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.

Fog lights are. That's why when highbeams are activated, the vehicle shuts off the either OR both the low and fogs.
Parking/side marking lights are still required.. and the fender lights also may be required under certain states cause the front wheels are wider then the chassis and body of the vehicle, depends if they want to classify it as a motorcycle or automobile, and some states still vary.

lights
Agree with above, that is how my Chrysler lights work, On my Rt I am legal with the two Glenda fog lights mounted sort of on the A frame, but when I turn on the high beams I have two PIAA spot lights, the two oem headlights and the two Glendas and I am illegal, but I have not been stopped and probably will not be because I am consistent in dimming my high beams and it seems the LEOs mostly ignore lights and loud pipes on bikes. Were that no so, 90% of the Harleys would be impounded.
On my 1800 Gold Wing with a Hannigan sidecar I had the following when I turned on the hihg beams: two oem low beams, two oem high beams, two PIAA driviing lights on the forks, two Glenda fog lights and two PIAA driving lights [and the high beams were 85 watt rallye bulbs] for a total of 10 forward facing headlights, I was careful and hardly used the high beams if any traffic was around, dimmed early when I did use them, but out on the open road I really lit up the countryside and was never stopped. I do live in southern Illinois deer country and drive a lot at night and I have hit two deer on the bike both during noon and 2PM.

I have added no lights to mine.
He looked at the 2 marker lights in the fender, lowbeam headlights, fog lights, and then on mine there are 2 little LED lights above and outside of the headlights.
He told me that I could change the marker lights on the fender to yellow.
I think I am legal though because the marker lights on the fenders and the little LEDave lights put out less than the 300 candle power

Have we considered the possibility, that this LEO might have just wanted an excuse to get a closer look at the bike? :dontknow:
