• 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.

NEW FARKELS, ALMOST FINISHED (for now)

Started out in the spring by ordering the primary muffler bypass from Pittbull. I was not happy (my fault) as I new I did not get the slip joint gaskets installed correctly. I ordered new gaskets and started over. Practice makes perfect, and yes when I removed the pipe I did indeed have major exhaust leaks.

Next I removed the famous evap canister. BAD idea! This made the gas smell worse than it ever had been before. I reinstalled the canister, but rerouted the vent line up, as far up as I could. Added about a foot of hose. Now I believe the canister is working as it should. I can see some vapors on a hot day but no dripping of fuel.

I then ordered and added the Ultimate seat and driver backrest. Seat is OK and is getting better as it breaks in. It is starting to soften up a bit.

Next I added the Two Brothers M5 Carbon Fiber silencer. I must say Nice piece. Easy install, took less than 35 minutes. I must say I only have a few miles on it. Just installed it today but not as loud as I thought it might be. I am happy about that and it gives a real nice deep throated tone. The wife was not happy that I ordered this part but today she told me it sounded good.

I also ordered the RAM handle bar mount and X grip for my phone but it is back ordered and not expected to ship for another three weeks.

I also REMOVED a farkle I added last year. I removed JT's air filter and intake. It served it purpose at the time but with the 2014 air flow panels and the primary muffler bypass I felt it was no longer needed and I got tired of the intake noise.

Here are some pics of the Two Brothers and you can also see my new seat.
