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.

Hand brake lever
Year, I found a bunch, they are in stock at your friendly Harley dealer. It's the current lever for the touring bikes and a few others. You'll notice the reservoir on the HDs are mounter "snugly" against the handle bar and has about 3 fingers of width between the grip and the closest curve of the lever. That same reservoir/lever combo on the Spyder is mounted "geometrically" different and is over 4 fingers between the grip and lever. I've looked everywhere for an adjustable lever like the clutch has, but no dice. The distance is not a problem on the HDs. I've noticed some of the production the Triumphs have adjustable, somewhat similar levers, but I doubt if they would fit well where the lever attaches to the reservoir. I'll PM you the rest of the story right now.

A few months ago I called ISCI to see if they would provide me the name of the manufacturer that made the assembly so I could see if there was an adj lever that fit. They let me know there is not one available and despite having several discussions with the manufacturer it did not appear like there was going to anything forthcoming.
On a more positive note, ISCI also informed me that they have received numerous requests for an adj lever and they were considering engineering/manufacturing one of their own although it would be a little pricey at 1st due to the cost of developing it.
I ride in traffic constantly and although I can cover the brake with my index and middle finger it's only up to the 1st joint of the fingers. That doesn't provide much in the way of leverage for those times when someone in a car decides they want to occupy the same space.
I'd gladly pay for a pricey adjustable lever. Hopefully there is enough folks out there that feel the same to convince ISCI that an adj lever would be a profitable addition to their line of quality products.
