• 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.

    Fox Racing Shocks Review...

    I had a local dealer (Jim Potts - good guys) install Fox shocks last Saturday...I have 11 RS. Ryde on the corners was pretty smooth but I need mire than 30 miles to test them fully...I will write a review as soon as I get more time on them.

    New Spyder owner with Highway speed concerns(Wind blast & turns),need input please!

    I am 35 and 6 ft so I am tall enough to get abused by the wind at high speeds. I got a 23in Calsi windshield but Madstad might be a better option. Get 4inch risers if your bike didn't come w any...that will make a huge difference in your ryding position and will add more comfort. I have ridden...
