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.

I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

I posted a couple of weeks ago (in another thread) that I adjusted the belt tension.

We took it for a ride last night for the first time since the work was done and I'm pleased to report that there was no vibration from the drive belt. I ran it through several gear and rpm combos and the vibration never surfaced.
Air pressure in the rear tire was between 18 and 19 lbs, combined weight of gear and riders was probably near 450 lbs.
