• 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.

    BRP Idler Failure....DONT BEAT ME UP

    Sounds Ok to me I have just fitted a BRP tensioner and am very glad to hear it could last 25,000 miles or longer. That is about 40,000Km for me and I would be happy with that. Also, I can buy and fit a half dozen BRP tensioners for the price of some of the after markets. Baz

    F3 Ant I had the same issue with Baker rack and Givi box. Busted my antenna trying to remove it. I replaced it with another ant in the same position. It touches the box and just bends away. Makes absolutely no difference to reception.

    My first mod.

    First Mod Mate, if you take a look where that cord is hanging, on first pic, the speaker cover. You can cut a 1 inch (ish) hole there and mount your 12volt outlet inside, plenty of space. It is neat and will look like a factory job. Baz
