• 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.

Couple of little mods today

We added some mirrors and LED lights today. Both look great on the bike and are easy installs. :doorag:

A couple of questions; Will those mirrors clear the factory windshield and how is vibration while driving? On my Ryker Rally, the mirrors are hard to tell anything other than there is an object there, vibration is bad. Also, on the hemet lock, I have been looking into some solutions, but I like the grip guards for blocking some wind in the cold weather, any idea if you can keep the guard with the lock?

The factory shield, bars and mirrors all move together. No problem there.

I just put these on today so I can't tell you about vibration but it has to be better that being on the end of the bars.

Once you have the mirrors changed out the locks will replace the old mirrors. The hand guards still mount in the same place. You might have to do some tweaking to get it how you like it, that I can't say for sure.

On the cheap, I just tapped a couple 1/4-20 holes in the aluminum.... took a 2" wide, 10 long, 1/4" thick steel bar and fastened it to a backrest. Simple and effective.
 
LED headlights

Lamont,
What about heat with the LED headlights? A lot of the H4 replacement LED's have a built in heat sink out the back due to this concern. I looked at your install picture and I didn't see any. Does your bulb not need it?

There is a heat sink on the bulb.

Added these upgrades, also. Plus floorboards and throttle control. Great for crusing and relaxing in the upgraded comfort seat. Ride on!
