• 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.

Corbin parts repaint

About a week ago I received a pair of Corbin saddlebags to add to my rides already existing Corbin , fender and front fairing. My issue was they didn't match color wise and I don't have the patience or skills to refinish them all myself. So I tore off the parts and found a local classic car restorer to strip and paint the parts.

Picked them up last night and freaking wow! Not only do they now match but they look amazing. Rather than a flat black (which wears bad) to match my phantom or the gloss black that some of the parts already were I went with a hot rod matte black. The painter said the paint was incredibly difficult to work with and lay down but the end result is stellar. The finish looks like it is high density rubber with only a mild tint of gloss to it making it look like it was just wiped down. I'll get some pics after I get everything mounted on the spyder and will post some details on the paint used.
 
Really like the finish but it seems durability may be an issue in the longrun- time will tell.
