• 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.

Cowl install - any idea what these bolts & spacers are for?

Just got my F3S but in prepping it, the dealer forgot to install the cowling. They subsequently shipped it to me and it readily goes where the passenger seat was. It also came with some hardware to eliminate the grab rails but I elected to keep them on. It also came with two bolts about 2 inches long, two nuts encased in plastic, two washers and two aluminum cylinders about 1 1/4 inches long. I have no idea what purpose they serve and the limited documentation I got from the dealer makes no mention of them. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I Believe those are inserts for where the brass foot peg inserts go when you remove your passenger foot pegs/floorboards and replace with your trim.

I had these in mine when I replaced the cowl with the seat (removed for seat and replaced with the brass inserts).

If you no longer have the triangular trim piece that goes behind the footpeg you don't need to worry about these.

Thank you for your reply - it makes sense now that you have pointed it out. I’m leaving the passenger foot pegs on for the very few times I have a passenger.
