• 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.

At It Again!

I ordered the LED Headlight kit and the Billet Parking Brake Handle from Slingmods. The stock headlights are fairly yellow, and the parking brake handle seems fine until I tried to move it without unlocking. I do not think it would take much of a tug to break the plastic handle.

You're probably right. That lever does seem a bit flimsy. I replaced my headlights with a set of LEDs from Amazon for less than $40 with free shipping. They work real well, although I have not done any night riding yet. I do like the white instead of the yellow though. It gives it a nice clean appearance.

??? . Did your radio go bad ???? .... a lot of them do because of the LED headlights ..... Mike :ohyea:

Radio? My Ryker ain't got no "radio." The only sound I hear when I am riding is the sweet symphony of air whooshing past my ears. Personally, I never did get how folks can enjoy a radio on a motorcycle. But, a lot of folks do have them. I don't even listen to a radio in my four wheel cage, unless I am on a long trip, by myself and bored to being drowsy. But, that is just my view.
 
the radio does not go bad because of the LED's. The HID's & LED's style headlights are very noisy electrically...It cause interference in the broadcast band that the radio receives. Usually just moving the antenna lead away from the lights or some sort of shielding
by the lights will do the trick....
