• 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.

    RUSSELL DAY LONG ARRIVED! - Arrrrrrr!

    Received my Russell Day Long seat today.... Got to say, it's as good as all my previous seats I've had on other bikes. Lifted me up about an inch, sat me back into the seat. I will be testing it out next week on a 1200 mile trip.

    Tricled Remote Frunk Opener Installed

    Added the remote frunk opener from Tricled. Works great! Added my open momentary switch as the one they include is a little "meh!" Its just under the right hand mirror, in the top side panel. Very safe too. It uses a fuse attachment that attaches to the 2nd 10amp fuse in the right side fuse...

So, I just wanted to post something different: Had the Spyder out yesterday, just a quick local run around Rt50, 29, 9 and slabbed it back on I-81... 300 miles around Virginia & West Virginia county side...

    LED SIGNAL LIGHTS - '14 ST

    UPDATE..... LED SIGNAL LIGHTS - '14 ST UPDATE... I've figured out the 2014 Can Am St issue with the LED signal light kit. Apparently, the 14 model can recalibrate it's own LEDs and does this by the owner turning the bike on, holding the hazard light switch for approx 30 secs until the...

    RIDE REPORT - ELKA'S FITTED

    OK, so the Elka's arrived yesterday, the 1+ R. Installation was very easy... Remove Upper side panel and front (where the fog light goes). Jack up the front just enough so the wheel(s) are just off the ground... this takes the pressure off the stock shocks and makes them easier to get off. Two...

    Is it just the RT that has a huge amount of issues?!

    I've been a member here for a month and a half. Had the ST-S for about the same without any problems... 2014, 1 mile on it when I picked it up. It's got 1500 on it now. Is it just me or does the RT have a huge amount of issues? Heat, tires, ignition, stalling... etc. etc. etc! Every day it...

    Wrapping Exhaust Pipe?

    After a few days of spirited riding, I can feel quite a bit of heat on my left leg / ankle area. I know about the issues with previous years heat, but I thought the 2014 STs wouldn't have heat problems? Thinking that maybe wrapping the pipe that comes down the left side, behind the panels will...

    TWISTIES! - Riding Smoke Hole Road

    Took the ST-S down Smoke Hole Road in VA today, to give the BajaRon sway bar mod and tightened suspension a test. I can tell you it did very, very well! I've ordered a set of Elka 1+R for the front as I still think it needs to be a little stiffer for my riding style, but the stock Fox adjustable...
