• 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.

Anyone running Wilber or Hargon shocks, if so what are your thoughts and impression of them.
Just playing with the thought of putting on the rear for now.

Do you mean Hagons? I have had both Wilber (BMW) and Hagons (Brit bikes and a vintage Suzuki) and I was very pleased with both. Whenever I find the need to change my Spyder shocks I will probably gile Wilbers a call.
 
I just installed a Wilber 640 HPA shock on the rear of my F3S. I bought it thru Ted Porter Beemershop. It took about (6) weeks to get from order-delivery. It is a beautiful shock and works awesome. It wasn't cheap at $1080/delivered, but it was same cost/cheaper than similar items by Elka/Race Tech. If you ride two up, the hydraulic preload adjuster is a must! Simply twist a knob to change preload rating. The shock is custom built to many of your specs by Wilber in Germany. I did inquire with Marcus at M2, but he was unable to build me a shock with a hydraulic preload adjuster. You won't be disappointed.

I ran Wilbers front and rear with manual hydraulic adjustment for 4 years, MrWog…..they ran faultlessly during that time, and did the job to perfection. The only reason I didn’t get them for my new ‘21 RT was because the local shock dealer no longer stocked them for the Spyder (didn’t ask why), and I discovered a local(ish) Aussie manufacturer (Ikon), who had a product that was just as good (but without the hydraulic adjustment), and cheaper. They also are performing flawlessly:thumbup:
