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.
It's in the garage ...

Compared to my Yami Raider 1900 with RB Velocity Pro it's like a mouse walking across the living room, but I kind enjoy the change makes a more pleasant ride but will get up and go when needed.

Not sure if it's a PITA. I have a F6B in mat black/silver ... some folks say it's crap paint. But, I just use some Windex like stuff cut 50% with water ... spray it on and wipe down with a micro fiber cloth. Follow up with some spray wax, or some such. I've had no problems.
We'll see how the Can Am is in a few weeks.
I do dig the mat finish on the F3S SE. Looks bad ass !

Maybe we'll see you on the road sometime. We're east of Uconn.

You may ....
I typically wear a yellow helmet on the motorcycles. Both the F6 and the HD have intense highly visible yellow running / fog lights, too. I'm kinda hard to miss .... hopefully.
Plan on riding the F3 Friday afternoon and this weekend. And, hope to get the VIN verified soon, too.

Installed ...
Got home a bit early, so decided to see how hard it would be to install the 28" tinted F4 windscreen.
Read the directions a couple times and dug in. Not too bad. Pretty much straight forward after I found that I needed to stretch the front mounting bracket a bit to get it in position. No biggie. Install went forward with my "Asian tools".
Had the screen on the lowest position and rode up and down the driveway (again ...) several times. I was looking over the top a bit, wind in my hair (no helmet). Much better than no screen for sure. One thing I did notice that others have posted about ... exhaust smell. I was only going 20 mph. Changed the position to the most up right position ... seemed better. But, that's not a good thing. One does not need to be smelling exhaust fumes the entire time one is riding?
Odd ...
Also, installed the foam grip dealies. Now, I have a use for hand sanitizer. Finally ! If you do this, apply a crap load of sanitizer to both the stocker grips and the inside of the foam guys. Lots is better than not enough. I typically install these on all my bikes. I like the softer / larger grips.
Sooooo .... manana, I'm going to tackle Lamont's RIP boards (butane torch arrived yesterday), and the Ultimate backrest. I may go riding first !

Having some fun here ... !
So, after lunch, I removed the seats and installed the Ultimate backrest. A tiny bit of angst in replacing the rider saddle ... seems no one really designs saddles to be easily removed and replaced. Dunno why.
Anyway, the install was all good. Decided to take the bike out for a ride instead of installing the RIP boards. Riding is always better.
125 miles later .... well, I like this machine. I've pretty much stopped the "twitchy" sensation that seems to be the result of over correcting minor bike movements. i chose some roads with some nice curves and could eventually take them at ~10 over posted. I'm not completely comfortable, but figure another couple hundred miles or so and I will.
Had a full face helmet on, and did not smell the exhaust much. Especially when I moved the 28" F4 windscreen to the most forward position to cut down on wind noise. Nice option, too. I think I could have a bit taller shield ... and that would give me more adjustability.
***** I do have something that maybe someone can help me with. My throttle has about 1/2 inch of play in it. Slack. How can I adjust this to something like 1/8" or so? This is just toooooo much play.
