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.

First Farkle to get!
If you are going to be taking panels off often to route those new LED's, or change oil, or, or,... This is the absolute best first farkle to get! :yes::yes::firstplace: Took me about 20 minutes to install per the videos. The very first time I popped off the mirror (after watching videos even!!) I broke the plastic mount :banghead:. Ordered Magic Mirrors that day. The only down side - I dropped them when prying apart and got two stuck together without a separator! WOW:shocked: did it take effort to get those magnets apart!
Edit: I did not use the tethers, as the wire connector also holds the very light mirror casing. I have never dropped one, they pop off now with a good downward pressure - not a "punch" like before.

tethers
re the tethers
when we first brought out the MMs, the tethers were difficult to fit,and quite frankly,left a lot to be desired:yikes:
they were difficult to make also
so it was decided to discontinue them
the type we now use are simple to make easy to fit and extremely effective
so we now supply them in the kit and encourage their use:2thumbs:
we use a slightly different fitment technique for the magnets now,for bikes with analogue gauges
1.bring the bike up to temp
2.place the top magnet only and watch the temp gauge
3.if the gauge rises then flip the magnet over then refit...the gauge may drop slightly but this is the best option
4.repeat process for remaining 2 magnets then repeat for the other side watching the fuel gauge
of course the best option is to remove the analogues completely and fit something worthwhile in the holes..like a bsb port or blinker repeater or airbag pressure gauge
