• 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.

    Nitrogen in tires

    Tire Pressure? I get 38 to 44 mpg on a Goldwing 1800, 2 up, pulling a Bushtec with good ole air and correct pressure(max). Might be your lower fuel mileage was a result of low or inconsistent air pressure, not air vs. nitrogen. Just my opinion. Dunflops on Goldwings, must be checked...

    What type of oil do you use?

    BRP OIL I use BRP, and will continue using till warranty expires. Don't want finger pointing if something should fail during the warranty period, even tho we are covered by law. It reduces the hassle.
