises, with hearing aids in you...

    Will EBC Brake Pads & Rotors work better with hand lever & MS strength limitations?

    Thanks for the comments I find it very informative. I have a read of Bajaron's comments about the EBC rotors if you do the front no need for the rear so I will go EBC Pads and front rotors first and try that, unfortunately I think ill have to import the rotors as the man that did it here in...

    Will EBC Brake Pads & Rotors work better with hand lever & MS strength limitations?

    Hello Bert and Peter thanks for the replies. What I understand about glazing is that Glazed brakes are a common issue that can occur when a brake pad becomes worn down or contaminated, causing it to lose its ability to grip the brake rotor or rim effectively. The glazing process is when the...
