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.
Any easy way to get air into rear tire?

Some are using valve extenders. Most have the same dilemma you do. I can get down there, but getting up is a real PIA for me. :thumbup:

I just cannot believe they made it so hard to do something so basic, it just makes me think I'm stupid and can't see what's right before my eyes which happens sometimes
Nah, It's our old, arthritic, chubby fingers that have issues with doing menial tasks, and I think the school of higher knowledge teaches "common sense" right out of a person!:dontknow:Mac

Thanks for the reminder. Mine has been sitting for 6 mo. and I can't remember the front and rear tire pressure (I have a car tire in back). Help! I'm lazy and go to any one of the tire shops in town and they gladly do it for free. Old and gimpy has it's advantages.

Yeah, it's a Harley part but it's worked perfectly for me for close to four years. https://www.harley-davidson.com/store/valve-stem-extension

Nice! I just ordered one and, even though shipping and tax more than doubled the $10.95 cost, it's bound to be better than trying to attach a pump directly to that short and almost inaccessible little stub that passes for a valve stem.
I assume you DO remove it while riding!

Tire pressure sensors. http://www.lamonstergarage.com/fobo...system-for-the-can-am-spyder-set-of-3-silver/

Those would be spectacular if they automatically refilled the tires when they registered low air pressure!
I think I might stop by my local HD dealer and see if they have one of those, might be the hot ticket!! Mac:2thumbs:
Yes you are correct. The hardest for me, is the type of digital gage I use is sometimes hard to get placed on the valve stem without losing some air. Putting air in the tire is not a problem for me, it's checking the pressure. I like to use digital gages because I feel they are more accurate than manual/analog types. It's a tit-for-tat situation and yes, you are on your knees just as much. Mac:dontknow:

If you have an emergency compressor you're all set, but if not, you might look at the Harley comperssor that comes with a valve extension and is a good compressor. It's a bit larger than some others on the market but it is well designed IMO.
