• 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.

    Passenger heated grips too low - is this normal?

    heated passenger handgrips No this is not the case, I have the heated grip buttons aswell as the radio buttons and you can hear them click when you push them, can I therefore assume the last owner had them fitted? as you say you have a blank disc where the buttons should be. Thanks, Alex

    RT Rear Turn Signal Bulb Source.

    Agedbikeman The reason why the pins are at 12 & 5, not 6 o'clock is that the bulb is amber to shine through a clear lens. if the bulb was white to shine through an amber lens, the pins are at 12 & 6 o'clock. This is so you dont use the wrong bulb for the lens colour.
