• 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.

    2015 Side Case Strengthener Kit

    Gypsy - Actually, there was no problem with the depth of the milled area, that worked out just fine and I think will be totally consistent from one machine to the next. The area that I had to clear was the left to right length of the milled area. On the first bracket, it fit perfectly. On...

    2015 Side Case Strengthener Kit

    Gypsy - Yes, I did have to grind out 3 of the 4 new backing plates to clear the barbs holding in the original backing plates. One of them fit perfectly. The backng plates were very consistent so it was a variation within the plastic parts, mostly due to moving and bending of the plastic at...

    2015 Side Case Strengthener Kit

    I had the honor of being Doc's tester for the Side Case Strengthener Kit on a 2015 RT-S. There have been a few discoveries and tweaks along the way but here is my general report.I think this kit will work for its intended purpose. Doc is going to make a few minor changes but the design appears...

    Badboy horn/ Stereo plug? / VKEY

    The front assembly plug is also where I tied into for a trigger wire for my Fuze block. However, I did not have to remove the frunk to get to it (2015 RT-S). The hole in the Frunk whre this accessory would be mounted, if installed, is in the upper right hand area of the Frunk. I pulled the...

    Make Her Happy

    .... and put in one of Doc Humphrey's / Roadster Renovations Trunk lid mirrors. These are a polished metal type of mirror. You manually bend it to get it close to the curvature of your trunk lid and then just stick it on with the supplied double stick tape. My wife really likes this because...

    Cup Holder for 2014 Tri Axial Handle bars

    Drink2go And another one. Their website is actually www.drink2go.net but I just checked and they're still there. On 2015 RT-S with Tri-Axis handlebars, the "Spyder2go" model was $15 and took one screw to mount (screw inclduded). The passenger cupholder is the "Drink2go" model and it was $12...

    Repair/Strengthener Hinge Kit

    Hey Doc, saw my name as a tester and got pretty excited! Then I remembered that I actually have to figure this thing out. Doh! Looking forward to 3 pages of light reading and I'll do my best to get some good pics along the road to installation. Let me know the shipping method and any...

    Grip Puppies

    They probably are a little tougher than Grip Puppies. I have used both and I was trying to convey to the original poster that they both feel similar to me. For a low dollar item like this, the length of service is only a concern regarding the hassle of ordering another pair and then installing...

    Grip Puppies

    Another Option And here is yet another option. These are similar to Grip Puppies (which I have used and like) but they are a wrap with a hook and loop closure making them easy on and off and even temporary if you like. Yes, they leave a "seam" that you can feel on the grips because they are...

    My 25 Cent GPS

    Brings up an idea. A seperate forum section where members post that they would like to take a trip / vacation to "wherever" and see if there is anybody there who wants to trade to come to your neck of the woods. You swap homes for however many days. Oh, wait a minute. Seems that I remember...

    My 25 Cent GPS

    And now for the real truth. The credit has to go to my co-pilot / best friend / wifey poo. She simply pulls out the card one day, stares at it for a moment and says "Why can't you just tape something on here to write on". I love it / hate it when she does that. Well, back to my trigonometry...

    My 25 Cent GPS

    We only got in 150 yesterday but they were mostly 3rd gear twisties so it was still about 5 hours of riding. Need to make some changes on the seat before we hit 400 mile days. Sad to hear of the fire damage. Being a Southern California dweller that is something that we also live with each...

    My 25 Cent GPS

    Actually, I'm fishing to see how many members are sitting on their Lazyboys goofing around on the Internet instead of out riding their machines on this beautiful Sunday morning. I'm farkling and checking in from time to time on the iPad in the garage so at least I have an excuse.

    My 25 Cent GPS

    I have my co-pilot read it and then she can tell me what to do. Seems to work out best that way.

    My 25 Cent GPS

    I finally found a use for the Instructional Safety card that I know we all read prior to starting up our machines each and every time. When I have some place to go and I just need the reminder of a few street names and which way to turn, I take a piece of stiff card stock (she didn't really...

    Ruby Has Arrived!

    Vibration Afraid I can't help with this one quite yet. Still in the break-in period (for me as much as Ruby) and haven't droned down the highway yet at that speed (71 - 80 mph) to see if there is a vibration issue. We are the SE6 as well. I'm still doing that working thing so I need the...

    Ready to leave Harley

    Have had a Sears Mini-bike, Yamaha two stroke enduro, Yamaha cruiser, Kawasaki Z1900, Harley Super Glide, Harley Road King, BMW R1200RT and BMW K1600GTL. Rode our new 2015 RT-S home from the dealer on Saturday. At a stoplight on a 4 lane portion of the highway, I was at the front of one of the...

    Ruby Has Arrived!

    Yesterday we picked up our 2015 RT-S SE6 Red Pearl Spyder, aka "Ruby". We are coming from a BMW K1600GTL. I rode her home on the back roads about 40 miles and since the missus was still recovering from a bad cold, I just parked her in the garage and spent the rest of the day adding some...
