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 suggestions on more comfortable Seats?

Whiz, I tried most of them on my F3-L. The stock seat had me squirming after 30 minutes, the BRP Coast to Coast and Cannonball were not much better, nor was the Mustang or Ultimate (I managed to borrow the last two for a few weeks). I have never tried a Corbin, and probably never will based on hardness reports and the cost if I need to return it from Aus. I have tried Airhawk, Gel inserts etc etc.
The only solution for me, to provide all day comfort, was to go with a custom seat from Russell Daylong. They guarantee their seats to provide this, and will modify it if it doesn’t provide this first up. Seth Laam also does great custom seat, and does them cheaper than Daylong, but I have stuck with Daylong as I know it works for my 6’7” 300lb frame, and has done on my last 3 two wheelers and previous Spyder F3-L. If Daylong tell me they can’t modify my ‘21 RT seat because of the hinge, I will be trying Seth Laam’s capabilities (and without any great angst).
Just some food for thought. We are all different shapes and sizes, with different tolerance levels.

For decades, when a saddle didn't fit, I'd take me and the bike to an experienced saddle customizer. If you have one in your area, I suggest you ride there, or look into their web site to see what they can do.
Like many, I found me F3L's stock seats to be very uncomfortable. I bought an Ultimate and found the best ting I liked about it was that it's one piece. But one size does not fit all and I had to have it customized by my go-to guy. I not only had it tailored to my butt, I had him add heat too. A win, win.
Note the hi-lo switches.
The blue foam is new and the yellow the original.

I’m jealous, Bluebelle:thumbup: …… if only Ultimate worked for ME, I would be a very happy camper

I can ride all day on my Ultimate, guess I'm lucky, Peteoz. I've used lots of others (including some of the Meyers bros)--never tried the Russell Day Long, but those who spend that dough always sing the praises.

I have two suggestions.1 buy a gel pad from mototcycledave.com and follow his directions to install it yourself. You won't be out much if it doesn't work for you and if it does you will have saved a bunch of money. 2nd if you really want a custon seat call Hartco International,they are in Florida I think.Talk to Mark. They have been building custom seats for 50 years and are very good at it. They also make fitted sheepskin seat covers which is another way to go. If you go with Mark you will not need to give him your seat pan as he builds a new one for your seat. You can keep riding till your new seat comes.
