• 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.

    How do I access/remove the rear saddlebag cables to lube them? '21 RTL

    Ok, thanks to all who helped me on the last question I had on this, it's always appreciated. Now I've been able to use spray lube on the lever, latch mechanism, and even adjust the cables half a turn. Things are great... but as always, that leads to more questions. How do I access the cables to...

    What's the easiest way of Lubing rear bag cables on '21 RTL?

    They’ve been replaced once and the dealer has lubed them once, but they are sticking again. Seems like I just need to do this myself. Can I use one of those bicycle cable lube tools for 5/6mm cables? Then what? Flood it with dry silicone spray? Graphite?? What’s the easiest way to reach them...

    Is it Zumo time???

The big issue I have is seeing the phone screen with the glare from sunlight. The boss is suggesting a Zumo, but it's a fair chunk of...

    OK ... here we go again ... Any suggestions on a rear cup holder for '21 RTL?

    (at least it's not another oil thread!!!) Looking for a cup holder for the rear passenger handles (no armrests), that will handle a LARGE 30 ounce (or so) hydroflask, maybe a liter bottle of water ... something big, that will not peel the rubber off the grabs. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Any tips on adjusting those little trunk lid latch posts??

    I'm trying to adjust the trunk lid latch posts on my 21 RTL. We really had to give the lid a firm push to get it to latch. I have the taillight piece removed so I have access, loosen the posts, and I can get them to a place where the lid latched, unlatches, and locks very well. Problem is that...
