• 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.

    Disabled the analogue gauges & want to replace with other gauges instead - Suggestions please?

    I put a volt meter on the right and used Bob White's idea for mounting a Ram X-Grip, for my phone, on the left.

    Do still ride a motorcycle ??

    At 72 the Spyder has been a blessing for the long haul trips. Although, I still like to take the old BMW K75 out for some "wind in the hair fun.

    Battery Drain

    When I return from a ride and put my 2017 RTL in the secure barn, for convenience, I always leave the key in the ignition. Does this cause a small drain on the battery due to the key chip communicating with the D.E.S.S ? Its not really an issue because I always hook up a battery tender. Just...

    Magic mirrors or not... Really?

    Just installed them. I have arthritis in my hands, so banging on the mirrors was torture. Love the Magic mirrors. Ordered them from Lamonster on Sunday and received them Wednesday! Who could ask for better service?

    Snow

    Almost 2 inches of the white stuff here in Hartland. That plus the "mud bog" Livingston County calls a road out front signal's the end of my riding season. Last week I had the "pleasure" of ferrying my daughters Kawasaki 650 back to my heated shop for the winter, 38 degrees and 0 wind...

    BREAK-IN OIL

    Does anyone know if BRP uses a break-in oil in their new 1330 engines? Just had my 3K service and to me the engine is quieter and the transmission shifts smoother.

    Windscreen Modification

    With the unusually hot summer we are having here in Michigan, I find myself longing for some extra breeze over the top of my 2017 RTL's windscreen. Even in the full down position there isn't much. Has anyone had their STOCK windscreen shortened by say 2 inches? And who would do that type of...
