• 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.

    Warning regarding Sena batteries

    Sena does not offer battery replacement. I know there are videos on how to replace with a different battery and change out the connectors, but many people do not feel they have the ability to accomplish that. I cannot imagine a manufacturer not offering plug and play battery replacements.

    Better drink cup

    Does anyone know if there is a better drink cup than a Butler? I never thought the Butler kept liquid cold very long especially after using a Yeti. I wish Yeti came with a handle and covered straw.

    debris in radiators

    I had the front off my 2014 RTL and noticed how much debris was in the radiators after 25K miles. I am ordering the front grill screens to see if they will act as another barrier for debris getting through. Always thought they were mainly for looks before.
