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 Mods for my wife's 2013 ST-S.

where did you get the usb plug ??Also, because I have a set of heated grips to install, as well as aux lights and a USB power plug, I pulled the panel and added the switches. The Heated grips plug is there and went right in. I pulled the hot and ground from the second from the left socket for the USB, and the Aux switch seemed about right so I plugged it in. I wont know on that until the lights come in.
More to come when the rest of the parts come in and I have time.

Works great.
If you use the orange plug, it is for air suspension I think, and the red and black wires have switched power and the right connectors if you pull them out of the plug, it is a dead easy install.
Ignore the Posi-Tap. I am using that red hot wire to activate a relay for my heated gear, also.

All I can say is
Fantastic JOB... I like your bags better than my Givi bags and I like the mounts better.
Way to go on your project.

Thanks Dave. My wife really likes how they look. They are quite functional as well.

So after a couple of weeks have you had any problems with that USB port? I read the reviews of it on Amazon and a couple of people mentioned it wasn't suitable for USB-C applications as the internal components aren't up to the advertised rating.
There's also a variation that includes a voltage readout between the USB ports.

No, no issues. It works well in the rain too. I suspect their issues are more with their devices. Some, especially iPhones, don't work well with non Apple USBs.

Interested in obtaining the Heated Grips & Usb switches. (source)?

Grips from here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/172289050588?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT They are a dealer, and he has great customer service.
The USB was here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010T3D1CQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The light switch was here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T7DVYVU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Perfect factory direct plug on the switch. I used the hot and ground from the dummy plug for the USB. Red and black wire came out and plugged right into the USB.

Unfortunately the Stebel horn would not fit where the stock one is, though it worked. So I installed a louder conventional FIAAM High horn.
Bolts right in, much louder.
May I ask What type of horn and where did you purchase it. Thanks

Knock off Fiamm I got from AutoZone. It comes in a high low set. I used only the high. You can get them at Harbor Freight as well.

Saw an interesting USB on another post, so I thought I would try it. Plug and play like the one I used:
But the new one has a volt meter, which I wanted to monitor when I have all the accessories and heated gear turned on.
Plug and play, and works perfectly.
Also note the GPS mount.
